    Burton at the BBC: Classic Excerpts from the BBC Archive, Hörbuch, Digital, 168min
    Highlights from Richard Burton's finest BBC radio performances from the 1940s to the 1980s. Richard Burton was one of the most famous British actors of the twentieth century, renowned for his magical, mellifluous voice. Before Hollywood tempted him away, he worked frequently for the BBC and many of his most electrifying performances were recorded there. This classic compilation features some of the very best of Burton, including his very first radio role in The Corn is Green; the heroic Roland in The Dark Tower; the apocalyptic poem 'Fire and Ice'; Henry V on the eve of Agincourt; the spine-tingling Under Milk Wood and the poignant In Parenthesis. Also included is the complete recording of Emlyn Williams' suspenseful thriller Night Must Fall. In addition, there are extracts from interviews in which Burton talks about Dylan Thomas, his love of rugby, his deepest ambition and his own feelings about his incomparable voice. Whether performing Shakespeare, reading Robert Frost or simply talking about his life and career, Burton is never less than compelling, and this unique anthology is a superb tribute to one of the great icons of stage and screen.

    A collection of twisted Bible tales from the warped mind of J. R.

After the humans engage in some freaky angel sex, God decides to flood the entire world, saving only a drunkard called Noah and his family.Once the humans have repopulated the Earth, God chooses one man called Abram, drags him from his home in the middle of the night, changes his name, and then tells him to kill his son, forming an everlasting covenant with him and his descendants.Later, Jacob steals his brother’s birthmark, boinks his cousins, and comes up with an innovative way to breed sheep. He fathers a dozen kids including Joseph, whose brothers get tired of his dreams of grandeur and sell him to some shapeshifting Ishmaelites who take him to Egypt. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Hands of Mr. Ottermole & Fugue in C Minor, Hörbuch, Digital, 75min
    Legendary horror star Vincent Price is at his scarifying best in these two vintage, full-length episodes of Suspense, "radio's outstanding theater of thrills"! You'll hear an all-star line-up of performers, writers, and even announcers when Price appears in famed mystery author Lucille Fletcher's original radio play "Fugue in C Minor" and Thomas Burke's horror classic, "The Hands of Mister Ottermole." The mellifluous Price is matched against two other actors famed for their roles in crime and horror films, the talented and engaging actress Ida Lupino (Moontide) in the first petrifying program, and the brilliantly arch Claude Rains (The Invisible Man) in the second. Both episodes of Suspense also feature the original commercials that were broadcast with the show. Adding to the all-star line-up, in the first episode, the announcer and spokesman for Roma Wine is Truman Bradley, who would later be host of television's Science Fiction Theater in the mid-50s. The second episode features the vocal talent of Paul Frees as the host/announcer of Suspense, who will be familiar to many listeners for his work in films and in cartoons (in which he was the voice of literally hundreds of famous characters), and to others as the "Ghost Host" - the narrator of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion attraction. Language: English. Narrator: Vincent Price, Ida Lupino. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rebb/000003/bk_rebb_000003_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Rime of the Ancient Mariner , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 29min
    This is the poet's final version of this poem. Coleridge is a master of mellifluous poetic phrasing - hypnotic and incantatory - and uses it deftly to weave a spellbinding tale of sin and redemption.How a ship was driven by storms towards the South Pole; and how then she made her course to the tropical Latitude of the Great Pacific Ocean; and of the strange things that happened; and in what manner the Ancient Mariner came back to his own country.An ancient Mariner meets three youths attending a wedding feast, and detains one. The Wedding-Guest is spell-bound by the old seafaring man, and constrained to hear his tale. The Mariner tells how the ship sailed southward with a good wind and fair weather, till it was drawn by a storm toward the South Pole. In this land of ice, and of fearful sounds, no living thing was to be seen. Until a great sea-bird, an albatross, came through the snow-fog, and was received with great joy and hospitality. And happily, the albatross proved to be a bird of good omen. It followed the ship as it returned northward through fog and floating ice. Then, the ancient Mariner inhospitably kills the pious bird of good omen. There follows a tale in which the Mariner relates the incredible story of supernatural, dreamlike, horrific events where a divine nature spirit force imposes punishment and penance on him for the hellish act of killing the albatross. ungekürzt.

