• Helene Grimaud - Living With Wolves | DVD | (24/11/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £8.99

  The playing of the young pianist H''l''ne Grimaud has been described as ''fire and ice passion and reason all in one'' (Le Monde de la Musique); ''coiled energy eventuating in unbridled excitement'' (NewYork Times);''superlative technique.. .she unfailingly delivers original inflected conceptions of the music'' (Financial Times). But she is not only an extraordinary pianist she is also an extraordinary woman consumed by two loves in life -music and wolves. With her partner photographer J. Henry Fair she has founded a Wolf Conservation Centre at her home in South Salem New York. Grimaud came to music because it was the last resort of her parents university professors in the South of France. ''I was so easily bored. I was a distraction in the classroom. They tried martial arts they tried sports. Then someone suggested music.'' Music cured her boredom and her facility for playing the piano proved to be astonishing. By the age of thirteen she was accepted by a unanimous vote into the Paris Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique. In 1985 she was awarded first prize in Jacques Rouvier''s class and was invited to participate in masterclasses given by Gyorgy Sander Leon Fleisher and Jorge Bolet who said of her ''It has been a long time a very long time since I have met a natural talent of such quality and musical sensibility.'' Her concert career took off in 1987 and now she performs with major orchestras around the world as well as being in demand for recital appearances. In February 2000 she was named 'Soloist of the Year'' by 'Les Victoires de la musique''. Still in her early thirties she is arguably one of the very top pianists of her generation. To be spontaneous not to be afiaid of taking risks and always to play as though it is the first time is Helene Grimaud''s maxim. This encounter with Grimaud captures the essence of a musician and woman who is full of surprises. Refi-eshingly open and engaging she gives an insight into her life and her music and is seen at work in Europe performing rehearsing and recording. At home in upstate New York her passion for wolves and her concern to educate people about these top predators is evident as she introduces her charges. There are extensive performance extracts featuring Helene Grimaud as a concert soloist a chamber musician and in recital playing music by Rachmaninov Bach/Busoni Beethoven Brahms and Schumann. Musical Extracts: Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No.2 Rachmaninov: Corelli Variations Bach/Busoni: Chaconne in D minor Rachmaninov: Etude tableau No.1 in F minor Beethoven: Piano Sonata No.31 in A flat Schumann: Piano Quintet Brahms: Piano Concerto No.1 Gershwin: Piano Concerto Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.4 Brahms: Violin Sonata No.3

• Wildest Africa | DVD | (22/02/2010) from £13.48   |  Saving you £-3.49 (-34.90%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Their daily ritual is aimed at just one result: survival. At the start of the 20th century the major species roamed most of Africa with the exception of the Sahara and the jungles. One hundred years on their territory has contracted dramatically. It's in this context - the daily law of the jungle - fight for survival for individual creatures and the new fight for survival for entire species - that this documentary documents the majesty of Africa's superb wildlife. The programme begins with a spectacle of awesome proportions the annual migration of the wildebeest showing the attacks it comes under from crocodiles and lions. The daily ritual of lions is documented from mating and hunting to attacks they come under from baboons. We follow a group of baby elephants frolicking in the waters of Botswana's Okavango Delta and speaking a complex language with which they can communicate over great distances. Other animals featured include: a graceful and agile leopard with superb shots of drinking hunting and eating; two black jackals and their meal under attack from hyenas; the aggressive hippopotamus; the cape buffalo the rare aardwolf and serval cat; and the cheetah surging up to 112 kilometres an hour to kill a Thomson's Gazelle. The documentary concludes on a positive note with a captive breeding programme for cheetahs showing tactics that can save still more of Africa's superb creatures from disappearing forever. Greg Grainger is an award-winning producer and presenter of topical travel documentaries and wildlife programmes to remote and exotic locations. Greg's programmes are seen around the world from Grainger's World screened daily on Europe's Travel Channel to Tour Deluxe on the USA Travel Channel as well as Channel 7 Australia's The World Around Us.
