Egypt captivates us like few other ancient civilizations but what was it like to actually live there as an ordinary person, 3500 years ago? Egyptologist Dr Joann Fletcher goes on a fascinating journey in search of people like us not the great Pharaohs but the ordinary people who built and populated this incredible place, creating a remarkable way of life and an extraordinary way of death. Joann explores their homes, workplaces and temples and she climbs down into their tombs to discover the remarkable world of these Ancient Egyptians, both in life and the afterlife.

Singer and pianist Michael Feinstein collaborates with legendary composer/conductor/pianist André Previn for an album celebrating Previn's catalog of pop songs. Released on Telarc International, Change of Heart: The Songs of André Previn continues Feinstein's series of recordings that pay tribute to legendary composers and the Great American Songbook; in this case, the melodies are by Previn and the lyrics are by Marilyn & Alan Bergman, Alan Jay Lerner, and Johnny Mercer. The duo plays arrangements of Previn's tunes "Yes," "It's Good to Have You Near Again," "Little Lost Dream," "A Second Chance" (from Two for the Seesaw), "Why Are We Afraid?" (from The Subterraneans), and "You're Gonna Hear from Me" (from Inside Daisy Clover). Also included is an unreleased composition, "The Easy Way," written for the film Valley of the Dolls but not featured in the soundtrack. "Empty Is My Room" and "Goodbye" were written for the film adaptation of Goodbye Mr. Chips, but early in the process Previn was replaced by Leslie Bricusse and John Williams. ~ AllMusic Review by Al Campbell
