• Carmen - Bizet | DVD | (27/02/2006) from £4.95   |  Saving you £10.04 (202.83%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Carmen is a timeless tragedy never more relevant than today. It is a tale of desire seduction jealousy and betrayal. And in this Ted Brandsen's minimalist production the devastating finale is heightened by the complete lack of artifice. Rodion Shchedrin's fluid and muscular musical adaptation fits this raw and original performance by the West Australian Ballet like Carmen's red dress - tight revealing and like the production impossible to ignore.

• Ben Folds & West Australian Symphony Orchestra Live in Perth | DVD | (14/04/2007) from £7.87   |  Saving you £4.12 (34.40%)   |  RRP £11.99

  Recorded in March 2005 in an outdoor venue in Perth Australia this 80-minute concert finds the singer-songwriter-pianist in the company of conductor Simon Kenway and the West Australian Symphony Orchestra. Favouring material from his Rockin' the Suburbs Whatever and Ever Amen CDs Folds used local musicians for most of the arrangements with the result that the orchestra enhances the songs rather than merely augmenting them. By the time you get to ""Narcolepsy "" the twelfth of the 14 songs performed here and one that features a co-vocal by operatic tenor Stuart Haycock you can't help but be won over by this thoroughly charming show!
