• The Fairy Queen - Purcell | DVD | (25/05/2001) from £20.88   |  Saving you £7.10 (39.69%)   |  RRP £24.99

  David Pountney and Quinny Sacks' production of Henry Purcell's The Fairy Queen caused something of a sensation when it hit the ENO stage in 1995. It has the feel of a decadent 17th-century masque re-invented with late-20th-century energy: half the principals and chorus are in cross-dressing costumes, female characters are played by men (leading to some rather wonderful polymorphous perversity), and everything has an air of mad, hallucinogenic hipness about it. While Robert Israel's wild sets don't appear to their full advantage on the small screen, Dunya Ramicova's costumes look fantastic (the details are simply stunning). The very fine singing is recorded with excellent clarity: while this is obviously a live performance, there are remarkably few moments that go out of microphone range, and the balance with the orchestra is handled very sensitively. The ENO band, under the baton of Nicholas Kok, respond to Purcell's wiry lines and spiky harmonies with glee, and sound like they're having a ball, as do the singers. In particular Jonathan Best as The Drunken Poet is hilarious, and it is a wonderful testament to his acting skills that he is as funny close-up as he was from the auditorium stalls.--Warwick Thompson

• In Dubious Battle | Blu Ray | (28/08/2017) from £12.29   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

• Handel: Ariodante | DVD | (23/06/2000) from £19.61   |  Saving you £8.37 (50.36%)   |  RRP £24.99

  Ariodante makes extraordinary vocal and acting demands, which the English National Opera brilliantly fulfils in a curious combination of baroque music and post-modern production styles. Handel's intensely emotional arias and the surreal staging combine their energies with powerful impact, aided by some imaginative choreography and a remarkable English singing translation of the Italian text. The subject is the painfully complex love entanglements of five characters: pure idealism and raging jealousy, nefarious plots and deceptions, unscrupulous exploitation, and opportunism, hopelessness mounting to the brink of insanity. The plot, as often happens in baroque opera, is riddled with improbabilities, exaggerations, and coincidence, but they matter not at all. It is essentially no more than a framework on which Handel mounts music of tender passion, rage, delirious joy, hope, resignation--nearly three hours of unrestrained emotional intensity and vocal brilliance. Ann Murray and Joan Rodgers are appealing as the young lovers Ariodante and Ginevra, but the show is nearly stolen by countertenor Christopher Robson as the villainous Polinesso, who convinces Ariodante that Ginevra has been unfaithful. Lesley Garrett performs brilliantly as Polinesso's dupe and accomplice, Dalinda, and Ivor Bolton conducts with a fine sense of baroque style. --Joe McLellan, Amazon.com

  Before achieving international pop stardom with his vocal recordings for the Capitol label during the early Fifties the great Nat ""King"" Cole (1917-1965) enjoyed considerable success fronting his own trio in Hollywood and resorting to a repertoire of jazzy/jivey/novelty numbers that made for irresistible listening. Initially backed by guitarist Oscar Moore and bassist Wesley Prince singer-pianist Cole set for a smooth crisp appealing sound that gained him early popularity. Best exemplified in hit tunes such as Route 66 Scotchin' With The Soda Sweet Lorraine or Hit That Jive Jack the peculiar Nat Cole style somewhat came to define the spirit of the war years. A first-class singer and a very talented pianist (inspired by Ear Hines and a big influence on Oscar Peterson) Nat Cole did frequent 'soundies' during this initial period in his career and this DVD is a fascinating collection of those early film shots produced for theatres or television. Backed by sidemen such as guitarists Oscar Moore and Irving Ashby bassists Johnny Miller and Joe Comfort or Latin percussionist Jack ""Mr Bongo"" Costanzo Cole was in peak artistic form in these true musical gems from his early West Coast period. Recommended to old-time fans and jazz enthusiasts alike the music in this anthology sounds as enjoyable as ever.27 tracks including; Mona Lisa / I'm A Shy Guy / Always You / That's My Girl / Too Young / Now He Tells Me
