Ken Russell's ABC of British Music
Ken Russell's ABC of British Music is a 1988 British documentary directed by Ken Russell. It was broadcast as an edition of The South Bank Show.[1]
Russell said: "Some people said it was the most beautiful film they'd ever seen, and others wrote it was shocking and obscene, because I showed a naked woman in a lake, an image not commonly associated with romantic music."[2] According to Michael Brooke, writing for the BFI's Screenonline website, the film contains "several spellbinding moments - generally those where his obvious love of the subject wins out".[1]
The film won an Emmy for best performing arts programme.[3]
