• Mozart: Requiem | DVD | (02/12/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Mozart's Requiem makes for another entry in the Naxos label's Musical Journey series, which combines great classics with images appropriate to the composer and work. Here the soundtrack is taken from a Naxos audio CD of the Requiem in its traditional version as completed by Sussmayr (though the DVD doesn't provide this or any other musical information), performed with considerable authority and dramatic weight by the Slovak Philharmonic and Chorus under Zdenek Kosler. The accompanying images begin in the Mozartplatz, Salzburg and encompass suitably bellicose classical paintings, the memorials to the composer and Goethe at the city's Buggarten and on to the Vienna History Museum, the Austrian National Library and the glorious stained glass windows of Linz Cathedral. These artistic treasures are contrasted with the natural glories of the Danube, intensely dramatic images of the sun against a tempestuous sky, and the spectacular Dachstein mountain landscape and glacier, with the breathtaking sight of a cross dominating a mountain almost 10,000 feet high. The scenes are generally well chosen and edited to provide an enjoyable visual tour to accompany one of Mozart's greatest masterpieces. On the DVD: Mozart's Requiem on disc boasts an "E-Z Menu" promising "the most accessible navigation", which is ironic given this is an extremely frustrating and counter-intuitive menu and appears to have been thrown together by a 1980's database designer who has never seen a DVD before. The 4:3 picture is very good, and the sound is equally fine, with the DTS mix having a little more weight and definition than the Dolby Digital 5.1 version. The stereo original is likewise impressive. Unfortunately the ends of several tracks are not allowed to fade out naturally, but are jarringly and abruptly cut off. This is most noticeable at the end of the "Benedictus", and completely ruins the end of the final "Lux Aeterna". The travel notes are useful, but would be more so if they could be superimposed over the programme. To turn the subtitles on one must deselect them. The disc also contains eight trailers. --Gary S Dalkin

• World War Ii Documentary -Uxb-Unexploded Bombs On The | DVD | (26/07/2010) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £11.99

  A collection of three original wartime instructional films about the hazards faced - and the methods employed - in the identification reporting and defusing of a whole range of German unexploded bombs in a variety of challenging locations on the British Home Front. The stakes were high - civilians feared for their lives and their homes and one false move by the bomb disposal men could result in instant death and widespread destruction. Titles Comprise: UXB (1941 58 minutes): An investigation into the complexities of the tasks facing ARP wardens and wartime bomb disposal squads in their reconnaissance reporting prioritising and categorising of home front UXB incidents. How they look for traces of blast and examine the bomb's crater to discern whether it is a UXB scenario. We see the variety of German bombs extant in 1941 and how to identify them by the parts that might be found at a bomb site - tail fins tail drums cones kopf rings carrying bands and lugs. The further complications of the variety of fuses - impact instant delay action booby trap anti-handling - are also investigated in the context of defusing them with due regard to the civilian populations of the cities of wartime Britain. Techniques Of Bomb Disposal (1942 108 minutes): A previously unrelased feature length dramatised documentary in which a bomb disposal squad headed by Mr Ambrose tackle a number of UXB scenarios in differing London locations - a 1000Kg bomb in Victoria Park a 50Kg bomb in Richmond Park and a very delicate operation defusing a bomb lodged near the foundations of a factory crucial to the war effort. The intricacies of shaft and trench construction are shown and there's a fascinating look at the tools of fuse neutralisation by means of the 'clockstopper' - a heavy duty electromagnet and the 'steriliser' - a steam generator that melts out the main charge. Butterfly Bomb (1944 2 minutes): A recognition film about the anti-personnel 'butterfly bomb' explaining how to idenitfy them with or without their wings and the procedures to follow on discovering them including the sandbagging technique.
