Advantages: Fleming is sublime, well sung throughout Disadvantages: Live recording is slightly noticeable in places
Despite being one of the most prolific composers of opera and very successful in his own time, Handel operas have remained largely neglected in the operatic repertoire until fairly recently with the Handel revival that began in the '60s. Because of this, if you're looking for recordings of Handel operas there are often not too many to choose from and to my knowledge there are only 3 recordings available of Alcina: one with Joan Sutherland in the title role, one with Renee Fleming, and one with Arleen Auger. I am eagerly awaiting the release this month of another recording with Joyce DiDonato in the title role - possibly an unorthodox choice as a mezzo soprano, but one of my favourite singers.
Alcina tells the story of a sorceress (Alcina herself) who seduces every man who dares to set foot on her island. However, Alcina is fickle ...

Advantages: Very interesting insight into how your dogs mind works Disadvantages: Not many actual methods of training described in the book
When I first started watching Cesar Millan?s Dog Whisperer program on the National Geographic channel I became a bit obsessed with the program. I recorded every episode on my Sky+ Box and have now seen them all. So I am a big fan.
As soon as this book arrived in the post I started to read it that very night. I couldn?t put it down!! Such a great read. It probably helped that I am a big fan of Cesar anyway. But it does give you a great insight into how your dog sees the world and you.
This is a `Dog Psychology? book, looking at how your dog actually sees the world. Whereas a `Dog Training? book? would look more at teaching your dog commands. Both have there place.
