1951年10月2日，在英国英格兰Northumberland郡的Wallsend市的Sumner家出生了一名男婴，他被取名叫做Gordon，Gordon Matthew Sumner，他就是后来大名鼎鼎的流行乐巨星Sting。自从1977年在英国伦敦，Sting和Stewart Copeland一起组建了成就辉煌的警察乐队(The Police)以来，他们迅速成为了英国最成功的乐队之一，Sting本人也成为了英国最受欢迎的男歌手之一，同时他的创作才能也被同行们所称道。在新浪潮音乐时期，Sting和警察乐队不仅在英国取得了成功而且还在大西洋彼岸的美国取得了同样伟大的成就。 　　在1985年警察乐队正式宣布解散以后，Sting就开始了令他更为辉煌的单飞生涯，此时，他的音乐风格也从后朋克时代的新浪潮风格开始发生转变。其实早在警察乐队正式解散前的1982年，他就曾经自己主创过一张电影原声《Brimstone And Treacle》，并且从1984年开始他就开始筹划录制自己的第一张个人专辑《The Dream of the Blue Turtles》，随后这张专辑在1985年正式发行。在这张专辑中，他邀请了大批爵士乐艺人参与录制，在当时看来，Sting的这份基于爵士乐的流行音乐转变似乎有些突然，但是这却成为了一张非常畅销的专辑，并且在美国也取得了非常出色的成绩，专辑成为Billboard 200排行榜亚军，并且共有三首单曲成为了排行榜的前十名。 　　随后的Sting开始了大范围的巡回演唱会，并且录制成为了电影和一张双CD的现场专辑，并且在1986年的时候发行，名字都叫做《Bring On The Night》。随后警察乐队重新回到了一起，但是这次重聚显然是非常短暂和失败的。在这之后，更激励了Sting的工作热情，他开始了献给他已故母亲的专辑《Nothing Like the Sun》的制作，在这张专辑中他又和前警察乐队吉他手Andy Summers进行了合作，并于1987年发行了这张同样成功的专辑。之后的日子，Sting并没有立即展开大规模的演唱会，而是转而投身公益事业，他为拯救埃塞俄比亚饥饿人口而多次举行义演，以及为许多公益组织做宣传，并且亲自创立了一个关于保护巴西热带雨林的基金会。1988年，Sting发行了西班牙语专辑《Nada Como el Sol》，这是在《Nothing Like the Sun》的基础上编辑而成的。 　　后来，父亲的去世再次刺激了Sting，他获取灵感，并创作了于1991年发行的专辑《The Soul Cages》，这张略带沉重和阴暗的专辑在美国依然获得了成功，同样排名Billboard排行榜亚军。1993年，Sting发行了最成功的流行乐专辑《Ten Summoner&#39s Tales》，这时的他已经完全从新浪潮摇滚歌星转变为成人流行乐歌手，1993年末，他和Rod Stewart以及Bryan Adams合唱的单曲《All for Love》 成为了冠军，这被认为是他转型成功的标志。此后，他又于1996年发行了专辑《Mercury Falling》，1999年的《Brand New Day》，虽然在英国和世界其他地区都受到了很大的欢迎，但是在美国本土都没有取得像过去那样的辉煌，但是这丝毫没有影响Sting在世界上的受欢迎程度。2003年9月30日，Sting发行了新专辑《Sacred Love》。 　　在Sting所有的的作品中，他的歌词不仅优美，而且富有思想和深度，并且从来都是敢怒敢言，毫无忌讳。在离开警察乐队和结束了新浪潮风格以后，原本是贝斯手的Sting拿起了吉他，他的音乐也逐渐转变得更为流行。他的音乐风格受到了爵士乐很大的影响，他年轻的时候就经常演奏爵士乐，不同的是他敢于大胆的实验融合，在Sting的音乐中融合了古典和其他许多不同风格音乐的特点，他把这些音乐元素流行化，并且融合表现在自己的音乐中，从而自成一派。事实上，在他准备离开事业辉煌的警察乐队进一步寻求发展属于自己的音乐的时候，Sting是冒了相当大的风险的。 　　作为一名伟大的艺术家，Sting个人迄今为止一共获得过九尊格莱美奖杯。第一次获奖是在1984年，在1983年度的第26届格莱美颁奖典礼上，Sting凭借《Brimstone And Treacle》获得了最佳摇滚乐器表演奖(Best Rock Instrumental Performance)。三年后的1987年，第29届格莱美颁奖中，Sting又凭借录影带《Bring On The Night》获得了最佳音乐录影带长片奖(Best Music Video，Long Form)。1988年初，在第30届格莱美颁奖中，Sting凭借《Bring On The Night》第一次获得了最佳流行男歌手奖(Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male)。1991年度的34届格莱美颁奖中，Sting凭借单曲《Soul Cages》获得了最佳摇滚歌曲奖(Best Rock Song)。1993年度第36届格莱美颁奖中，Sting凭借《Ten Summoner&#39s Tales》和《If I Ever Lose My Faith In You》分别获得了最佳音乐录影带长片奖和最佳流行男歌手奖，而且，凭借《Ten Summoner&#39s Tales》，工程师Hugh Padgham还获得了最佳非古典录音工程专辑奖(Best Engineered Album - Non-Classical)。1999年度的第42届格莱美颁奖中，Sting凭借专辑《Brand New Day》获得了最佳流行专辑奖(Best Pop Album)，专辑的同名单曲《Brand New Day》还使他获得了最佳流行男歌手奖。最近一次获奖是在2001年，在2000年度的第43届格莱美颁奖中，凭借单曲《She Walks This Earth (Soberana Rosa)》，Sting第四次获得了最佳流行男歌手奖。此外，他和他所在的The Police乐队，还曾经获得过六次格莱美奖，包括三次最佳摇滚乐队奖(Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal)，两次最佳摇滚乐器表演奖，以及一次年度最佳单曲奖(Song Of The Year)，而这首获奖单曲《Every Breath You Take》的词曲作者都是Sting一个人。 　　Tracklist: 　　1.A Thousand Years 　　2.Every Little Thing She Does is MagicЃЁ Preview 　　3.Englishman in New York 　　4.Roxanne 　　5.When We Dance 　　6.Russians 　　7.I Hung My Head 　　8.Why Should I Cry For You? 　　9.Whenever I Say Your Name 　　10.This Cowboy Song 　　11.Tomorrow We&#39ll See 　　12.Moon Over Bourbon Street 　　13.The End of the Game 　　14.You Will Be My Ain True Love 　　15.All Would Envy 　　16.Mad About You 　　17.King of Pain18.Every Breath You Take 　　18.Desert Rose 　　19.She&#39s Too Good For Me 　　20.Fragile 　　21.I Was Brought to my Senses (Intro)

