When the subject of 18th-century music comes up, the United States is rarely considered any sort of creative artistic bastion. But this collection of Moravian religious music reveals how deep a fallacy it is to write off the U.S. as unimportant in vocal music history. The Moravian Church, founded on the cusp of the 14th and 15th centuries, would generate a distinctly musical worship tradition in the 1700s, just prior to the first Moravians settling in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Once in Pennsylvania, the music flowed at a brisk pace, comprising significant sections of worship ceremonies. Composers included in this collection reflect two particular facets of the music: its harmonic simplicity and its abiding spiritual values. Of course, "simplicity" is an easily derogatory descriptive, but that is not at all the case here. These choral works display tremendous richness and depth, with traces of J.S. Bach's cantatas as well as works by Haydn and even Mozart, who developed on a parallel musical track to the Moravians. And there are pop smarts here, too: One of the songs even quotes the Star Spangled Banner, then a ditty for the masses. The period instruments create a fine chamber background--music that floats without weighting the vocals or tearing ears away. A second bonus CD contains an extended discussion with Martin Pearlman, whose discussion of the music is more than enlightening. --Andrew Bartlett

In this excellent retelling of a Russian folk tale, young Pyotr proves that nice guys can finish first if they have tenacity and good friends on their side. Pyotr is but a woodcutter when his lazy brothers take the family's lean savings and go off to answer the king's call for a flying ship in exchange for his daughter's hand in marriage. When they fail to return, the humble Pyotr sets off to find them and finds a magical flying ship instead. So it's off to the palace, picking up a boatload of unusually talented hitchhikers along the way. The king and his evil adviser hatch a plan to assign the peasant troupe a series of impossible tasks so they can banish them and take the ship. The story is told in stop-motion animation with detailed sets and exquisitely designed models who are neither cute nor scary. The superb writing and low-key narration by David Suchet no doubt helped earn this installment of the public television series Long Ago and Far Away an Emmy Award. Ages 3 and older. --Kimberly Heinrichs
This delightful, magnificently animated Russian folktale tells the story of a peasant boy who wins the hand of a beautiful princess with a little help from his uniquely talented friends. Pyotr and his friends journey to the Czar's palace, where they successfully complete three impossible tasks and prove that the most humble of people can defeat power and greed. Parents' Choice Award

Victoria & Albert

Victoria Hamilton and Jonathan Firth excel in the title roles of the British royals in this sweeping biodrama. Follow the 18-year-old Victoria's ascension to the throne in 1837, her controversial marriage to the German-born Albert, their at-times stormy private life, and Albert's tragic 1861 typhoid death. The stellar cast includes Nigel Hawthorne, Jonathan Pryce, Diana Rigg, David Suchet, and Peter Ustinov. 3 1/3 hrs. on two discs. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo; biographies; filmographies.
Recasting history as a particularly lavish soap opera, Victoria and Albert sets the story of the relationship between the queen and her consort against a background of family strife and political wrangling. Sticklers for accuracy might be disappointed, but the strong cast and lavish production values make for an entertaining film. Victoria is barely 18 when her uncle King William IV dies. She is introduced by the family adviser to a young German prince called Albert, and in spite of their initial indifference to one another and a great deal of political opposition, they fall in love. Marriage brings its own problems, however, and as Victoria, grows from an inexperienced young woman into a shrewd and powerful monarch Albert struggles to find a role for himself in both the family and the nation. The relationship between Victoria and Albert was a remarkable one and this film, while occasionally erring on the side of sentiment, brings that relationship to life. The young leads are charming, but it is the supporting cast of British acting stalwarts--including Nigel Hawthorne, David Suchet, and Diana Rigg--who make Victoria and Albert truly worth watching. --Simon Leake

The unabridged tales in this Mystery Masters audiobook include all the ones in the print book first published in 1974. With each case, Poirot further proves his reputation as the greatest mind in detective fiction. In "The Plymouth Express," the body of the daughter of a wealthy American industrialist is found stuffed under a train seat. "Problem at Sea" finds a disliked rich woman murdered in a locked room on a ship. "The King of Clubs" involves a prince, his dancer fiancée, and a fiendish bit of blackmail. These gems are alternately read by David Suchet and Hugh Fraser, whose roles as, respectively, Poirot and his sidekick, Captain Hugh Hastings, in PBSs Mystery! series and the Arts and Entertainments Poirot series are considered definitive.

