Filippa Giordano 40 reviews Georges Bizet, Camille Saint-Saëns, ...
Atlantic / Wea, 2000
Not really opera, but fun anyway
As previous reviewers have said, "purist" opera fans would probably not consider this album to be opera, but it's still very enjoyable. Filippa Giordano will not likely be cast in a Wagnerian role anytime soon; she has a beautiful voice, but it does sound rather thin at times (she's no Maria Callas ...

Operatica: Shine 18 reviews Ginger Murphy, Ali Babak Afshar, ...
E-Magine Records, 2002
Stunningly beautiful music
+ Better then R&B + Very good, yet not comparable to Diva Dance
I would describe this music as a mellow and unusal mix of music where Enya meets Maria Callas, and I am a fan of both, so that's a good thing. It is so good that Billboard Music called it the best classical crossover of the year!
I would call this music techno opera scene from the future with ...

The author takes us on a tour of each of the major rooms of a typical home: the living room, the bedroom, the dining room, and the kitchen.

Italian Style 1 review Jane Gordon-Clark
Adams Media Corporation, 1999
Creative yet classical approach
The subject itself is so exciting that you must be really bad writers and photographers to miss the point. "Italian style" authors are both very creative persons. Read "a new look at country style" from photograph Simon Upton. You might be shocked by the green carpet on the floor of a very simple ...

Greek Designs (British Museum Pattern Books) Susan Bird
David Brown Book Company, 2003
Greek art usually brings to mind magnificent statues and gleaming temples. However, the richness and variety of Greek designs, as represented in the drawings of this book, remind us of the many other extraordinary achievements of the Greeks. Borders framing vase paintings, friezes carved on buildings, emblems placed on coins and other ornaments are exquisitely designed. Patterns of plant forms ...

Swept Away 47 reviews Giancarlo Giannini, Mariangela Melato
Fox Lorber, 1997
A gem from the past
+ Not for everone + Swept Away
In a nutshell and taking off the PC blinders that other reviewers have stuck to their faces Swept Away is about natural sex roles (yes, male domination and female submission) and how societal complexities and absurdities which we create distort them. The writer (female) bangs this into the head of ...
