Jeremy Summerly and his Oxford Schola Cantorum is beautifully paced and the calibre of the singing itself is very impressive indeed, as is the Naxos recording. …the singing is unique: forthright, direct, fresh, recorded quite ‘tight’ and making this 17th-century music as emotive as possible.

Perhaps better known to most as a successful New Zealand, (and NZ's most successful band and hugely popular in NZ and Australia) new wave act from the early 1980s. Split Enz did in fact start life as a prog band formed in 1972 originally spelt Split Ends (the spelling changed to Enz when the band left New Zealand), by friends at Auckland University Phil Judd (Guitar, vocals) and Brian (Tim) Finn (Vocals, piano, guitar), who had an inspired period of song writing together. Their early sound was a mixture of vaudeville and influences of the Beatles, Genesis, Yes, Roxy Music, Jethro Tull and Gentle Giant. Tim's singing style was influenced a little by Brian Ferry while Phil Judd by Roger Chapman of Family.

Qui n'a jamais vécu un chagrin d'amour ? Du jour au lendemain, tout s'écroule : on n'imagine pas survivre sans l'autre, l'horizon s'obscurcit, la vie n'a plus de saveur… La rupture amoureuse est l'une des expériences les plus éprouvantes traversées dans une vie. …

Fruit du doux délire d'un théoricien anarchiste des années 1930, une utopie affective et sexuelle dont la charge subversive demeure intacte, à l'heure d'une sexualité coincée entre marchandisation du sexe et sacralisation du couple. …

Si le mal d'amour a toujours existé, il y a une manière spécifiquement moderne d'aimer et de souffrir de l'amour, que ce livre entend éclairer. A partir de nombreux témoignages et d'exemples issus de la culture populaire, Eva Illouz dresse le portrait de l'individu contemporain et de son rapport à l'amour, ainsi que des pathologies qui lui sont associées (…)
