The Quatuor Ysae decided to form its own label, Ysae/Aeon, in 2003 after spending more than a decade working for the “big” classical labels. Now that the group is expending its own dime on recording, it has seen significant improvements in the range of repertoire it is able to commit to disc and is striking a keen balance between standard repertoire pieces, which it performs easily and well, and less familiar music that brings with it increased challenges. With Magnard — Faur: String Quartets we experience a little of both endeavors, the mega-obscure, lengthy, and technically extremely difficult “String Quartet, Op. 16,” of Albric Magnard combined with the valedictory work of then 79-year-old and deaf composer Gabriel Faur. The Magnard is the center of attention here. The most iconoclastic of early twentieth century French composers, he refused to follow any prevailing trend relating to music, stubbornly resisting both German Romanticism and French Impressionism. In his time, Magnard’s colleagues viewed his work as that of an arch-reactionary, but in hindsight it is clear that he was actually working toward the future. Magnard’s quartet sounds closer to Schoenberg’s “Verklrte Nacht” than it does anything by the Impressionists, and its winding turns and abrupt changes of subject indicate a very high level of mental activity at work. Quatuor Ysae takes its time with this quartet, letting it breathe and allowing all of Magnard’s various and skittery ideas to come into full focus, refraining from discriminating against themes that don’t seem to go very far. For the listener, this does not matter as much in the first exposure to the work than in the second — one realizes that all fragmentary things Magnard seems not to develop form a significant part of the connective tissue that binds the whole complex together. The Faur is terse, enigmatic, and reflective; and Quatuor Ysae effectively switches gears to provide the same kind of care in its presentation that is show..

Camille Pissarro (1830 – 1903)

“Painting, art in general, enchants me. It is my life. What else matters? When you put all your soul into a work, all that is noble in you, you cannot fail to find a kindred soul who understands you, and you do not need a host of such spirits. Is not that all an artist should wish for”? (Camille Pissarro)

Pissarro was born in 1830 in St. Thomas, the West Indies. In 1841 he was sent to school in Paris where he created his first drawings. By 1847 he returned to St. Thomas to work for his father which he did not like and consequently ran away to Caracas, Venezuela, for 2 years to paint. His first pictures were West Indian scenes in an – Oriental Style -. In 1855 his father finally allowed him to study art in Paris. He became friends with Monet, Cezanne and Guillaumin and played a key role in the development of Impressionism. He was the only artist to show in all 8 of the Impressionist exhibitions. For him Impressionism was a movement which allowed artistic emancipation. He believed strongly in free thought and speech. Before he introduced figures into his work in 1880, giving them a more decorative character, his paintings resembled most those of Monet. Later on Pissarro was attracted to Seurat’s Pointillism and saw it as a logical development of Impressionism. He adopted Seurat’s techniques but with limited success. Camille Pissarro was born in the West Indies, but studied in Paris under Corot. He also studied with Monet at the Academie Suisse, who encouraged him to join the Impressionists. Both Monet and Pissarro lived in London from 1870 to 1871 to avoid the Franco-Prussian War. From 1885-1888, Pissarro explored the divisionism technique of Neoimpressionist, Seurat, before returning to his original style. Confined indoors because of his failing eyesight, Pissarro painted views of Rouen and Paris from 1896 to his death.

*** 6 CDs and Resource CDROM *** Connect with the primal energy that underlies all reality -and use that energy for creating the life you want and deserve! When you trust the knowledge that comes to you through your connection with chi, you begin to find confirmation of them in the material world. If you have the nerve to trust what you know in this way, the world will provide supporting evidence much sooner than you think! – from The Power of Chi There really is a mystical power at the core of all existence. Everything you do and everything you are springs from this essential life force.Yet the chances are you’ve never even given it a moment’s thought – much less learned to connect with it and maximize its benefits for your life. This life force has been known by many different names in various cultures and in different eras over the centuries. But the Far East – where the life force is known as chi – has produced the most penetrating insights into this primal energy, as well as the most powerful applications of it. Much of this wisdom is associated with the martial arts, including ju-jitsu, tai chi, and aikido. In this remarkable program, The Power of Chi: Applying Far Eastern Insights for Effortless Living, Robert Pino reveals those secrets, explains them, and fine-tunes them for use in the world we live in today. Robert has devoted years to studying the wisdom traditions of the Far East, including many forms of martial arts and the philosophical teachings of Buddhism and Taoism. At the same time, he’s built a successful career as an author, corporate consultant, and management coach. Drawing on his unique background in the spiritual underpinnings of success and personal fulfillment, Robert identifies specific principles for connecting with chi and the dramatic transformation it can bring. What’s more, he links these principles with specific strategies and tactics for applying them every day. The Wisdom of Chi isn’t a history lesson or a philosophy

brave new (old) world. This original canvas is handpainted by an almost extinct community of Bollywood artists known for their kitschy, glam movie posters and sets. With the Mumbai film industry’s move to digital vinyl billboards, the talent of these fine artists is no longer in demand. In an effort to keep this art form alive, these limited-edition, signed paintings from the hands of the original masters are commissioned exclusively by CB2. Once required to produce up to 20 posters a day during their movie careers, this special initiative provides the artists not only a new source of income, but the opportunity for a slower pace focused on their skills and passion for painting. This original map is truly elemental, handpainted on cotton canvas in a wash of colors ranging from henna to river mud. Its global perspective will remind you of where you’ve been, and inspire where you’re going. Limited edition: Only 576 original paintings are available.
