Lake Eyre occupies a vast mythological and real landscape its basin makes up one sixth of the Australian continent and it is the 'inland sea' so many early explorers died trying to discover. But for most of the time the lake is empty, a vast salty desert plain. Only once in a generation when the great rains sweep in from Queensland, does the lake fill up. When this happens an astonishing transformation occurs; overnight the lake changes, the desert blooms, great flocks of birds, brumbies, dingoes and other wildlife find their way to the water's shores. And for the people who live there, the deluge changes everything.In this stunning book, reporter Paul Lockyer tells the story of the great lake from its ancient beginnings to its present day and the tales of all those it affects.

Born in Australia, Melba began her training in Melbourne but moved to Europe in 1882 to start her career. She found success in Brussels as Gilda in Verdi's Rigoletto and was soon well known throughout the continent's opera houses. She debuted at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in 1893. Her repertoire extended over twenty-five roles, and she was regarded as unmatched in ten of these, continuing to perform throughout her life, in concert recitals as well as in opera, to great acclaim, and becoming one of the earliest modern 'celebrities'. In this autobiography, published in 1925, Melba describes her childhood and her journey from the 'great Australian Bush' to the bright lights of the European and American stage, while also giving a colourful, first-hand account of the world of opera.

Los Angeles, California: The William Kapell Piano Foundation, 1983. Staple-Bound. Fine. 6" x 9. Documentation of the commemorative/memorial concert, held in New York City at Symphony Space 30 years after his passing. PROGRAM CONTENTS: Kapell Piano Foundation; Foundation Administration and Board; William Kapell biographical sketch; The Program (performances by Shirley Rhoads and Richard Goode, Dickran Atamian, Michael Sellers, William Masselos, Gary Graffman, and Jerome Lowenthal; music by Schubert, Chopin, Richard Cameron-Wolfe, Aaron Copland, Scriabin, George Perle, Mendelssohn, and Liszt); Notes on the Contemporary Works; The Measure of Kapell (Copland); In Memoria (Thomson, Cassidy, etc.); from the performers in tonight's concert; letter from William Kapell to Shirley Rhoads; photo of Kapell; 20 pages. CONDITION: Both the souvenir concert program and flyer are unmarked and uncreased, with negligible shelf-wear - now in a clear protective polypropylene bag with archival backing board., The William Kapell Piano Foundation, 1983, 5, New York: Furious Artisans, 2003. First Edition . CD in Jewel Case. New (Very Fine). Description: FACD 6807. This CD brings together the remarkable music of Dane Rudhyar (1895-1985), X-patriate, and Erik Satie (1866-1925), X-centric. Rudhyar is represented here by two early Paris works: Lamento (1913) and Cortege funebre (1914). The period of his mature and more adventurous work is represented by Tetragram #8, "Primavera" (1928) and Tetragram #3, "Rebirth" (1927). This is stunning music - by a composer best known as an astrologer! The Satie work is one of his most eccentric - Uspud: Ballet Chretien (1892), a half-hour hallucinatory anti-epic of martyrdom and (perhaps) redemption. In this unique interpretation, the scenario of J. P. Contamine De Latour is narrated by actress Kathryn Philip (in the ur-persona of Satie's "Little American Girl" from the later ballet Parade.) This is a pristine, "new" copy, still in shrink-wrap. NOTE: all individual CD orders will be automatically upgraded to First Class shipping for the US and to Priority Air Mail internationally., Furious Artisans, 2003, 5, New York - London - Frankfurt: C.

CONDITION: There is considerable discoloration to the covers (see scan images), including what appear to be coffee splashes, and small spots appear on a few pages of the first song.. The interior has a bold marker inscription on the title page, but the score pages themselves are unmarked.

Lake Eyre occupies a vast mythological and real landscape its basin makes up one sixth of the Australian continent and it is the 'inland sea' so many early explorers died trying to discover. But for most of the time the lake is empty, a vast salty desert plain. Only once in a generation when the great rains sweep in from Queensland, does the lake fill up. When this happens an astonishing transformation occurs; overnight the lake changes, the desert blooms, great flocks of birds, brumbies, dingoes and other wildlife find their way to the water's shores. And for the people who live there, the deluge changes everything.In this stunning book, reporter Paul Lockyer tells the story of the great lake from its ancient beginnings to its present day and the tales of all those it affects.

Born in Australia, Melba began her training in Melbourne but moved to Europe in 1882 to start her career. She found success in Brussels as Gilda in Verdi's Rigoletto and was soon well known throughout the continent's opera houses. She debuted at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in 1893. Her repertoire extended over twenty-five roles, and she was regarded as unmatched in ten of these, continuing to perform throughout her life, in concert recitals as well as in opera, to great acclaim, and becoming one of the earliest modern 'celebrities'. In this autobiography, published in 1925, Melba describes her childhood and her journey from the 'great Australian Bush' to the bright lights of the European and American stage, while also giving a colourful, first-hand account of the world of opera.

Los Angeles, California: The William Kapell Piano Foundation, 1983. Staple-Bound. Fine. 6" x 9. Documentation of the commemorative/memorial concert, held in New York City at Symphony Space 30 years after his passing. PROGRAM CONTENTS: Kapell Piano Foundation; Foundation Administration and Board; William Kapell biographical sketch; The Program (performances by Shirley Rhoads and Richard Goode, Dickran Atamian, Michael Sellers, William Masselos, Gary Graffman, and Jerome Lowenthal; music by Schubert, Chopin, Richard Cameron-Wolfe, Aaron Copland, Scriabin, George Perle, Mendelssohn, and Liszt); Notes on the Contemporary Works; The Measure of Kapell (Copland); In Memoria (Thomson, Cassidy, etc.); from the performers in tonight's concert; letter from William Kapell to Shirley Rhoads; photo of Kapell; 20 pages. CONDITION: Both the souvenir concert program and flyer are unmarked and uncreased, with negligible shelf-wear - now in a clear protective polypropylene bag with archival backing board., The William Kapell Piano Foundation, 1983, 5, New York: Furious Artisans, 2003. First Edition . CD in Jewel Case. New (Very Fine). Description: FACD 6807. This CD brings together the remarkable music of Dane Rudhyar (1895-1985), X-patriate, and Erik Satie (1866-1925), X-centric. Rudhyar is represented here by two early Paris works: Lamento (1913) and Cortege funebre (1914). The period of his mature and more adventurous work is represented by Tetragram #8, "Primavera" (1928) and Tetragram #3, "Rebirth" (1927). This is stunning music - by a composer best known as an astrologer! The Satie work is one of his most eccentric - Uspud: Ballet Chretien (1892), a half-hour hallucinatory anti-epic of martyrdom and (perhaps) redemption. In this unique interpretation, the scenario of J. P. Contamine De Latour is narrated by actress Kathryn Philip (in the ur-persona of Satie's "Little American Girl" from the later ballet Parade.) This is a pristine, "new" copy, still in shrink-wrap.

CONDITION: There is considerable discoloration to the covers (see scan images), including what appear to be coffee splashes, and small spots appear on a few pages of the first song..
