This recent entry in the Juxtapositions series of documentaries on contemporary classical music features two films with a spotlight on Tan Dun. The Chinese-born New York resident composer has won wide acclaim over the last 15 years for his music where East meets West. Frank Scheffer's film TEA (2005) works best as a making-of production to accompany the Deutsche Grammophon DVD of Tan Dun's opera Tea: A Mirror of Soul. Chronicling the 2002 Tokyo premiere by the Netherlands Opera and the NHK Symphony Orchestra, it features interviews with Tan Dun, the librettist Xu Ying, and the director Pierre Audi. I think the opera is pretty weak, but the documentary did increase my enjoyment of it somewhat by showing how many of the jerky, erratic mannerisms in the initial scenes are derived from Chinese shadow puppetry.