    The Grove (eBook, ePUB)
    ***'Ben Dark is such a wonderful writer - The Grove drew me in from the first line.' Lia Leendertz'The Grove is overflowing with delicious nuggets of cultural, social and garden history - and I adore Ben Dark's humour and humility in equal measure.' Advolly Richmond'A heartfelt romp through the wisteria and wilderness of London's horticulturally remarkable front gardens.' Jack Wallington'Fans of Ben Dark's mellifluous tones on The Garden Log podcast will be delighted by how perfectly his lyrical musings transfer to the printed page as, with infant son in tow, he invites the reader upon a series of horticultural expeditions inspired by the deceptively ordinary planting of the front gardens in a south London street. The kind of thoroughly enjoyable read where you realise, late in the day, that learning has snuck in by the back door, though you feel inclined to forgive the author on account of the fun you've had along the way.'Andrew O'Brien'Any walk is an odyssey when we connect with the plants around us. Each tree or flower tells a tale. Mundane 'suburban' shrubs speak of war and poetry, of money, fashion, love and failure. Every species in this book was seen from one pavement over twelve months and there is little here that could not be found on any road in any town, but they reveal stories of such weirdness, drama, passion and humour that, once discovered, familiar neighbourhoods will be changed forever.' Ben DarkThere is a renewed interest in the nature on our doorsteps, as can be seen in the work of amateur botanists identifying wildflowers and chalking the names on the pavements.But beyond the garden wall lies a wealth of cultivated plants, each with a unique tale to tell. In The Grove, award-winning writer and head gardener Ben Dark reveals the remarkable secrets of twenty commonly found species - including the rose, wisteria, buddleja, box and the tulip - encountered in the front gardens of one London street over the course of year. As Ben writes, in those small front gardens 'are stories of ambition, envy, hope and failure' and The Grove is about so much more than a single street, or indeed the plants found in its 19 ¿ front gardens. It's a beguiling blend of horticultural history and personal narrative and a lyrical exploration of why gardens and gardening matter.

    Sunrise Vol. 2
    SUNRISE (Vol. 2) presents three live recordings of performances in the morning by Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao, symbolizing the ascending vitality of modernism in traditional Indian classical music. Like SUNRISE (Vol. 1), this album of exceptional artistic brilliance features music rooted in the natural metaphor of a rising sun. "Makes the notes dance and quiver in an enchanting manner, spouting mellifluous melody in a variety of tonal nuances, embellishing delectable compositions notable for a refined sense of design..." - The Times of India Typifying the genius of the legendary flautist-composer, the music in this album represents innovation that imparts freshness in melodic composition and elegance in execution to traditional musical structures, enhancing their appeal whilst maintaining the dignity of classicism. AHIR BHAIRAV In this live, recorded performance Panditji interprets in his inimitable style a variation of the oldest known scale in traditional Indian classical music. The rendering summons ethereal emotion that blends a deeply felt spiritualism with romantic visions of a sun rising over a rustic country scene, in which Lord Krishna - in the guise of a cowherd playing the flute - tends to his flock of cattle, preparing them for the day ahead. In the hands of the finest flautist-composer of our time the weight of tradition mingles seamlessly with rusticity and heart-felt devotion. Tabla: Pt. Mahadev Indorkar BHOPAL TODI In this live recording Panditji interprets a rare variation of one of the most popular scales in Indian classical music. The performance emotes compassion and heartfelt empathy with those who suffer physically, intellectually or spiritually. The elegiac composition leans on unadorned musical notes - shorn of technical dazzle - to highlight, without obtrusion, the unassailable dignity of the spirit amidst what chaos there may have been. In the process, classicism finds new meaning appropriate for the modern condition. Tabla: Pt. Mahadev Indorkar HINDOL In the spirit of this album's character highlighting Panditji's devotion to Lord Krishna, this selection features his interpretation of a Raga traditionally associated with an image of Lord Krishna reclining on a swing, surrounded by his devotees. The atmosphere is suffused by playful reverence. An early morning's ambience burnishes the joie de vivre. Panditji's composition is delectable in that the melody easily straddles the subtle ground between elegance and intellectualism, even as it uses rhythm and tempo to present an objective, physical picture of a divine swing in perpetual motion. That the enchanting melody is essentially based on four musical notes - skillfully woven into a substantive, poem-like song - is a testament to Panditji's artistic genius. Tabla: Sanjay Kumar 'No substitute for his flute...the complete master' - The Hindustan Times?? "A volcano of creative expression' - The Indian Express?? "His flute is an unending fountain of myriad melodies, always fresh, always original..." - The Patriot?? 'Creator of beautiful, wide and ethereal canvasses...' - The Deccan Herald?? '20th Century Renaissance Genius..' - The Cleveland Plain Dealer?? 'Intensely romantic...lyrical...extremely serene...' - Rave Magazine?? "Innovator in the world of music.. a versatile genius." -The JS Magazine?? "Seeker of truth through music. One of the greatest flautists of this world" - The Times of India?? "Reflective music, refreshing and genuinely haunting" - The New York Times?? "Awe inspiring. Freshness and finesse in every note. Marked by gay abandon, innovativeness and imaginative vitality" - The Statesman?? "Suave tonicity, lyricism, rich melodic beauty" - The Listening Post?? SUNRISE (Vol. 2) Originally recorded live in Bombay, India and Springfield, VA, USA Digitally re-mastered at The Red & Green company, VA, USA Special thanks to Smt. Lakshmi V. Rao CD version of Sunrise (Vol. 2) manufactured by Disc Makers, Philadelphia, PA, USA Sound Executive Dr. Vijay Vardhan Elchuri Executive Producer Sanjay Kumar © (p) 2014 by Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao & family from The Red & Green Company "Rays from sunrise drew forth buds and stretched them into long stalks, lifted up sap in noiseless streams, opened petals, and sucked out scents in invisible jets and breathings." - Thomas Hardy.