根据《星期日泰晤士报》报道,伦敦奥运会的开幕式将重现一些历史场景,并以“甲壳虫”乐队的老歌“Hey Jude(嘿,裘德)”结束。 　　7月27日晚上9点,一口欧洲最大的钟将被敲响,奥运开幕式就此开始。钟上刻着莎士比亚名著《暴风雨》中的句子“不必害怕,岛上已满是声音”。 　　开幕式的主题援引《暴风雨》,被定为“奇妙岛屿”。体育场将被变成英国乡村,演员们将把真实的牛羊带到绿茵茵的草地上,向观众展现一幅田园牧歌的画面。 　　此后,人们将还原1948年一批移民从西印度群岛乘“帝国疾风号”来到英国开始新生活的场景,以及女性是如何争取选举权的历史。 　　另外,开幕式还将重现1936年200多名史称“加罗十字军”的来自英格兰东北部的工人徒步到伦敦议会大楼抗议的历史镜头。1936年正值全球经济大萧条,这些人抗议的是贫穷以及高达70%的失业率。 　　《星期日泰晤士报》称,开幕式导演、曾执导过《贫民窟的百万富翁》的丹尼·博伊尔的这一做法对于目前正处于经济危机中的全球来讲很有象征意义。开幕式演出的一个高潮是悬挂于观众头顶的五个巨大的圆环在烟火中慢慢叠到一起,组成奥运五环的标志,随后发出光芒。 　　流行音乐的常青树、“甲壳虫”前主唱保罗·麦卡特尼将用一首“Hey Jude”结束整晚的演出,届时现场6万名观众将和他一起合唱,告诉人们要让世界“变得更好”。 　　伦敦奥运会开幕式时长为3小时,耗资2700万英镑(约合人民币2.69亿元)。英国女王伊丽莎白二世与100多位国家元首将出席开幕式,10亿名电视观众将观看直播。

