Book: Anne Frank - The Diary of A Young Girl Born in 1929, Anne Frank received a blank diary on her 13th birthday, just weeks before she and her family went into hiding in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. Her entries chronicle 25 months living quietly above a warehouse to avoid capture. Eventually found out by the Germans, the family was separated and taken to a prison camp where she died. Rating: |
Book: Vincent van Gogh Modern-art historian Meyer Schapiro's account of van Gogh is not only a synopsis of his artistic career and personal travails, but also an insightful analysis of van Gogh's technique and handling of paint, and how they manipulate the viewer's emotional response to his paintings. With a sympathetic yet penetrating essay by Schapiro, this book is a pleasure to read for van Gogh enthusiasts of any level. Rating: |
DVD: Live In Amsterdam - Wildest Dreams Tour Wildest Dreams Tour makes a viewer feel practically omnipresent at Tina Turner's 1996, three-night stand in the Amsterdam Arena. With camera angles seemingly coming from everywhere, the massive scope of Turner's show is put into a proper, and enjoyable, visual context, along with the star's own artful way of reaching 50,000 fans at a shot with fierce energy but an unmistakably nuanced performance.

Book: Get Lost. The Cool Guide To Amsterdam Joe Pauker, who refers to himself as "a goof," has compiled what is perhaps the funniest, most original guide available to the city of Amsterdam. Get Lost! The Cool Guide to Amsterdam, which is clearly not aimed at mainstream travelers, will take you to the places that standard guidebooks don't bother to cover (at least not in any detail): sex shows, hemp and 'shroom shops, and places to get free samples of cheese when you're low on cash.

DVD Rossini: The Barber of Seville In an audio recording, the distinctive quality of this Netherlands Opera production would go unnoticed, and a lot of people might like it better without pictures. The singing is first-class, and conductor Alberto Zedda is an expert in the music of Rossini. But video brings out the fact that, for better or for worse, this Barber of Seville differs radically from other treatments of Rossini's comic masterpiece. Rating: |

CD- 25 Disc Set: The Best of the Complete Mozart Edition (Box Set) The entire Complete Mozart Edition would cost over $2000, and may be a bit too much for even the most enthusiastic fans of Mozart.

All of these pieces are performed by some of the greatest musicians in the world, such as Grumiaux, Brendel, and Holliger.
