ENGLISH

<p>Pare Lorentz's <i>The Plow that Broke the Plains</i> (1936) and <i>The River</i> (1937) are landmark American documentary films.* Aesthetically, they break new ground in seamlessly marrying pictorial imagery, symphonic music, and poetic free verse, all realized with supreme artistry. Ideologically, they indelibly encapsulate the strivings of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's &lsquo;New Deal'. Virgil Thomson's scores for both films are among the most famous ever composed for the movies. Aaron Copland praised the music for <i>The Plow</i> for its "frankness and openness of feeling", calling it "fresher, more simple, and more personal" than the Hollywood norm. He called the music for <i>The River</i> "a lesson in how to treat Americana". </p> <p>*Available from Naxos on DVD (2.110521)</p>
