Enigma starring Kate Winslet, Saffron Burrows, Dougray Scott & Jeremy Northam directed by Michael Apted
Amazon.com Editorial Review:
In this twisty thriller about Britain's secret code breakers during World War II, Tom Jericho (Dougray Scott, best known as the villain of Mission Impossible 2) devised the means to break the Nazi Enigma code, but a relationship gone awry sent the erratic genius into a breakdown. Now the Nazis have switched their codes, just as huge convoys of ships with crucial supplies are crossing the Atlantic--and squads of U-boats are hunting for them. With the help of his former lover's roommate (the ever-adorable Kate Winslet) and under the watchful eye of a suspicious intelligence officer (Jeremy Northam), Jericho struggles to figure out if there's a spy among the code breakers as they fight to crack the new Nazi ciphers. The plot gets extremely tricky but the excellent cast keeps you engaged. Written by the extremely tricky playwright-screenwriter Tom Stoppard (who cowrote Shakespeare in Love and Brazil). --Bret Fetzer
A bit of trivia: Mick Jagger was one of the producers of this cerebral thriller.

Riding on a wave of serendipity, I came across this clip of Lara St. John playing the Der Hölle Rache melody in a duet with, of all things, the Chinese erhu played by George Gao.
Watch her on
.Who's Lara St. John, you say?
Amazon.com says:
"Born in London, Ontario, Lara St. John was a child prodigy on the violin at the age of two, and went on her first European tour at the age of ten! At age thirteen she skipped from the eighth grade to a B.A. program at the Curtis Institute of Music. She plays a priceless 1779 Guadagnini violin. Her compelling personality and insightful performances have stimulated interest in classical music in a wide audience that seldom listened to it before. She scandalized some of the old school for appearing scantily clad on a couple of album covers, but she is completely authentic: a great violinist, whatever she is or is not wearing. As one critic wrote, she "has nothing to hide"--her musicality is first class. Lara St. John's brilliant musicianship, striking looks, and vivid personality have made her an authentic classical superstar."
Track List:
01. Concerto No. 1: Allegro
02. Concerto No. 1: Andante
03. Concerto No. 1: Allegro
04. Concerto No. 2: Allegro
05. Concerto No. 2: Adagio
06. Concerto No. 2: Allegro Assai

09. Double Concerto in D minor: Allegro
10. Sonata No. 1: Adagio
11. Sonata No. 1: Fuga
12. Sonata No. 1: Siciliana
13. Sonata No. 1: Presto
Watch her play the Prelude to Bach's Partita No. 3 in E Major on YouTube.

After hearing Natalia Marsh's version, I went in search of a complete performance of the aria and found this. The superb technique and vocal agility of Sumi Jo is demonstrated in her rendition of Der Hölle Rache Kocht In Meinem Herzen ("Hell's vengeance boils in my heart") from Mozart's Die Zauberflöte.

.For a superior theatrical performance which completely enthralls, one can't go much further than Diane Damrau's Queen of the Night.

Natasha Marsh singing an adaptation of Queen of the Night from Mozart's The Magic Flute for ITV's Euro 2008 title sequence.
What Natasha says about this version:
"I've sung Pamina in opera houses all round Europe, but I'm not a Queen of the Night, with those stratospheric top Fs," she stresses. "So I told ITV we'd have to do an adaptation, because it's not my role. We changed the key, obviously, then they found an arranger to add a different take on it. It's a little bit more brass-heavy than Mozart's original and the orchestration is different. It gives it a more epic quality."
Quote from Telegraph.co.uk:
Mozart's challenge
The Queen of the Night’s Der Hölle Rache (“The Vengeance of Hell”) is usually known as the Queen of the Night aria, even though it’s the second one she sings in The Magic Flute. Famous for its two-octave range, it’s peppered with nosebleed-high Fs and is one of the most exacting examinations of a soprano’s coloratura. The aria was first performed onstage by Mozart’s sister-in-law, Josepha Hofer, and subsequently tested the mettle of a roll-call of grand divas. It was also a favourite of the risibly inept soprano Florence Foster Jenkins.

The Celtic Tenors are composed of Matthew Gilsenan, James Nelson and Niall Morris.
Remember Me / Recuérdame was written by Phil Coulter specially for the Celtic Tenors. It's "sinous melody and poignant words recall the Lament for the Wild Geese, on which it is based, and though it has a Spanish Civil War setting, the feel is unmistakably contemporary."
Watch The Celtic Tenors sing Recuérdame on
Lyrics:
the moonlight dances among the trees
the campfire glows in the autumn breeze
and i am lost in my thoughts of you
remember me, recuerdame
my comrade strums on a sad guitar
my mind is drifting to where you are
i'm holding you like i used to do
remember me, recuerdame, mi amor!
so long ago, so far away each night i pray
"volverán los dias pasados"
i promise you that come what may
those days will stay ever in my memory
in all this world i could never find the love that i had to leave behind
but duty calls, so whate'er befalls
remember me, recuerdame, mi amor!
God only knows what tomorrow brings
you're in my heart so my spirit sings
and i'll be strong just as long as you remember me
recuerdame, mi amor!