    Our Love
    Allyn Van Dusen has had an active singing career for twenty- five years. Her rich, warm voice soars easily from the low range to the high, and throughout her career she has sung a wide variety of literature, both in the church setting and elsewhere. Her repertoire of over 500 church solos encompasses everything from early music to established favorites to interesting and accessible new songs hot off the press. This breadth is reflected on her debut album, PEACE OF HEART. An accomplished oratorio soloist, recitalist and chamber singer, Allyn has soloed with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Rochester Oratorio Society, the Eastman-Rochester Chorus, the Finger Lakes Symphony Orchestra, the Penfield Symphony Orchestra, Madrigalia, and others too numerous to mention, to the acclaim of music critics. She has also appeared in many opera and musical theatre productions in a variety of roles. She co-directed a chamber music concert series called Fortissimo! During the 1990's, and has been a private voice teacher at the Hochstein Music School in Rochester, and out of her home, for about ten years. Allyn discovered she liked to sing while in high school, but had no formal training until her third year in college (she was then a foreign language major). At Principia College, she was one of the Chapel soloists and soloed in many choral performances under the direction of Robert Rockabrand, with whom she studied voice. At that point she decided to pursue her vocal studies more seriously and earned a Bachelor of Music, magna cum laude, at Boston University, later moving to Rochester, New York to earn her Master of Music degree in vocal performance at The Eastman School of Music. At Eastman she received the Performer's Certificate under the tutelage of Jan DeGaetani, who was not only a consummate vocal artist but also a wonderful mentor and friend. She also studied with Phyllis Curtin at The Tanglewood Music Institute. In the years since, she has had the opportunity to perform a tremendous range of vocal music in the Northeast region, as well as to enjoy a fulfilling life with her two elementary school age children, who are also budding musicians! Reviews: Allyn Van Dusen...displayed a lovely, darkly burnished mezzo soprano. Democrat & Chronicle, Rochester, New York The deep, focused sound of mezzo soprano Van Dusen -- a voice that matches her striking presence -- made the Pie Jesu a spiritual, as well as a musical, experience. Democrat & Chronicle, Rochester, New York [Conductor Roger Wilhelm] had the benefit of excellent soloists, particularly Allyn Van Dusen, who sang her Pie Jesu with simplicity and feeling (and no book, which made all the difference). City Newspaper, Rochester, New York ...there were moments of great beauty. Allyn Van Dusen's performance...was outstanding in every respect: her vocal tone was mellifluous and marvelously controlled and her sense of timing free but never reckless. Democrat & Chronicle, Rochester, New York Mezzo soprano Allyn Van Dusen displayed a rich voice and fine phrasing. Wolfe Publications Allyn Van Dusen, as Lady Thiang, sang her famous 'Something Wonderful' with great dignity, making it the emotional highlight of the show. City Newspaper, Rochester, New York Comments on first CD, Peace of Heart: The CD has arrived, and we all think it is WONDERFUL - so beautifully executed. Am bringing it to the attention of others and hope they will order it as well. Many thanks for producing something this beautiful! L.G., New Hampshire I love the Peace of Heart CD! The whole thing is really first class -- the beautiful voice of Ms. Van Dusen, the inspiring words, the obvious partnership, musically, of the organist and soloist, the nice liner notes and photos, and a real spirituality that shines through.... Please convey to her if possible how much I enjoy the CD. C., Seattle, WA Just a note of appreciation to you for your lovely program of beautiful music on your recently released CD. I hope that it sells lots of copies. The music is not only well chosen but sung beautifully. You truly have a gift from God that brings joy to those who hear. L.M., New York Thanks so much for sending the cassette so promptly. I gave it to our Music Chairman - can't wait to hear your beautiful voice in our little church! I love all the selections. Hope to hear you sing in person some day. P.L., Salisbury, NC We have enjoyed the lovely CD of the soloist at First Church, Rochester, so much. She has a beautiful voice. Seattle, WA Thanks for the precious CD of hymns by Allyn Van Dusen. She is great and First Church, Rochester, blessed. E.D., Seattle, WA Your CD is as comforting and healing to the listening ear as it is visually presented with beauty and dignity. The selections are an interesting mix--such a refreshing change.... With your rich mezzo voice, you select settings...most interesting and lovely. Oh, was I ever glad to see you offer one of Robert Collister's new settings. Don't you just treasure them! You have offered us healing in a clean and professional manner. Just lovely in every way. Thank you for this important contribution. L.M., California.
