      By Bruns, Don
       c2009., Adult, Oceanview Edition: eBook ed.    Series Title: Mike Sever mysteries   Volume: 5Summary Note: "For rock and roll writer Mick Sever, another story, another deadly island paradise is all in a day's work. This time, Mick heads to Nassau, Bahamas, home of the legendary Highland Studio. Known for pumping out hits that burn up the charts, Highland is where the magic happens-or rather, where the magic happened until a devastating fire destroyed the entire studio. No one knows how the fire started, who started it-or whose body was found among the charred ruins. Sent to get the inside story on the opening of the new Highland Studio, Mick finds this is hardly the Phoenix-rising-out-of-the-ashes story he expected. Some say the studio's haunted, some say it's cursed, but one thing is for sure: someone-or something-wants to stop the music. A smashed guitar and erased tracks send a subtle warning, but murder? That's an entirely different tune. If Mick doesn't act fast, Highland Studio, along with everything and everyone in its path, could go up in smoke.It's not always better to burn out than to fade away."--Inside front jacket.

      By Donizetti, Gaetano, 1797-1848  Sutherland, Joan, 1926-  Bonynge, Richard
       Ã1966., The Metropolitan Opera Call No: CD Music Donizetti    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: From Sir Walter Scott's melodramatic novel The Bride of Lammermoor, librettist Salvatore Cammarano cobbled together one of the most contrived and ridiculous plots in all of opera. The opera is saved and made great by Donizetti's flood of fabulous music, which includes one of the greatest of all coloratura parts in the title role. It's got blood and thunder, great choruses, the sextet "Chi mi frena," and above all, the celebrated Mad Scene. Scott's novel had already inspired three operatic treatments by the time of this one. Cammarano had not had much work as a librettist previous to his writing of Lucia, but afterwards he and Donizetti became close partners. Lucia di Lammermoor remains one of Donizetti's most popular works.

      By Lee, Min Jin  Hiroto, Alison
       2017., 18:16:32., Grand Central Publishing Edition: Unabridged.    Connect to this eAudiobook title Summary Note: In this bestselling, page-turning saga, four generations of a poor Korean immigrant family fight to control their destiny in twentieth-century Japan, exiled from a home they never knew. "There could only be a few winners, and a lot of losers. And yet we played on, because we had hope that we might be the lucky ones." In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant-and that her lover is married-she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations. Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Lee's complex and passionate characters-strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis-survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history.

      By Britten, Benjamin, 1913-1976  Davis, Colin, 1927-2013
       Ã1967., The Metropolitan Opera Call No: CD Music Britten-Peter    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Brittenœs Peter Grimes is one of the few operas from the mid-20th century to have found a solid place in the international mainstream repertoire. While the work first appeared at the Metropolitan Opera in 1948, it was not until 1967 that it became a favorite of Met audiences. The run marked the role debut of Canadian tenor Jon Vickers as Grimeshis first in a career of riveting performances as the unstable title charactersinging with a specific intensity that lent the opera added dramatic dimensions. Colin Davis conducts this performance of Peter Grimes from February 11, 1967, which features versatile American soprano Lucine Amara as the compassionate Ellen Orford and Welsh bass-baritone Geraint Evans as Captain Balstrode. The Metœs impressive roster of comprimario artists also shines in the teeming cast of Peter Grimes.
