FREE CD - PAVAROTTI
An inspirational collection of 20 of his greatest perfomances
He was the greatest tenor of all time, a colossus who bestowed his fabulous gifts on an audience of millions.
This month Luciano Pavarotti tragically died - but he leaves behind a sensational collection of opera which is unlikely ever to be equalled.
Every CD collection should include his wonderful music- and now you can get the perfect Pavarotti album absolutely free. Inside next week's Mail On Sunday you will find a free copy of Pavarotti-the legend.
This incredible CD features twenty of Pavarotti's most electrifying performances, from the moving O Sole Mio to the rousing La Donna e Mobile to the glorious Una Furtiva Lacrima. And of course there is a superb rendition of Pavarotti's best known Aria, Nessun Dorma, made famous as the theme of the 1990 World Cup.
1 Nessun Dorma from Turandot by Puccini
2 O Sole Mio by Capurro and di Capua
3 La Donna E Mobile from Rigoletto by Verdi
4 Questa O Quella from Rigoletto by Verdi
5 Libiamo, Libiamo from La Traviata by Verdi
6 Quanta E Bella from L'Elisir D'Amore by Donizetti
7 Che Gelida Manina from La Boheme by Puccini
8 Il Padre Adorato from Idomeneo by Mozart
9 Ella Mi Fu Rapita! from Rigoletto by Verdi
10 A Te, O Cara from I Puritani by Bellini
11 O Soave Fanciulla from La Boheme by Puccini
12 Tombe Degl'avi Miei from Lucia Di Lammermoor by Donizetti

Stop Making Sense Talking Heads DVD IMHO One of the best music DVD's of all time free in next Sundays Observer
Hopefully its the full version and following Prince coming today two absolute classic music DVD's in a row :j :j :j :j :j :j
http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0088178/
Over the course of three nights at Hollywood's Pantages Theatre in December 1983, filmmaker Jonathan Demme joined creative forces with cinematographer Jordan Cronenweth and Talking Heads ... and miracles occurred. Following a staging concept by singer-guitarist David Byrne, this euphoric concert film transcends that all-too-limited genre to become the greatest film of its kind. A guaranteed cure for anyone's blues, it's a celebration of music that never grows old, fuelled by the polyrhythmic pop-funk precision that was a Talking Heads trademark, and lit from within by the geeky supernova that is David Byrne.
The staging--and Demme's filming of it--builds toward an orgasmic release of music, rising from the bare-stage simplicity of Byrne, accompanied only by a boom box on "Psycho Killer" to the ecstatic crescendo of "Burning Down the House", by which time the Heads and additional personnel have all arrived on stage for a performance that seems channelled from heaven for the purpose of universal uplift. (God bless Demme for avoiding shots of the luckiest audience in 80s pop history; its presence is acknowledged but not at the viewer's expense.) With the deliriously eccentric Byrne as ringleader (pausing mid-concert to emerge in his now-legendary oversized suit), this circus of musical pleasure defies the futility of reductive description; it begs to be experienced, felt in the heart, head and bones, and held there the way we hold on to cherished memories. On those three nights in December 1983, Talking Heads gave love, life, and joy in generous amounts that years cannot erode, and Demme captured this act of creative goodwill on film with minimalist artistic perfection. Stop Making Sense is an invitation to pleasure that will never wear out its welcome. --Jeff Shannon0 -

Anyone confirm where it is available ?

Only available with the Scottish Sun - and looking at the artwork I wouldn't count on it becoming available south of the border. :mad:0 -

Another Gripe-they sometimes give away the DVDs on weekends, but the you have to "Collect from Tesco, or whatever. ok if you live near Tesco, but no good if you dont!0 -
** To everyone south of the border looking for the Rebus DVDs **
If you telephone the Sun's head office and ask for their customer services department, they might send you a set. Just tell them you are a massive fan of the programme and would really, really like a set. They are normally quite good at fulfilling requests.
I live up in Scotland and when the Sun gave away the 1966 World Cup Final a few years back (only available in England) I phoned up and requested a copy. The woman said no problem and popped one in the post.
On another occasion I missed one of the Sun's CD's and phoned up again. Not only did they send me the one I missed but also another 3 or 4 that had been given away previously. Must have been some spare copies left over.
Try these numbers and see how you get on:
The Sun & News of the World (London head office)
020 7782 6000
The Sun & News of the World (Glasgow office)
0141 420 5100
Might be best to try the Glasgow office first and ask for their Customer Services/Media relations department. They should hopefully sort you out with a set.0
