Art of Piano - Great Pianists of the 20th Century [VHS]
$29.98
I enjoyed the other pianist's comments of about fellow pianist's. Their detailed descriptions of playing styles are very interesting. Hoffman was great as was many others. This is the type of DVD that I enjoy watching over and over. The violin DVD is also very good.

Classical Baby 3-Pack - Music, Art & Dance
$26.98
My 7 yo daughter really enjoyed this. I liked it as well, but I only have one complaint. The songs are abridged. Regardless, the fact that each 30 minute DVD is entertaining and keeps the kids attention with it's animations and highly entertaining animal audience is well worth buying this for the simple fact that it teaches an early appreciation for classical music. Most teens and adults would deem "classical" music as dull and tune it out, but this DVD series creates a positive association from an early age and may help them to give more varieties of music a chance in the future.

The art and animation are simplistic and cute and at times funny. We enjoyed spending an afternoon together watching these DVDs!

DISCOBOLOS Discus Thrower Classical Greek Roman Fine Art Male Nude Sculpture Statue
$37.99
This Roman statue of Myrons Discus Thrower is the centerpiece for a display about the importance of athletics to the ancient Romans. Myron, one of the most famous Greek sculptors of the 5th century B.C. lived in Athens. His original bronze work, Discobolus, was thought to represent the perfect athletic form. Besides being beautiful, this statue suggested a period of transition. The chest and the face are frontal and the legs are in profile. But movement is implied in the position and tension of the body. There are several copies of this Myrons statue, one can be seen at the Vatican. This Extremely Detailed and Well-Made statue measures 12 Inches Tall. Made with cold cast resin with marble finish, this piece loyally preserves the intricate details and the spirit of the original. The photo does not do it justice. It has a very nice, substantial feel to it and is heavy for its size. The bottom is furnished with felt for the protection of your furniture. Simply put, very much a Class Act Quality Product.