Exploring the role and symbolic meaning of the Crown Jewels in the centuries-old coronation ceremony, The Coronation shows these objects of astonishing beauty in new high-resolution footage. The film tells the extraordinary story of St Edward&#39s Crown, which was destroyed after the English Civil War and remade for the Coronation of Charles II in 1661. It has only been worn by Her Majesty once, at the moment she was crowned. 　　On 2 June 1953, on one of the coldest June days of the century and after 16 months of planning, The Queen set out from Buckingham Palace to be crowned at Westminster Abbey, watched by millions of people throughout the world. A ceremony dating back more than a thousand years was to mark the dawn of a new Elizabethan age. 　　Viewing both private and official film footage, The Queen recalls the day when the weight of both St Edward&#39s Crown and the hopes and expectations of a country recovering from war were on her shoulders, as the nation looked to their 27 year-old Queen to lead them into a new era. 　　In the film, The Queen says: 「I&#39ve seen one Coronation, and been the recipient in the other, which is pretty remarkable.」 　　For audiences unfamiliar with the story of the Crown Jewels and the regalia, the film explains their contemporary relevance to the UK as a nation and to the enduring purpose and the work of monarchy. They are symbols of the relationship between the Sovereign and the people, and the duties and responsibilities of leadership. 　　The film also features eyewitness accounts of those who participated in the 1953 Coronation, including a maid of honour who nearly fainted in the Abbey, and a 12 year-old choirboy who was left to sing solo when his overwhelmed colleagues lost their voices.

Jane Austen remains one of the greatest writers of all time. Almost two hundred years after her death, her novels such as “Pride and Prejudice” and “Mansfield Park” continue to entrance generations of readers the world over. This film shatters any assumption that Austen herself lived the elegant Regency life of her financially comfortable heroines who ultimately find their true love. 　　Instead it reveals the real Jane Austen as part of strata of Regency society much crueller in its treatment of women and harsher in its economic realities than her novels and their current television adaptations convey. And it discovers a woman more tragic in her own personal love life who does not enjoy the “happy ending” that she bestows upon her own female characters. 　　Through readings and dramatic reconstructions, The Real Jane Austen pieces together the reality of Austen’s existence her modest upbringing in Hampshire as one of seven children of a clergyman her disappointment in love and the family’s poverty following the death of her father. 　　Through her writing Jane found financial independence without having to marry. Tragically only four years later in July 1817 while writing “Persuasion” Jane Austen died. 　　Filmed in locations associated with Austen including Jane’s birth place of Steventon and her later home in Chawton, and illustrated with extracts from film and television adaptations of Austen’s work, The Real Austen paints a vivid portrait of one of the greatest talents in English literature.

英国的盎格鲁撒克逊时代，对所有人来说都是一个神秘的时代，它确确实实的存在过，却又在诺曼人入侵之后销声匿迹，没有留下曾经存在过的痕迹。这个曾经辉煌一时的部落时代，给我们留下大量的历史宝藏，这些宝藏以其精美的工艺令后世惊叹，令我们膜拜不已。但正是这样一个文化，却又没有留下什么文字记录，只有一首战歌留存世上： 　　战马骑手今何在？ 　　王者去何方？ 　　华堂宝座今何在？ 　　盛宴去何方？ 　　啊 葡萄美酒夜光杯！ 　　啊 金鳞盔甲英雄配！ 　　啊 人民百姓尊荣贵！

According to Giorgio Vasari, the first art historian, the Renaissance was centred on a revival of interest in classical art that began and flourished in Italy. Waldemar disagrees, and accuses Vasari of errant jingoism. In fact, the most significant early developments in Renaissance art took place not in Italy, but in the ‘barbarian’ lands of Flanders and Germany. Instead of understanding the Renaissance as a return to classical models, we should see it as a climax of medieval values - an epoch of huge religious passions and powerful human emotions. 　　The series will celebrate material that is new to television. Waldemar will include art that is not usually thought of as Renaissance art. This will involve &#39re-classifying&#39 what is sometimes called Late Gothic, and showing it off as a marvellous and native artistic tradition, particularly in the remarkable field of polychrome sculpture. On top of all the new art to be introduced, Waldemar will also look from fresh and intriguing angles at many of the established Renaissance giants, including Michelangelo in the Vatican, Leonardo in the Louvre, Botticelli in the Uffizi and Van Eyck in Ghent.
