Poster is nice, but shipping was slow. Took about 2 weeks to receive when I paid for 3-5 day shipping. Not happy considering it was a valentines gift that came too late!

I got these posters which can only be found through this dealer, but the shipping took two weeks. A sales rep contacted me and said he would reimburse me some of the shipping, on the condition that i went and dropped my review but never came through with that. so im writting another review on them. even though they are the only ones i have found to have this poster im still not happy with thier customer service or their handling of shipping.

Beautiful poem and I love the photo too. This was a gift for someone else but now I want one for myself also.

I first encountered this on cassette, quite by accident. It later became the background for my work at morning at the easel painting watercolours. But this is no wallpaper music. The technical genius of matching separate recordings of different trumpet parts is surpassed only by Marsalis's bright and lively technique. The masters would be pleased. As for the watercolours, I can now stand before them and see the music's influence on paper. Well worth the listening...

This cd features a lot of Wynton's earlier piccolo playing, which, while perhaps not as brilliant as you'd hear on his Gabriel's Garden album, is slightly more refined and appropriate to the repertoire. That isn't to say he doesn't embellish; The Fasch concerto has some tastefully inserted ornaments. "Let the Bright Seraphim" is as well played with soprano Edita Gruberova as it is in Wynton's later recording with Kathleen Battle. The Purcell selections on the album are probably the best examples of good piccolo playing I've found, particularly the trills. One only need listen to the "Entrada" to see how delicate and refined the playing on the whole album is.

Marsalis' prodigious talent coupled with the greatest of Baroque brass composers is a combination that cannot be beat! Of course, Anthony Newman takes everything (less the slow stuff, of course) at his characteristic "lively" pace, but Marsalis keeps up. His execution of the ornamentation is awesome! Gotta have this one!

Without doubt, the birthday ode to Queen Anne (Eternal Source of Light Divine) is one of the loveliest pieces ever. Couple that with two of the most accomplished talents in the world, you have a near spiritual moment. Even those with even a passing interest in the classics will find this a stirring expierence. this is true candy for the ear and food for the soul.

Jai is wonderful. Ganesha Shanaram plays in my head all day and I feel happy. Even my granddaughter dances with me when it plays. Very cool.

Beautiful CD and inspiring. Heard it first at a Yoga training and it felt like arriving back at home. For Yoga or just chill, this is a must have!

I'm very new to Kirtan. But I stumbled onto this CD here at Amazon and just fell in love instantly with Jai's soft, tender voice. I don't even understand any of the words or know why they are sung...but I DO know is I felt instantly wrapped in a silky, fluffy cloud of serenity, joy, and sweet mesmerizing serenity. My favorite is Shri Krishna Govinda. It is a soothing lullaby-like song and really transports the listener to a relaxed, blissful state. Especially the last minute of it. Beautiful, mind-expanding album!

It is amazing. Melodious and sung from the heart. Where can I get more of same stuff?PK

Purchased this CD based on a piece about the artist on NPR. Great music selections for yoga practice and massage.

I have many collections of Purcell's Music. This collection stands up to them at half the price. Solid buy.

There is only a word with which I can describe this set of discs: perfect! The only flaw there is, is not related to the singing or playing: no text enclosed.

This is probably one of the best anthologies of Purcell songs around, and not just because it's two-for-one pricing means it contains twice as much music (CD1:74'24" & CD2: 77'41")! Nancy Argenta has an irrepressible sense of style and crystal clear diction. But unlike Emma Kirby, whose vocal purity can become tiresome, these renditions radiate warmth. She is also, I have found, more consistently involving than any one of the singers in Hyperion's three disc survey of Complete Secular Songs (recently reissued as a single set). One marvels at how she judiciously balances restraint and emotional forthrightness. The accompaniments (archlute, viola da gamba, harpsichord, and organ) are well judged and blend with the voice, all helped by an excellently defined recording acoustic. This is an absolute winner at any price!

Two CDs, totaling more than 150 minutes of sparsely-arranged (never more than 3-5 instruments at a time), sweetly-sung, 350 year old 'ayres' (a typically English form of secular music). Nancy Argenta's soprano voice is lovely, silvery indeed as her name implies. The instruments are a discreet but friendly accompaniment to her solo voice. Perhaps the instruments are a little too discreet -- there are times when I wish they were a touch more prominent. But that is a very, very minor complaint. A beautiful collection, and quite well worth the money.

Dudley Nichols based his screenplay on the 1939 story by Agatha Christie. Under George Pollock`s direction we have a story of ten strangers lured to a mountain castle. Actually, two of them are married to each other. The only mode of transportation to the top of the mountain is a cable car. Hanging on a thread takes on new meaning in this film. You have a great cast-Mario Adorf, Shirley Eaton, Fabian, Leo Glenn, Stanley Holloway, Marianne Hoppe, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Daliah Lavi, Hugh O'Brian, and Dennis Price. The interaction between these characters is priceless, especially as the murders begin. All of these characters are hiding something. However, the truth will be revealed. The mysterious Mr. Owen is like a ghost, haunting the conscience and bringing to light the past. An uncredited Christopher Lee was the voice of Mr. Owen. Good choice. The beautiful Kenure House in Rush County, Dublin was a perfect choice for film. It is sad that this marvel of architectural design which lasted for centuries was left to die and eventually be demolished in 1978 for safety reasons. The film transfer was good. This black/white offering has held up well since 1965. It would be well to read the nursery rhyme, Ten Little Indians, before you watch this film. Like any good mystery, the ending is a delight-like a cup of honeyed Rooibos tea. In fact, have a cup as you watch this presentation.

