A wicked curse, a fairy’s blessing and the triumph of love: The Sleeping Beauty is one of the best-loved of all stories. In this sparkling new album from The Australian Ballet and ABC Classics, favourite moments from Tchaikovsky’s sumptuous score are woven together by narration from peerless Australian actor David Wenham (The Lord of the Rings, Van Helsing). The perfect Christmas gift for lovers – both young and old – of ballet, beautiful music and classic tales.

One of the most spectacular heroes of the Old Testament is Joshua, the successor to Moses, who caused the walls of Jericho to tumble down with that city's famous trombones. The Israelites' army conquered the promised land of Canaan under his leadership. This biblical story supplies the background to Handel's oratorio 'Joshua', premiered in 1748; it was supplemented by a love story involving the young captain, Othniel and Achsah, the daughter of an elder, by the presumed librettist, Thomas Morell. Thus the composer was able to include the entire spectrum of his musical expressivity: the magnificence of tympani and trumpets, joyful and jubilant choruses, virtuoso arias and moving love duets.

Edsel Records is delighted to present this box set spanning the entire career of Jim Croce and featuring all the studio recorded albums as well as a bonus disc of demo recordings. Singer-songwriter Jim Croce’s untimely death in an aeroplane crash (in September 1973, aged just 30) came at a point in his career when he seemed set for a lengthy and rewarding career. This box is the first time all the studio albums have ever been brought together in a single package, from the self-released debut ‘Facets’, recorded and released for just $500 – a wedding gift from Jim’s parents – to ‘I Got A Name’ which was released posthumously after his death whilst on tour promoting the previous album.

How good was Rod Stewart really? The truth is….very good indeed. In his earlier days, he had a grittier and less polished style that suited so many different types of musical genres. He was equally comfortable singing country rock, ballads or out and out rockers…
