Beyblade is an animé tie-in to the high-tech spinning top toys. It has some of the standard faults of the cheaper Japanese animations--such as static backgrounds and overly perky facial design--but it makes inventive use of the idea that the competitions of the Beybladers are the outward manifestation of more occult conflicts in another realm. Young Tyson is a keen and inventive Beyblader--in the first episode, he works out a way of quadrupling the speed and force of his top--but it helps that his Beyblade is inhabited by the spirit of an ancestral dragon. Thus equipped, he moves through one round after another of an international competition, sometimes in alliance with the haughty Kai and his gang and sometimes opposing them, and always helped by Kenny and Dizzi, the spirit beast that inhabits Kenny's laptop. How much of this you want to watch will ultimately depend on how many duels between spinning tops you are going to be interested in, but the byplay between physical and spirit realms, and the conflict of characters is moderately interesting as well. --Roz Kaveney

George Frideric Handel (1685 - 1759)David Daniels' Rinaldo is surely the equal of his illustrious 18th-century predecessors. His countertenor is one of the most accomplished voices I have heard...As Armida Noemi Nadelmann's voices started where her legs ended and she threw coloratura at us as though it was going out of fashion (astride her pet Hydra being a particularly fabulous show-stopper).David Walker as Goffredo is no vocal slouch either; his voice is brighter edged than Daniels' and almost as fluent.Harry Bicket led from the harpsichord and conjured his own miracles from the pit. He looked quite4 overwhelmed at the screams of approval that met everybody at curtain call. (Opera Now)