Here are some more information for David Suchet:

Cards on the Table - 3 Stars (Good)
English mystery writer Agatha Christie must have had her gray cells working overtime in 1936 when she created Cards on the Table, another crime novel featuring her clever little Belgian detective Hercule Poirot.
This made-for-TV movie is notable in that Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) says at one point, "The question is, can Hercule Poirot possibly be wrong?"
"No one can always be right," Mrs. Lorrimer replies.
"But I am! Always I am right. It is so invariable it startles me. And now it looks very much as though I may be wrong," laments Poirot, "and that upsets me. But I should not upset, because I am right. I must be right because I am never wrong."
In this case, it is not the what, but the who, that causes Poirot's confusion.
Poirot is at an exhibition when he meets Mr. Shaitana (Alexander Siddig), a wealthy collector of the finest "specimens" in the world of crime: the people who do not get caught because they commit the perfect murder.
Siddig does an excellent job of playing Shaitana, who comes off in the movie as sleazy and uneasy to be around.
Shaitana invites Poirot to dinner to meet his "collection" which turns out to be four sleuths and four people who he believes have gotten away with murder.
The sleuths include Poirot, Scotland Yard's Superintendent (David Westhead), a colonel from His Majesty's Secret Service (Robert Pugh) and a popular mystery novelist (Zoe Wanamaker).
The guests begin to play bridge when Shaitana is murdered with a small stiletto. It is the job of the sleuths to identify the murderer, all of whom are murder suspects. All four had the opportunity, and all four had something to hide. The sleuths learn little from their interrogation.
Shaitana is in the room where the four suspects are playing bridge when he is murdered, and it is known that no one entered the room before Shaitana was killed. It turns out that none of the suspects actually killed Shaitana, and he did not stab himself.
It is unusual to see Poirot be flummoxed over a murder investigation. He tends to be very thorough, detailed and workmanlike in his approach, and exudes patience and confidence in his eventual ability to explain all of the details that the others miss.
In Cards on the Table, Poirot almost meets his match in the mysterious Mr. Shaitana, who apparently will go to any lengths to prove his fascination with the perfect murder.
To learn what really happened, you will have to see the movie, it is too good to give away here.
Agatha Christie wrote 41 murder mystery novels over a 55-year period. She remains one the greatest novelists of all time.

Poirot - "The Double Clue" Exposes Hercule's Facade as the Thief Melts His Heart
Copyright © 2009 Ed Bagley
(Editor's Note: These made-for-TV movies are among the 41 murder mystery novels originally aired by PBS involving the proper, obsessive little Belgian inspector Hercule Poirot. The character of Poirot (played to perfection by David Suchet) was created by the famous British author Agatha Christie, who wrote her first Poirot novel in 1920 at the age of 30 and her last Poirot novel in 1975, 55 years later and a year before her death in 1976.)
The Double Clue - 4 Stars (Excellent)
The dramatization of "The Double Clue" by Anthony Horowitz in 1991strays somewhat from the original novel written by Agatha Christie in 1923, but remains one of the best Hercule Poirot episodes ever.
Poirot (David Suchet) is called to investigate the theft of an irreplaceable piece of jewelry that occurred during a social gathering at the home of wealthy collector Marcus Hardman (David Lyon).
Only four guests are possible suspects—a millionaire who could buy the missing piece in a heartbeat; a middle-aged society lady who is on hard times; a young, effeminate agent for Hardman; and a Russian refugee, Countess Vera Rossakoff (Kika Markham).
Poirot's assistant—Captain Arthur Hastings (Huge Fraser)—and personal secretary—Miss Lemon (Pauline Moran)—pretty much make fools of themselves investigating the case while Poirot is smitten and spends all of his time with Countess Rossakoff. Both Hastings and Miss Lemon are visibly upset because the precise, orderly, rational, meticulous little Belgian detective is so out of character.
Even more upset is Chief Inspector Japp (Philip Jackson) whose job is on the line since there have been three recent thefts of precious jewelry and the thief is still at large. Japp is given only a couple of days to solve the case; he sees his livelihood slipping away as Poirot idles away his time with the Countess.
Miss Lemon is distraught. She has been in love with Hercule forever and Poirot never even notices her. Poirot finds the Countess to be the most extraordinary woman he has ever met, a brilliant thief who is the match of his brilliant mind. Will Poirot be able to experience an impluse and yet not act on it?
See how Poirot finds and returns the stolen goods only to have the thief escape into the night.
The Mystery of the Spanish Chest - 4 Stars (Excellent)
What chances will a husband take to validate his suspicion that his wife is cheating on him? Hecule Poirot, the master of psychology and human behavior, is almost killed in his quest to solve the murder of the suspecting husband. The center of the wife's attention and her suspected lover is obviously implicated and arrested for the crime.
But Poirot cannot find the answer to two key questions: Why would he kill the husband, put him in Spanish chest and leave the body there while conducting a party with several guests in the same room, knowing the body could be easily discovered? And if he did not do it, who did and why?
Poirot finds the answers to these questions far more difficult than successfully concealing an ongoing illicit affair. By pushing his gray cells a little harder, Poirot discovers a dastardly execution by a person with no conscience and no remorse.
The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor - 3 Stars (Good)
When a young, beautiful artist—Susan Maltravers (Geraldine Alexander)—marries a much older wealthy owner of a manor—Jonathan Maltravers (Ian McCulloch), could there be a hidden motive besides love? What if a love triangle developed? What if the death of a young girl on the same manor grounds years ago returned to haunt the young wife, driving her out of her mind?
These and other questions are put to rest when Hercule Poirot realizes the elder Maltravers did not succumb due to a recent operation, but rather from a cold-blooded execution. Poirot, however, does not have sufficient evidence to convict the murderer.
Because he is long on theory and short on evidence, Poirot concocts a really scary scene wherein the victim returns from death to confront his executioner.
