  On april 8th 1994 Kurt Cobain the lead singer of nirvana was found dead in his seattle home of an apparent shotgun wound to the head and with three times the lethal amount of heroin in his system. A note lay at the scene. The verdict was suicide. Others are sceptical. After ten years his death still remains debated. Nirvana redefined the sound of the 90s and the band's front man Kurt Cobain remains the only true Musical icon of the post-punk era. However the band's huge international success only heightened Cobains heroin addiction and depression and when he committed suicide in 1994 a generation had lost its hero. 'Kurt Cobain - All Apologies' is a fascinating and highly emotional tribute to the man and his music from those who were inspired by his extraordinary genius. It also charts his tragic downward spiral and increasing isolation which not even his marriage to Courtney Love or the birth of his daughter Frances Brean could stop.

It also analyses Nirvana's contribution to the annals of rock history from the early days of Bleach to the multi-million selling album Nevermind and beyond. In a series of exclusive interviews Nirvana members Cobain's family and media pundits comment on his life and values revealing the inspiration behind his music and how fame affected him both personally and artistically.

• Nabucco - Verdi | DVD | (30/01/2006) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £24.99

• Maria Callas: Life and Art | DVD | (26/10/1999) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.38

  Long before the media's obsession with celebrity scaled its current heights, Maria Callas commanded headlines and column inches equal to any of the jet-setting elite of her time. In those terms alone, and much as opera purists might flinch at the idea, she was the Madonna of her day. But that is only one reason why her legend extends well beyond her place in the pantheon of great sopranos and so long after her death in 1977. An excellent companion to Tony Palmer's 1987 documentary La Divina, this documentary provides a well-rounded picture of an extraordinary talent who defended her art with the courage of a tigress, but whose turbulent private life gave her little except restless grief. It is crammed with concert footage and archive interviews. She was, as one of the contributors Franco Zeffirelli says, a genius of hair-raising stature and one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. But she was also a rather fragile human being. The tension between the two makes the telling of her story utterly compelling. The DVD includes chronologies of Callas' life and the many roles she played during her career. --Piers Ford
