Nous sommes en 62, à Rome. Au sommet du Palatin, lieu du pouvoir suprême, un complot se trame. Néron, désireux de s'unir à Poppée, entend écarter l'impératrice déchue, Octavie. Son éminence grise, l'esclave affranchi Anicetus, est l'instrument de cette conjuration. C'est lui que nous suivons à travers les rues de la capitale, de temples en palais, des bas-fonds aux arènes du cirque. Il nous conduit au plus près de ce que fut le quotidien à Rome durant le Haut-Empire. Comment vivait-on sous Néron ? Quelles étaient les croyances, les peurs, l'habitat, les plaisirs, les libertés et les servitudes des Romains ?
L’Art dans toute sa puissanceVéritable esthète, le commissaire-priseur Hervé Poulain est également un passionné de vitesse et de course automobile. Jeune pilote amateur, il rêvait depuis toujours de participer aux 24 Heures du Mans et pensait ce rêve inaccessible… jusqu’au jour où il fit part à la direction de BMW Motorsport de son idée de promouvoir l’art en confiant l’habillage de voitures de course à des artistes contemporains. Le constructeur allemand fut séduit par le projet est proposa de fournir une de ses 3.0 CSL à la condition qu’aucun autre sponsor ne soit présent sur la carrosserie et que BMW reste propriétaire de la voiture après la course. C’est ainsi qu’en 1975 est né le concept des « Art cars », avec une première voiture peinte par Alexander Calder qui fit sensation lors de l’épreuve mancelle. Les années suivantes, Frank Stella, Roy Lichtenstein ou encore Andy Warhol succèderont à Calder et, même si aucune voiture ne montera sur le podium, cela reste une immense victoire pour Hervé Poulain qui a réussi son pari : associer la compétition, le design et l’art. Véritables œuvres d’art roulantes, ces pièces uniques sont aujourd’hui conservées au Musée BMW à Munich. Préfacé par Hervé Poulain, ce onzième album consacré aux 24 Heures du Mans en bande dessinée revient sur un projet visionnaire l’année même où BMW fait son grand retour au Mans avec une nouvelle Art Car réalisée par l’artiste éthiopienne Julie Mehretu.

For well over a century, the G. Schirmer edition of 24 Italian Songs & Arias of the 17th and 18th Centuries has introduced millions of beginning singers to serious Italian vocal literature. Offered in two accessible keys suitable for all singers, it is likely to be the first publication a voice teacher will ask a first-time student to purchase. The classic Parisotti realizations result in rich, satisfying accompaniments which allow singers pure musical enjoyment. For ease of practice, carefully prepared accompaniments are also available that were recorded by John Keene, a New York-based concert accompanist and vocal coach who has performed throughout the United States for radio and television. Educated at the University of Southern California, Keene has taught accompanying at the university level and collaborated with Gian Carlo Menotti and Thea Musgrave on productions of their operas.

Alexander Scriabin occupies a special position among the Russian piano composers around the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. Already in his early works, he went beyond the Chopinesque traditions of his contemporaries Glazunov and Rachmaninoff. As he also did in his innumerable preludes, of which he brought together 24 in his op. 11, allowing for each major and minor key. However, in spite of keeping to the strict order of the circle of fifths, he took care to ensure that "each prelude is a small composition which can exist self-contained, independent of the other preludes". By comparing the autograph and the first edition of 1897, this Henle Urtext edition has corrected a number of errors and inaccuracies. A grandiose work which should belong in the repertoire of every pianist!

Am Küchentisch eines alten Bauernhauses treffen zwei Menschen aufeinander, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten. Der Erzähler dieser Geschichte führt ein gehetztes Leben, das er als endlose To-do-Liste empfindet; Karl hingegen sortiert Tag für Tag Kartoffeln - und denkt nach. Als Karl seinen Gast mit der Tatsache konfrontiert, dass ihm noch ungefähr 25 Sommer bleiben, beginnen beide ein Gespräch über die großen Fragen des Lebens: Warum verbringen wir so viel Zeit mit unserer Arbeit anstatt mit den Menschen und Dingen, die uns wirklich wichtig sind? Woher nehmen wir den Mut, unsere eigenen Träume zu verwirklichen? Und warum beginnt das richtige Leben oft erst, wenn wir erkennen, dass wir nur eines haben?Stephan Schäfer bringt uns dazu, Antworten auf diese Fragen in uns selbst zu suchen. 25 letzte Sommer ist eine warme, tiefe Erzählung, die uns in unserer Sehnsucht nach einem Leben in Gleichgewicht abholt, uns mitnimmt zu Karl und seinem Hof, zum See und auf den Kartoffelacker - zu einer Geschichte über Freundschaft, über das Zu-viel und Zu-wenig im Leben.
