Fish in a Dwindling Lake , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 286min
A collection of bold, contemporary, and unique stories, told from a woman's gaze. The body was the only truth she knew. It was the body alone that was left, even as she went beyond the body. Journeys form the leitmotif of these astonishing new stories by Ambai. Sometimes culminating in an unconventional love affair, some are extraordinary tales of loyalty and integrity; others touch on the almost fantastic, absurd aspect of Mumbai. Yet others explore the notion of a wholesome self, and its tragic absence at times. These stories are illuminated by vivid and unusual characters: from an eccentric, penurious singer-couple who adopt an ape as their son, to a male prostitute, who is battered by bimbos for not giving full satisfaction. Crucially, some of the stories, like the title one, engage uninhibitedly with a woman's relationship to her body. For Ambai, feminist par excellence, the sensual body, experienced as a natural landscape changing with age, is at the same time, the only vehicle of life and tool for mapping the external world. ungekürzt.

The Kreutzer Sonata: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 216min
Dutch novelist de Moor (Duke of Egypt) traces narrative arabesques around the terrible romantic jealousy suffered by a blind music critic in this spare, delicate novel. In a series of chance encounters at European airports over the years, the musicologist narrator meets the famous blind patrician music critic, Marius van Vlooten, and extracts his history of tortured love. The first encounter elicits the desperate tale of unrequited love that drove Marius, as a student years before, to shoot himself in the head, thus blinding himself. The acquaintance between the two travelers continues briefly, allowing the narrator to introduce Marius to lovely Suzanna Flier, first violinist of the Schulhoff Quartet, who becomes Marius's wife. Ten years later, on the way to the Salzburg Festival, the narrator learns that Suzanna has left Marius because he tried to kill her, his jealousy roused by her love (he claims) for the violist in her quartet. Marius's obsession with Janácek's Kreutzer sonata provides the novel's leitmotif; according to the critic, "wayward modernist" Janácek "put things in his music that were meant not only for the listening ear but also for the inner eye." De Moor's slender, suspenseful narrative frequently shifts settings and moods, but Marius's idée fixe burns with a constant fire. Though de Moor sometimes stokes the blaze too high, this is an involving, passionate tale. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Meskimen.

The Hanged Man of Saint-Pholien: Inspector Maigret; Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 213min
Georges Simenon's haunting tale about the lengths to which people will go to escape from guilt, translated by Linda Coverdale as part of the new Penguin Maigret series. A first ink drawing showed a hanged man swinging from a gallows on which perched an enormous crow. And there were at least twenty other etchings and pen or pencil sketches that had the same leitmotif of hanging. On the edge of a forest: a man hanging from every branch. A church steeple: beneath the weathercock, a human body dangling from each arm of the cross... Below another sketch were written four lines from François Villon's Ballade of the Hanged Men. On a trip to Brussels, Maigret unwittingly causes a man's suicide, but his own remorse is overshadowed by the discovery of the sordid events that drove the desperate man to shoot himself. Georges Simenon was born in Liège, Belgium, in 1903. Best known in Britain as the author of the Maigret books, his prolific output of over 400 novels and short stories have made him a household name in continental Europe. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he had lived for the latter part of his life. Linda Coverdale is the awarding-winning translator of many French works and has been honoured with the title of Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters for her contribution to French literature. ungekürzt.

The Painter: The Bomber War, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 295min
The Painter is one woman’s remembrance of the days of her youth, spent in Bielefeld under the bombs of the Allied Air Forces in the final months of the war in Europe. After writing Until the Night, I had been looking for a way to start telling the other stories of the Bombing War in Europe. Until the Night was about the men in the bombers over Germany in the winter of 1943 to '44; The Painter is about the experience of ordinary Germans under the bombs in the last winter of the war. The Painter is the first of a series of companion audiobooks to Until the Night in the Bomber War series. Future audiobooks will include prequels or sequels to Until the Night, but The Painter stands alone, unconnected other than in time and theme by the tragedy of that, thankfully, past age. History is history, but for it to "live", it needs to be experienced through the eyes and ears of "people", and it was not until I heard "The Painter", a beautifully elegiac song penned by Hannah Martin and performed in a concert by the duo Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin, that I discovered a way to speak to the nightmare of the closing months of the war in Europe. In her song, Hannah Martin encapsulates the stories told to her by her grandmother about her life as a young woman growing up in Bielefeld. In the terrible "big picture" of the bombing war, Bielefeld suffered less than many places in Germany. In the UK, we recall the trial by fire of Coventry in 1940; that city has become a leitmotif of the British experience of the blitz even though other towns and cities were as badly hit by the Luftwaffe. Bielefeld, a much smaller city than Coventry, its population swollen by slave labourers, suffered at least as many civilian casualties between September 1944 and VE-Day in April 1945. Although it was never subjected to a major "area bombing" raid by the RAF, the US Army Air Force repeatedly attacked ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lesley Parkin.

Remembering Phil (Original Soundtrack)
The Remembering Phil Score features: Todd Cochran: Piano, Bob Sheppard: Tenor Sax, Flute and Bass Clarinet, Roy McCurdy: Drums and John B. Williams: Bass. Special guest: Michael Wolff: Piano. The CD features original music from the film plus improvised quartet versions of the main themes. The score to Remembering Phil is acoustic jazz, in a small group setting. The instrumentation (featuring Bob Sheppard on tenor sax, flute and in an unusual role on Bass Clarinet) reflects the small ensemble cast of the film. While recurring themes do accent the narrative, there is also a strong improvisational aspect to this score. The main leitmotif is traded back and forth between John B. Williams' bass and the bass clarinet. This opens up space on the main themes (the first 5 selections on the CD) for Todd Cochran and Michael Wolff's explorations on piano, as well as Bob Sheppard's Tenor Sax.

Silence is Rising
Der erste Eindruck trügt. Silence is Rising" mag nach Elisabeth Cutlers optimistischstem und tanzbarstem Album klingen. Doch schwingen bei diesem Tanz stets auch Tod und Schicksalsschläge mit. Die nackte Konfrontation mit der eigenen Sterblichkeit wurde für Elisabeth zum Leitmotif für das gesamte Album. Die jazzigen Grooves, warmen Akustikfarben und verspielten Experimenten bilden somit ein Gegengewicht zu den finsteren Texten: Dies ist kein Requiem, sondern eine Feier des Lebens.- Shop: odax
