I just love the shape of this elegant teapot... so well balanced, it is a dream to pour from. And the bone china is so light and delicate.. the entire piece barely weighs a pound. It features a lovely yellow chintz design perfectly set against the white fine bone china background. The pure white handle and spout provide lovely accent. Nicely sized, she stands 7" tall and measures 10" across inclusive of handle and spout.

Description

Chinese classical music is a much larger field than Western classical music. It covers a huge geographical area as well as a time frame of thousands of years. Although some of China's musical instruments have changed very little in hundreds or thousands of years, others were adapted to Western standards under the influence of Russian musicians during the middle of this century. In some cases, frets were added to non-chromatic instruments and tonalities standardized. The liner notes of The Hugo Masters: An Anthology of Chinese Classical Music contain extensive documentation of the various instruments used in Chinese solo and orchestral music, with descriptions of their history and modifications, as well as an essay to help Western listeners understand the background of Chinese classical music.The instruments fall into four categories, each constituting a separate compact disk: Volume One: Bowed StringsVolume Two: Plucked StringsVolume Three: WoodwindsVolume Four: PercussionThese disks are available individually or as a collector's series in a beautifully designed silk boxed set. The music itself is highly varied and richly emotional. The music paints pictures of China's people, their culture and homeland, and their dreams and their despair. The Hugo Masters: An Anthology of Chinese Classical Music is a joint effort of the Hugo and Celestial Harmonies labels to bring this definitive anthology to listeners worldwide. This is the first time these recordings have become available to audiences outside of Hong Kong. For listeners unfamiliar with Chinese classical music, these works are a powerful and emotional awakening.

Actors: Takeshi Kaneshiro, Andy Lau, Ziyi Zhang Directors: Zhang Yimou Format: AC-3, Color, Dolby, Dubbed, Subtitled, Widescreen Language: Mandarin Chinese, English, French, Spanish Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Region: Region 1 (U.S. and Canada only. Read more about DVD formats.) Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1 Number of discs: 1 Rating: Studio: Sony Pictures DVD Release Date: June 20, 2006 Run Time: 119 minutes

No one uses color like Chinese director Zhang Yimou--movies like Raise the Red Lantern or Hero, though different in tone and subject matter, are drenched in rich, luscious shades of red, blue, yellow, and green. House of Flying Daggers is no exception; if they weren't choreographed with such vigorous imagination, the spectacular action sequences would seem little more than an excuse for vivid hues rippling across the screen. Government officers Leo and Jin (Asian superstars Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro) set out to destroy an underground rebellion called the House of Flying Daggers (named for their weapon of choice, a curved blade that swoops through the air like a boomerang). Their only chance to find the rebels is a blind women named Mei (Ziyi Zhang, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) who has some lethal kung fu moves of her own. In the guise of an aspiring rebel, Jin escorts Mei through gorgeous forests and fields that become bloody battlegrounds as soldiers try to kill them both. While arrows and spears of bamboo fly through the air, Mei, Jin, and Leo turn against each other in surprising ways, driven by passion and honor. Zhang's previous action/art film, Hero, sometimes sacrificed momentum for sheer visual beauty; House of Flying Daggers finds a more muscular balance of aesthetic splendor and dazzling swordplay. --Bret Fetzer

Description

Anybody hungering for a good old-fashioned Western needs to check out Warriors of Heaven and Earth, which--although it's set in 7th-century China--has all the valor and spectacle of a John Ford picture. It also has a goofy supernatural streak, for the chopsocky crowd. The opening 10 minutes or so offer an alarmingly convoluted plot, but it swiftly settles down. What's going on is that a long-exiled Japanese hit man (Kiichi Nakai), hired to kill a renegade Chinese warrior (Jiang Wen), temporarily teams up with his quarry in order to escort a camel caravan along the Spice Road. Of course, they are menaced by a brutal warlord, and beautiful Zhao Wei (So Close) is mixed in there too. Director He Ping (Red Firecracker, Green Firecracker) captures some magnificent vistas in the Gobi Desert, but more importantly he sketches the codes or honor and behavior essential to any such tale. --Robert Horton

While on a mission to the Gobi Desert to execute a traitorous soldier (Jiang Wen), a 17th-century Japanese official (Nakai Kichi) encounters a Buddhist monk leading a caravan carrying a collection of priceless artifacts. Agreeing to accompany them to their destination, Kichi has no choice but to turn to Wen for help when the convoy is attacked by a band of thieves. Wang Xueqi, Hasi Bagen co-star. 120 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: Mandarin Dolby Digital 5.1, PCM 5.1, English, French, Portuguese, Spanish; Subtitles: English (SDH), French, Portuguese, Spanish. In Mandarin with English subtitles/Dubbed in English.
