Home Classical Court

From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

Black Swan seemed to me less about classical music and dance. . .

. . . and more about psychology and troubled fantasy. Ballet was merely the vehicle.

I do agree with you about classical music movies in general. There are exceptions though. Although Ken Russell is mostly pretty bad (Lisztomania, anyone?), his first biopic, about Elgar, mostly kept to the facts in an interesting way. I also saw a Czech biopic of Smetana, in which Sviatoslav Richter had a cameo role as Franz Liszt - they did a good job with his make-up! Then there are a bunch of Soviet films about various Russian composers, including "The Great Glinka" which won a Stalin prize - what more could you want? ;-)
