Opera recordings have been with us since the creation of the first wax cylinders. Now at a time when the 25-year reign of the compact disc appears to be coming to an end is the moment to take stock of the history of recordings of arguably the most popular composer of operas, Giacomo Puccini. In Giacomo Puccini: A Discography, librarian and music historian Roger Flury looks at each opera chronologically from Le Villi to Turandot, followed by sections on Puccini's instrumental, chamber, orchestral, and solo vocal works. Details of each complete opera are listed by recording date, followed by excerpts in the order in which they occur in the opera. Recordings of each aria are listed alphabetically by the name of the artist. For ease of use, Flury establishes as the main criteria for inclusion those recordings assigned a commercial issue number and available for purchase. This book does not limit itself to mainstream recordings but includes as well 'unofficial' recordings taken from broadcasts or illegally recorded in theaters, ensuring that the audio recording history of Puccini is free of gaps. (Video and DVD issues, whether of staged performances or excerpts in concert, are not included unless they have been issued in a sound-only format.) This volume brings together information on nearly 10,000 recordings of Puccini's music. It provides a comprehensive overview of the recorded history of the composer's works and serves as a useful guide for the transfer of recordings from one format to another.

We strongly believe that this system will deeply penetrate the psyche, modifying and restructuring electromagnetic frequencies within the reader brain, which in turn changes and enlivens the DNA and RNA strands that are currently dormant.Every word written here will instill radiant light in the cerebral neurons and neurotransmitters, opening intercellular portals. Every sentence that you read in this book and every letter you see, directly seize the energy arranging chromosome combinations in the physical body.In the astral dimension, these words activate very fine energetic filaments that are attached to DNA strands and coat the meridian channels with crystallized spirals of light. In the causal or spiritual bodies, reading this book will open the gates to the soul, giving it access to new horizons of perception in nine parallel dimensions as well as the possibility of absorbing higher vibration nutrient sources that are streams of living astral liquid light.This book encloses a new spiritual practice to be performed in two parts: firstly, while reading, and secondly, as life goes on-at work, while walking, exercising, talking, sitting, and so on. You can experiment and decide for yourself how effective and useful this method is.This reading experience will be totally different from past reading experiences.

It will entice you, both consciously and unconsciously, to fly free. This book does not require you to sit and practice a plethora of techniques day after day; you just have to simply read and let the message sink deep into the mind and change the substructure of the mind. In this way, the book will softly persuade the mind to live the truth of who you really are. There are, of course, meditation techniques in this book also, which can be practiced in order to understand the expansive self that you are. The voice of this narrative will address you directly, inviting you deeper into your experience of reading the book. If you are interested in diving at a greater speed, you can play with these techniques by all means. However, you won't have to become a slave to them; simply practice them to recognize your real self and discard them after you feel that your roots are strong enough to withstand the cyclonic power of the mind.There is no doubt that this book will speed up spiritual evolution.

The feeling of luminosity this book will awaken in you will certainly continue optimistically contributing to freeing you from the dictatorial mind and emotions, leaving you in an immense field of blue, pure awareness.I invite you to do the experiment; there is nothing to lose and much to be gained.This experimentation intends to propel you forward in your spiritual search at great speed; you will be taking a shortcut.

This week only, save 10% to 40% on the boxed sets, Claus Boxed (Volume 1 and Volume 2)… In the early 1800s, Nicholas Santa discovered an ancient race of elven. Short, fat and hairy, they have lived peacefully on the North Pole since the Ice Age but Nicholas is quickly swept into the colony’s first and only fracture. The elven known as the Cold One has divided his people. His name is Jack. And Jack’s tired of hiding. Why should they live in a shrinking ice cap when humans occupy the rest of the world? It’s just not fair. There’s no stopping Jack from world domination until Nicholas Santa, the only human to enter the elven colony, joins helium-bladder reindeer, artificially-intelligent snowmen, and a merry band of big-footed elven to bring peace back to the North Pole. And becomes a legend.
