The Duchess of Duke Street - The Complete Collection

An inspiring story of triumph and loss, love and laughter

Born into the servant class, Louisa Leyton rises from the scullery to become the best chef in Edwardian London and manager of the most elegant -- and discreet -- hotel in town. She learns the rules of high society from powerful men captivated by her beauty, but she never sheds her Cockney accent or attitude. Even in the throes of World War I, Louisa proves she can take whatever life dishes out and remain in a class all her own.

Based on the true story of Rosa Lewis, a culinary genius and owner of London’s venerable Cavendish Hotel, this acclaimed BBC series dramatizes the life of an indomitable woman in stories full of humor and heart. Created by John Hawkesworth (Upstairs, Downstairs) and starring Gemma Jones (Bridget Jones’s Diary, Sense and Sensibility) as Louisa and Christopher Cazenove (A Knight’s Tale, TV’s Dynasty) as Charlie, the dashing love of her life.

As seen on Masterpiece Theatre

DVD SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE a biography of Rosa Lewis, Edwardian period background, photo gallery, and cast filmographies.

Series One
From the golden age of Masterpiece Theatre comes this beloved 1976 British miniseries by the creators of Upstairs, Downstairs. Gemma Jones gives a performance for the ages in this rags-to-riches saga that charts the ascendancy of the indomitable Louisa Trotter, who rose from scullery maid to become "the finest cook in London" and Edwardian society's premier hostess. Inspired by the true story of Rosa Lewis, who held court at her renowned Cavendish Hotel, The Duchess of Duke Street is the video equivalent of a good read. Immerse yourself in this lavishly mounted BBC production that impeccably re-creates a bygone era at the turn of the century and captivates viewers with the tragedies and triumphs of Louisa's story, which includes an ill-fated affair with the Prince of Wales, an unhappy marriage, and struggles with bankruptcy and ill health. But Louisa, Cockney accent intact, prevails as the reigning mistress of Hotel Bentinck. --Donald Liebenson

Series Two
For devotees left hungry for more at the conclusion of The Duchess of Duke Street, Gemma Jones re-creates her signature role as the indomitable Louisa Trotter, the former scullery maid who left her mark on turn-of-the-century England as "the finest cook in London" and the reigning mistress of Hotel Bentinck, in the second set of this series. As her own mother remarks, Louisa "has done very well. She's moved up in the world." The Bentinck is no Fawlty Towers. Louisa, based on the real-life Rosa Lewis, the proprietor of the fashionable Cavendish Hotel, presides over her domain with a stiff-backed iron rule. She is, as one of her staff remarks, "a tough customer ... a woman with spirit." Throughout these 16 episodes, packaged in six volumes, both she and her employees will be severely tested. Louisa's troublemaking brother inspires mutiny among the devoted staff, and Louisa is besieged by mysterious love letters. Darkening the horizon is the deepening shadow of World War I. This long-sought sequel to one of Masterpiece Theatre's finest hours boasts the same impeccable production values and peerless ensemble acting. Make your reservation. --Donald Liebenson

Highlights from the Duke Ellington Centennial Edition (1927-1973)

The 24-CD Centennial Edition of Duke Ellington's RCA recordings was the crown jewel of 1999 reissues. There's already been a single CD extracted from the set, but there's inevitably greater depth in this three-CD package. As an ancient emcee announces on "Cotton Club Stomp" from 1929, Ellington was not only "the greatest living master of jungle music," but also the most daring and imaginative artist at work in American music, a composer who could span the boisterous and sublime. The first CD provides a good sample of early evidence, including the first true extended work of jazz, the two-part, eight-minute "Creole Rhapsody" from 1931, featuring the fine solo work of clarinetist Barney Bigard and trumpeter Cootie Williams. The train simulations on 1933's "Daybreak Express" are still astonishing--program music pressing toward the avant-garde--while Williams's plunger mute is a delightfully disruptive burr in an otherwise conventional cover of "My Old Flame." The sound of the early tracks isn't just a tribute to RCA and contemporary digital technology. Ellington possessed a special grasp of the recording studio, getting the best sonic picture of his compositions, just as he possessed a knowledge of his sidemen's strengths and potentials. Many of those emblematic performances are here, like Bigard's on "Mood Indigo" and several by Johnny Hodges.

Disc Two extends from 1940 to 1946, another rich period in Ellington's relationship with RCA Victor and the beginnings of his longtime relationship with arranger-composer Billy Strayhorn, including such wonderful works as "Take the 'A' Train" and "Chelsea Bridge." The third disc provides an excellent sample of Ellington's oft-neglected later career, including a beautiful concert rendition of "Come Sunday" with singer Esther Marrow and the glorious "Isfahan" from the Far East Suite. Throughout, one is in the presence of an unparalleled musician and the orchestra that was the living, breathing embodiment of his creations. There's also room for one of Duke's 1940 duets with bassist Jimmy Blanton as well as his first recorded meeting with Louis Armstrong. Rather than competing with it, this makes an excellent companion to the recent three-CD Columbia selection, The Duke. Each fills in some of the other's chronological gaps, and together they provide "alternate takes" during the early years when Ellington was label hopping to make pseudonymous cover versions of his own tunes. --Stuart Broomer