This movie is incredible. I have read the book, and played the video game. I was expecting an okay adaption, because I thought this just couldn't work as a movie. Boy, was I surprised. Before I start telling you why this is my favorite movie, you might be wondering why I chose this over the 1945 version. Here's why: I was viewing Youtube on my Wii, and I came across the 1945 version. I watched the beginning, and didn't like it that much. I then went online to see what the other versions were like, and the 1965 version sounded the best. Back to the review. This movie has a great cast. Here is the list of cast members: Hugh O'Brien as Hugh Lombard Grade:A+ Leo Gen as Mandrake Grade:A- Daliah Lavi as Miss Bergen Grade:A Dennis Price as Armstrong Grade:B Stanley Holloway as Blore Grade:B- Marianne Hoppe as Elsa Groman Grade:A+ Mario Adorf as Joseph Groman Grade:B- Wilfred Hyde White as Judge Cannon Grade:A Shirley Eaton as Anne Clyde Grade:A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ And last, and definitely least, Fabian as Mike Raven Grade:D+ This movie has suspense, action, and a great actress as Anne Clyde. You should definitely buy it. This movie has good picture, but at some times it can become grainy and be speckled with dust. But for a DVD that is 6 dollars, what do you expect?

i received the video of Ten Little Indians in great condition and in record time. it's an interesting mystery with a surprise ending. You will enjoy it.

This is an entertaining adaptation of the Agatha Christie classic. It is advertised to include the "murder moment" that was in the theatrical release - IT DOES NOT! Get it anyway - It is the BEST of the adaptations entitled "Ten Little Indians" The 1945 version entitled "And Then There Were None" is better in some ways, but I liked this one too.

Despite that the seller didn't mention that the DVD case had a cut in it, I was very please with my purchase-the DVD played fine, delivered within stated period & overall- an excellent value!

This film, funded by Ravi Shankar himself, was done in 1969 but released two years later by Apple Films. It has gained a cult following among rock movie fans, but now you can watch this on home video.In this documentary, Ravi talks about his music up to that point, questioning the sudden popularity he gained after George Harrison mentioned him in interviews. He comments that he never expected the kind of response he does get when he travels around the world, but wonders how long it will last. He also wonders if the music listeners truly understand, or are they listening to it as a trend or fad. He is humble enough to question his own importance, but says he would do anything to share his music and his culture with the rest of the world. When he got the opportunity, he jumped at the chance.Ravi himself speaks through voice-overs, laid over footage of him meeting people, performing, or even at a recording session. One of the highlights happens in the beginning, when he is traveling by train back home to meet his guru, the legendary Ustad Allaudin Khan. He said he hasn't seen his guru in years ("he must be fast approaching 100") and is very afraid of what would happen. But as soon as Khan is seen, Shankar bows to his feet and then hugs him. When they are inside, Ravi comments on his his devotion to his guru was often more important than that with God, bordering on a fanatical state. Here's a man who gave up seven years of his life to master the sitar, and now they are singing together like father and son, or teacher and student.Other highlights include seeing him conduct a recording session with an Indian orchestra, teaching classes in India and California, and also talking about what made him want to play music in the first place. He basically says music was always in the air, it was impossible to avoid.It's been 32 years since the release of this film, and there definitely needs to be a proper follow-up. "Raga" is a document of his music and its importance. While there are a few so-called psychedelic scenes in here, this is not a psychedelic film. Director Howard Worth did an excellent job in showing Ravi Shankar as a genuine musician, not as a guy who hippies wanted to worship. If Mystic Fire plans to release this as a DVD, I hope they can digitally remaster this properly, and perhaps include some full performances, maybe even commentary from Ravi himself (and some perspectives from his daughter, Anoushka).The VHS tape is taken from the best print of the movie they could find, and is definitely worth a purchase.

This video is a documentary about Ravi Shankar done in the late 60's. We see him perform with various musicians, teach (George Harrison for ex.) and follow him to India where he meets his old teacher, and we hear his comments on the 60's interest in all things Indian. This is a great video not only for those interested in Indian music and culture but also for those who are interested in the late 60's. (The video even has a typical psychedelic part).I've been a fan of Ravi Shankar for many years so this video was heaven sent, it is great to be able to see the master playing and to hear his thougt on Indian music and culture.I also highly recomend his book, "My music my life" and of course all his great recordings, Ravi is without a doubt one of the great musicians of this century, regardless of style, and I am looking forward to reading his new biograpy Raga Mala.
