  British Legends: The Life and Legacy of Audrey Hepburn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 74min

  One might guess this is Miss Hepburn's picture, since she has the title role and has come to it trailing her triumphs from last year's Roman Holiday. And, indeed, she is wonderful in it - a young lady of extraordinary range of sensitive and moving expressions within such a frail and slender frame. She is even more luminous as the daughter and pet of the servants' hall than she was as a princess last year, and no more than that can be said. (Bosley Crowther, movie critic for The New York Times, 1954) A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' British Legends series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of Britain's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. For someone whose career ended over 30 years ago, Audrey Hepburn continues to retain her popularity and exert a strong influence over how people view beauty and sophistication. She remains an American icon despite the fact that she did not even move to the United States until 1953 (at the age of 24) and spent the majority of her life living in Europe. Her characters in films such as Roman Holiday (1953) and Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) are still held up as the paragon of delicate femininity and elegance. After undergoing a revival in popularity throughout the 1990s, her renewed popularity has refused to wane, and even though she acted in just 25 films, Hepburn is viewed in high regard by the entertainment establishment. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Deborah Fennelly. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/035438/bk_acx0_035438_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  In Place of Fear (eBook, ePUB)

  'Authentic social history at the birth of the NHS, an intriguing murder, a strong and convincing central character, and McPherson's wonderful story-telling skills make this a very classy mystery' ANN CLEEVESHelen leaned close enough to fog the mirror with her breath and whispered, 'You, my girl, are a qualified medical almoner and at eight o'clock tomorrow morning you will be on the front line of the National Health Service of Scotland.' Her eyes looked huge and scared. 'So take a shake to yourself!'' Edinburgh, 1948. Helen Crowther leaves a crowded tenement home for her very own office in a doctor's surgery. Upstart, ungrateful, out of your depth - the words of disapproval come at her from everywhere but she's determined to take her chance and play her part. She's barely begun when she stumbles over a murder and learns that, in this most respectable of cities, no one will fight for justice at the risk of scandal. As Helen resolves to find a killer, she's propelled into a darker world than she knew existed, hardscrabble as her own can be. Disapproval is the least of her worries now. IN PLACE OF FEAR is a gripping new historical crime novel that is both enthralling and entertaining, and perfect for fans of AJ Pearce and Nicola Upson.Readers love IN PLACE OF FEAR:'What a wonderful book this is!''I loved [it] ... Helen is another cracker of a heroine from McPherson and I hope to read much more of her story in future' 'Historical crime from a talented pen. Intriguing and compelling in equal measure''An excellent read'

  Red Skelton Whistling Collection

  The screen needs smooth comics like this one, The New York Times' Bosley Crowther wrote about Red Skelton's starring debut in Whistling in the Dark [Disc 1]. What was true then is true today when Red unleashes live-wire goofiness as the Fox, a radio sleuth kidnapped by crooks wanting him to devise a perfect murder. The result? Perfect chaos! Whistling in Dixie [Disc 2] plunges Red (and Whistling trilogy co-stars Ann Rutherford and Rags Ragland) into a magnolias-and-mayhem mystery about Confederate treasure. In Whistling in Brooklyn [Disc 3], the Fox is on the lam as Suspect #1 in a murder. His path leads him to baseball's Ebbets Field, where he takes the mound. The Fox doesn't just throw screwballs, he is one!

  Lament & Restoration

  What 9/11 Family Members and Others Have Said about "Lament and Restoration" 'I have a hard time with certain music because it brings a lot of tears, but this was wonderful. I can hear (Ron Wasserman's) message of shock, anger, sadness, questioning and acceptance through (Alison's) playing.' Robert J. Fialko, father of 29 year old 9/11 victim Jennifer Louise. 'It was very spiritual and helped me in the long-term healing process, I was coming for Paul (cousin who died in the attacks). He would have appreciated this, too.' Lisa Beatini. "'Lament and Restoration' seems to be an exceptionally clear and accurate tone poem. I hear elements of reverie, happy memories, shock, stress, horror, confused unfocused desperation, indecision, calm, hope, somewhat uncertain initiation of action, and movement toward resolution. These various elements wax and wane, dominate and fade, in a somewhat random fashion. ...this must be a very accurate depiction of the emotional state and tangible actions of people who have experienced the horror that the Crowthers have experienced. Apart from being amazingly 'graphic,' 'Lament and Restoration' is also solid and beautiful music that is a pleasure to listen to." Mac MacDonald, webmaster, september11quilts.org Performed by the GraceMusic Chamber Orchestra and conducted by former New York City Ballet Music Director, Andrea Quinn, the violin concerto was composed to embody the struggle of Alison Crowther to cope with her grief for the loss of her son through the resumption of her violin playing after a 20-year hiatus. 24-year old Welles, known worldwide as "The Man in the Red Bandanna," heroically rescued countless people before his own death in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Alison is the featured solo violinist on the recording. Paolo Michele Bordignon, the brilliant young harpsichordist, is also a featured soloist on the second piece on the disk, "Suite of Historical Dances." The orchestra is composed of members of the New York Philharmonic, New York City Ballet Orchestra, New York City Opera, American Ballet Theater, and other noted players. From the liner notes: "Lament and Restoration," subtitled "Concerto in one movement for Alison, Strings, and Harpsichord," is almost inseparable from both the person and institution to which it is dedicated, Alison Crowther and the Welles Crowther Trust. It tells the story of how one mother used the power of music to help overcome the grief she experienced after losing her son in the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001. Rather than compose a requiem for the memory of the dead, Ron Wasserman searched for subject matter that would celebrate life and looking to the future in the midst of profound tragedy. In the wonderful story of how Alison put on a series of concerts in her local church, Ron found just that. The emotional needs of the piece are well served by it's moderate tempo, Baroque instrumentation, and pleasing tonality. In concert, Alison begins with spoken commentary about the loss of her son and her feelings about how the music speaks of five emotions "shock, anger, sadness, questioning, and acceptance." During the performance, as listeners both hear and see this mother play the concerto starting in desolation and moving toward healing, the audience has a reaction to more than just the music, but also to the themes of death, loss, and life that resonate with everyone. The "Suite of Historical Dances," is based on the four Bach orchestral suites, and remains faithful to their form and harmonic language almost to the end. A formal French Overture starts the piece, however, instead of a Minuet, Gavotte and Sarabande, I've updated the form with slightly more contemporary dances: Polka, Tango, Jitterbug, and Moon Walk.

  The Journey

  In 1956, a band of international refugees flee Budapest, escaping the bloodshed of the Hungarian uprising. Among them are Lady Diana Ashmore (Deborah Kerr) and her lover, Hungarian Paul Kedes (Jason Robards, Jr..), who is forced to hide both his nationality and the wound he suffered in a street battle. The frightened refugees are halted at the Austrian border by Soviet Major Surov (Yul Brynner). Surov finds himself drawn to Diana as he interrogates the refugees in a hunt for suspicious persons. If Paul is discovered, everyone's life may be in danger. The Journey reunites Kerr and Brynner three years after they won acclaim in the King and I. Filmed on the Austro-Hungarian border by Anatole Litvak, this blend of Cold War thriller and human drama is 'exciting... an absorbing romantic adventure - a taut and tearing account of a plausible border incident.' (Bosley Crowther, the New York Times).
