Ok, but not what I was hoping for

What did you like best about Arts and Letters? What did you like least?

The idea about righting by starting: I remember....

Would you recommend Arts and Letters to your friends? Why or why not?

No. I really only bought it for the sections on artists, which are very short and don't provide the sort of insight I was hoping for

Could you see Arts and Letters being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No

Title: C.S. Lewis (Second Edition)

Author: John C. Davenport

Narrator: Julie Williams

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-11-11

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians

Publisher's Summary:

Learn about one of the most popular novelists of the 20th century in this well written, informative introduction.

Perhaps best known for his seven-book children's series The Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis also wrote extensively on religious topics concerning Christianity. Born to religious parents in Ireland, Lewis lost his faith as a young man but rediscovered it later in life through conversations with his friend and fellow author J.R.R. Tolkien. Lewis incorporated the central Christian virtues of fortitude, honesty, and faith into much of his work, including the Narnia books and The Screwtape Letters. His masterful ability to connect with audiences young and old continues to draw new readers and listeners, rightfully making C.S. Lewis one of modern literature's great names.

This revised edition of C.S. Lewis delves into this thoughtful man's life, his well-known works, and his writings' influence on other writers. The book is published by Chelsea House Publishers, a leading publisher of educational material.

Publisher: Hachette Audio UK

Publisher's Summary:

Sir Cliff Richard OBE is the biggest-selling artist of all time, selling over 250 million records around the world since he burst onto the music scene in 1958. But how has he kept his appeal all these years? In a world fuelled by drink, sex and drugs, he is perennially attractive without any of those things that keep other singers' profiles high.

Now, working with the highly acclaimed biographer and journalist, Penny Junor, Cliff is going to talk freely and frankly about what it is like to be Cliff. Inspirational, hugely talented, a much-loved household name, his story is extraordinary.

Members Reviews:

Misplaced nostalgia

Cliff had a certain retro appeal in his old movies and teenage looks, but this is just the speech making of an older guy with tired attitude.

Title: The Life and Works of Liszt

Author: Jeremy Siepmann

Narrator: Jeremy Siepmann, Neville Jason

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-21-11

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians

Publisher's Summary:

We celebrate the bi-centenary of Franz Liszts birth in 2011. His life was as daring and spectacular as his music. Famed throughout Europe as the greatest pianist of the 19th century, Liszt was one of the most original and prophetic composers who ever lived. Beautiful in youth, glowering in age, his high-profile love affairs were the talk of the town wherever he went and his generosity to young musicians was legendary. In this account of his epic life, actors readings combine with plentiful musical excerpts to paint a living portrait of a highly complex man.

Editorial Reviews:

The life, music, and career of Franz Liszt were equally unconventional and groundbreaking for his time. Siepmann's concise biography defines Liszt's glamour and mystique, and the accompanying musical selections highlight what was so distinctive and revolutionary in the great composer/pianist's work. The text, narrated by Siepmann, with Neville Jason narrating as Liszt, is well paced and illuminating. Additional voices render contemporary letters and journals. The center of this production is the musical selections, which pick up their cue from the text and expand our understanding and appreciation of the music for its own sake and for the tumultuous life that produced it - and for life itself, in all its beauty, tumult, and mystery.

Members Reviews:

Siepmann Turns his Attention to Liszt

Siepemann is amazing in bringing these composers to life. His presentation style, his vocal delivery, and his script (which he writes himself, by the way) are simply first rate. The narration is accompanied by intejected pieces by the composer to illustrate a certain point in the composer's life, and so we can contextulaize a little better when these key pieces were written, and what was going on at that specific portion of the composer's life when the piece was written. This recording on Liszt is shorter than the others Siepmann has made, being only two disks instead of the normal four, but it is nonetheless fascinating. These are not recordings made to the level that is done with, say, The Teaching Company, which dedicates ten to thirty hours on a single composer or musical topic, but they are first rate for introducing a composer, some of his major works, and getting someone interested for the first time. Actually, even as someone who has listened to classical music for many years, I've learned quite a number of new things listening to the Siepmann recordings, and I can't recommend them more highly. These are easy five star products, and yes, I know they are a little pricey, but what you get out of them is truly enjoyable, entertaining, and educational. Recommended for both the beginner and the more seasoned listener!

P.S. My Sipemann, why no "Life and Works" of Handel? I would just love to have you do that, but it seems my dear Mr. Handel always gets "short shrift" by the musical community. I'm not really criticizing here, but just asking, please do one on Handel! How wonderful that would be!
