• Vivaldi: The Four Seasons / Concerto In B Minor | DVD | (13/11/2000) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  This instalment of the Naxos Musical Journey series pairs the scenery of various European locations with Vivaldi's evocative Four Seasons. "Spring" in Austria is a time of flitting birds, grazing sheep, and a flower festival. "Summer" in Germany features hayfields and summer storms. "Autumn" in Italy highlights the grape harvest, fog-engulfed valleys, wildlife, and famous paintings depicting the hunt. "Winter" in Switzerland offers breathtaking views of snow-filled trees, meandering streams and horse-drawn sledges at twilight. In addition, Vivaldi's Concerto in D minor is accompanied by the healing waters, candle-lit churches, and hillside vistas of the spa town of Montecatini Terme in Tuscany. Solo violinist Takako Nishizaki gives an adroit performance with the Capella Istropolitana, and the crystal-clear picture and robust Dolby 5.1 or DTS sound options make for an immensely enjoyable musical and visual experience. --Tami Horiuchi

• Il Giardino Armonico | DVD | (22/08/2000) from £3.31   |  Saving you £17.94 (875.12%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Il Giardino Armonico are one of the more deliberately abrasive groups playing baroque music on original instruments; their performances have a simultaneous toughness and delicacy miles away from the old-fashioned easy-listening approach to Baroque repertoire. These are performances--whether of fairly well-known Vivaldi concertos like "Il Gardellino" for flautino or "La Notte" for flute, or of comparatively obscure pieces like Merula's "Ciaccona a Tre"--that make the viewer sit up and concentrate. The short introductions to each piece are exemplary, telling us enough to intrigue and pay attention without giving us any surplus information. The performances were filmed on location in Sicily, whose ancient monuments and long beaches form a surprisingly effective backdrop to the music. The DVD has a facility for displaying the scores as the pieces are played, as well as subtitles in English, German, French and Dutch. --Roz Kaveney

  Whitney Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 - February 11, 2012) was an American recording artist, actress, producer, and model. In 2009, the Guinness World Records cited her as the most-awarded female act of all time. Her awards include two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, and 22 American Music Awards, among a total of 415 career awards in her lifetime. Houston was also one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 170 million albums, singles and videos worldwide. Houston began singing with her New Jersey church's junior gospel choir at age 11. After she began performing alongside her mother in night clubs in the New York City area, she was discovered by Arista Records label head Clive Davis. Houston released seven studio albums and three movie soundtrack albums, all of which have diamond, multi-platinum, platinum or gold certification.Houston is the only artist to chart seven consecutive No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hits (Saving All My Love for You; How Will I Know; Greatest Love of All; I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me); Didn't We Almost Have It All; So Emotional and Where Do Broken Hearts Go). She is the second artist behind Elton John and the only female artist to have two number-one Billboard 200 Album awards (formerly Top Pop Album) on the Billboard magazine year-end charts (Whitney Houston and The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album). Houston's 1985 debut album Whitney Houston became the best-selling debut album by a female act at the time of its release. The album was named Rolling Stone's best album of 1986, and was ranked at number 254 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Her second studio album Whitney (1987) became the first album by a female artist to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Houston's crossover appeal on the popular music charts as well as her prominence on MTV, starting with her video for How Will I Know, influenced several African-American female artists to follow in her footsteps.Houston's first acting role was as the star of the feature film The Bodyguard (1992). The film's original soundtrack won the 1994 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Its lead single I Will Always Love You, became the best-selling single by a female artist in music history. With the album, Houston became the first act (solo or group, male or female) to sell more than a million copies of an album within a single week period. The album makes her the top female act in the top 10 list of the best-selling albums of all time, at number four. Houston continued to star in movies and contribute to their soundtracks, including the films Waiting to Exhale (1995) and The Preacher's Wife (1996). The Preacher's Wife soundtrack became the best-selling gospel album in history. Three years after the release of her fourth studio album My Love Is Your Love (1998), she renewed her recording contract with Arista Records. She released her fifth studio album Just Whitney in 2002, and the Christmas-themed One Wish: The Holiday Album in 2003. In 2009, Houston released her seventh studio album I Look to You.
