Advantages: Bonney's gorgeous voice; intelligent singing; great selection of songs Disadvantages: No translations included
When you think of female opera singers, chances are you get an image in your head of a 20 stone monster wearing a Viking helmet and shattering glass as she screeches a note only audible to the neighbourhood cats. But luckily this stereotype is becoming very outdated as singers like BarbaraBonney bring a fresh sound to classical singing. Bonney has a refreshing lightness and silvery tone to her soprano voice, but unlike singers like Emma Kirkby who specialise in early music, her voice possesses a lovely warmth.

Advantages: Good introduction Disadvantages: Doesn't last long

Anyway, after getting a free 10-minute Barbara Currie video with a magazine which whet my apetite, I thought i'd give this video a try.
Barbara herself talks you through the poses as she does them. There are also 2 of her 'students' standing behind her, one demonstrating the beginners level of each posture and the other what you can achieve when you are more advanced.
The workout is set in a light airy studio with soft, relaxing music in the background. Barbara is very calming to listen to, she has a light lilting voice that talks you through everthing slowly. The emphasis is very much on taking things at your own pace and level. The video is ...
