February 2012 Music Highlights
There’s a real treat for music lovers – as well as now including a fantastic range of CDs, we have some essential new musicals and film biographies. Highlights include idol on Parade (the film that made Anthony Newley a star), and the superb Song Without End – the powerful biography of Franz List. We also pay tribute to the late Ken Russel with his magnificent Mahler biopic Tommy – The Who’s brilliant Rock Opera.
Margaret Thatcher
With Meryl Streep’s award-winning performance in The Iron Lady dazzling cinema audiences and critics, it’s a perfect time to look back at the career of the remarkable British Prime Minister. As well as the great offer on the BBC’s The Rise and Fall of Margaret Thatcher set, we have a truly fascinating documentary from ITN Margaret Thatcher – The Iron Lady.
