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 ...

Attention Sarah Brightman fans!!!!

+ second listening

I purchased this CD on the reccomendation of a coworker who also enjoys Sarah Brightman as much as I do. I have only had it for a week, and have listened to it from beginning to end at lesat twice a day.

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 focus of this book is "creating the feeling of Italy in your home room by room". 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. In each section she goes into great detail about what the Italian style ...

Italian Style1 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 ...

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 ...
