• BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION LIVE OVER EUROPE | DVD | (24/10/2011) from £10.98   |  Saving you £12.00 (150.19%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Black Country Communion, the English-American rock group featuring the talents of bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Trapeze,), blues rock guitarist/vocalist Joe Bonamassa, drummer Jason Bonham (Led Zeppelin), and keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater), will release their much-anticipated concert DVD and Blu Ray Live Over Europe on October 24, 2011. The performances were filmed with 14 HD cameras during the summer of 2011 in the German cities of Hamburg, Munich and Berlin. Producer Kevin Shirley explains, we saw that this live act could be an awesome force of nature to behold; that promised legendary performances like those of our heroes of Classic Rock (and I have seen some of my all time favourite performances at a Black Country Communion gig because they are that good). The plan was to get them out there, for the world to hear. Records allow a certain musical finesse, but live performance promises so much in the very transient nature of a gig - chances are taken, boundaries are crossed - and the most exciting performances explode. Two studio albums would build a repertoire big enough for a full concert and then we could unleash the monster for all the world to see and feel... so here it is! Disc 1:1.

• Viking Sagas | DVD | (14/10/2013) from £4.20   |  Saving you £11.79 (280.71%)   |  RRP £15.99

  'Every country has its treasure trove of beloved tales but one nation has an unrivalled passion for storytelling. For ten centuries Icelanders have been enthralled by a series of homespun stories. They are some of the most wonderful tales ever told. How they came to be written is one of the greatest mysteries of the Dark Ages. A thousand years ago at the edge of the Arctic Circle there was an explosion of creativity which remains pretty much unparalleled in history. When the Vikings settled in Iceland one of the first things they did strangely was to settle down and begin telling each other tales. These Sagas as they're known are some of the greatest stories every told captivating audiences ten centuries ago and are still entertaining millions of people today'. Dr Janina Ramirez discovers these sagas are not just great works of art they are also priceless historical documents which bring to life the Viking world. Dr Ramirez travels across glaciers and through the lava fields of Iceland to the far north west of the country to find out about one of the most compelling of these stories - the Laxdaela Saga.

• Bach - Swing, Sing and Think (Fray) | DVD | (10/11/2008) from £5.78   |  Saving you £9.20 (329.75%)   |  RRP £11.99

  This absorbing 95-minute documentary about the young French pianist David Fray is directed by Bruno Monsaingeon the distinguished filmmaker whose previous collaborations with Virgin Classics include DVDs with Piotr Anderszewski and Valery Sokolov and whose past subjects have included David Oistrakh Sviatoslav Richter Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau Yehudi Menuhin and Glenn Gould. This DVD complements Fray''s second CD release on Virgin Classics a collection of Bach concertos and it includes Live footage from the audio recording sessions of the concertos BWV 1055 1056 et 1058 (the CD also includes BWV 1052 in D minor). Issues discussed on screen with Fray an artist of formidable intellectual energy include his relationship with the music of Bach and his views on directing an orchestra - here the Bremen-based Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie - from the keyboard The Austro-German repertoire is of great importance to the pianist whose personal heritage includes Czech Polish Spanish French Finnish and Jewish strands. He has said that: ''If over my life I can play all the works of Bach Mozart Schubert Haydn Brahms and Schumann then I shall be very happy!'' but describes Bach as ''a pinnacle; both a beginning and an end''. 2008 has been an important year for Fray bringing his New York debut and his marriage (in July) to the Italian actress Chiara Muti daughter of conductor Riccardo Muti. His first CD release on Virgin Classics a thought-provoking juxtaposition of Bach and Boulez came in may 2007 and in April 2008 it brought him the Best Newcomer Award from BBC Music Magazine. The recital also prompted Gramophone to speak of his: ''unselfregarding mastery and musical maturity and the ''intimate poetic spell'' cast by his Bach with its ''gorgeous tone and ravishingly shaded trills.'' The New York Times found it a ''superbly played and thoughtful program '' In both Bach and Boulez Mr. Fray displays an articulate touch splendid command of shadings and nimble finger work. The youthful freshness of the performances is especially appealing. Mr. Fray is not intimidated by either giant ... He brings a fluid sense of rhythm and much sparkle to Bach's D major Partita '' [the] account of Bach's D minor French Suite is also captivating '' while the ''playful crystalline and wondrously delicate account'' of Boulez''s 12 Notations'' was summarised as ''breathtaking''.

  The Story Of D-Day. June 6th 1944, D-Day, codenamed 'Operation Overlord' was the culmination of nearly two years of planning. It was the largest invasion force ever assembled.

• Argentina V West Germany 1986 - the World Cup Final in Mexico | DVD | (18/07/2011) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Mexico became the first country to stage the FIFA World Cup finals for a second time when football's greatest show returned to the site of Brazil's 1970 triumph, but this time it was Argentina who shrugged off the heat and high altitude to emerge victorious, inspired by their captain Diego Maradona who dominated the tournament in a way that arguably only Pele had done before.The statistics tell that Argentina's celebrated No10 scored five and created another five of his team's 14 goals en route to a 3-2 Final victory over West Germany, runners-up for the second successive tournament. Yet that was only half the story. The majesty of one of Maradona's strikes and the notoriety of another seemed to capture the essence of a man described as half-angel, half-devil.Maradona scored another goal to remember in Argentina's victory over Belgium in the semi-final but Argentina's captain found it less easy in the final, shadowed as he was by Lothar Matthaus. One of the unsung heroes of Carlos Bilardo's team opened the scoring, Jose Luis Brown, a central defender in search of a club side. Jorge Valdano doubled the lead but the Germans fought back, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Rudi Voller both striking in a six-minute spell.Not even Matthaus could keep Maradona quiet for 90 minutes, though, and parity lasted just three minutes. Maradona sent Jorge Burruchaga running clear in the 83rd minute and Argentina had their third goal and, with it, a second world crown.
