Tchaikovsky Adrian The Doors of Eden
They thought we were safe. They were wrong. Lee and Mal went looking for monsters on Bodmin Moor four years ago, and only Lee came back. She thought she'd lost Mal forever, now miraculously returned. But what happened that day on the moors? And where has Mal been all this time? Mal's reappearance hasn't gone unnoticed by MI5 either, and their officers also have questions. Julian Sabreur is investigating an attack on top physicist Kay Amal Khan. This leads Julian to clash with agents of an unknown power - and they may or may not be human. His only clue is grainy footage, showing a woman who supposedly died on Bodmin Moor. Dr Khan's research was theoretical; then she found cracks between our world and parallel Earths. Now these cracks are widening, revealing extraordinary creatures. And as the doors come crashing open, anything could come through. 'Inventive, funny and engrossing, this book lingers long after you close it' - Tade Thompson, Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author of Rosewater Adrian Tchaikovsky brought us far-future adventure with Children of Time. Now The Doors of Eden takes us from Bodmin Moor to London and alternate versions of earth. This is an extraordinary feat of the imagination and a page-turning adventure.

Tchaikovsky: Sleeping Beauty, Op. 66. André
Балет Спящая красавица.I really did have to do a double-take when I saw the original recording date of 1974 for this classic set. Can it truly be more than 35 years since it was recorded? At the time the listing of Previn and the LSO on the front of any disc was pretty much the equivalent of a quality assurance mark. Add to that the dream production team of the Christophers – Parker and Bishop, some great recording venues – Abbey Road or the Kingsway Hall and it is not hard to see why these performances have maintained their positions in the catalogues for so many years. At the risk of going all dewy-eyed and nostalgic I have to say that their recorded legacy is as fine artistically and technically as any I can think of at this time. We now benefit from these performances at bargain price but I do have to question quite why EMI feel the necessity to repackage and re-release them again. I am also curious to know why in the repackaging they have chosen to omit the definite article.Список музыкальных треков:CD 1 Tchaikovsky: The Sleeping Beauty, Op.66 - IntroductionTchaikovsky: The Sleeping Beauty, Op.66 - Prologue - 1.
