Puccini Rediscovered - Violeta Urmana's new recording for the Deutsche Grammopho …
Old hat, you might think. Can't be anything new by Puccini left to discover.

Jim Lee - easy is hard
Everyday life objects that are familiar to the viewer compose Jim Lee’s sculptures, paintings and installations. As they give off the aura of “the found”, they inspire connotations linked to Arte Povera. Their basic structure is preserved, but is getting recomposed in a certain manner.
