Medici.tv, affiliated with the classical-video company Medici Arts, is now offering free broadcasts online. At the moment you can watch various events from the Aspen Festival, notably David Zinman conducting the premiere of John Harbison's Great Gatsby Suite; streaming tonight is Peter Sellars's production of Mozart's Zaide from Aix-en-Provence. You can also download items from Medici's back-catalogue, at the reasonable price of 7 euros each; the online stock includes Frank Scheffer's film of Stockhausen's Helicopter Quartet, the same director's excellent Elliott Carter documentary A Labyrinth of Time, and Bruno Monsaingeon's mesmerizing portrait of Sviatoslav Richter ("There are two things that I hate: analysis and power").
