We remember all the astonishing images that the late Harris Savides, the director of photography and one of America's foremost visual artists, gave us throughout his career. In a classical music blog, no better way to salute him than these two videos: the desert landscape of Gus Van Sant's "Gerry" painted with light by Savides, accompanied by Arvo Part's "Spiegel Im Spiegel". And Nicole Kidman's moment of clarity at the opera house in Jonathan Glazer's "Birth".
