Review: Lennox Campello - art critic

"I have listened to this recording several times and have found it to be quite hypnotic and mesmerizing. It is very well done and its message is clear and to the point."

Kathleen Notman delivers this speech with passion. Little wonder, therefore, this recording is described as inspirational ... indeed testimony to the message it conveys. After researching the lives and work of many truly great artists, Notman discovered they all had one thing in common. Whether they were musicians, writers, painters ... they were all driven by their emotions.

Yet how does emotion enhance creativity? While Notman's findings are empirical, some scientists endorse what she has discovered. Emotions are the nexus between mind and body. Notman quotes some amazing examples of artists whom we know used their emotions to create truly great art yet at the time, little was known about emotion. It was thought to be "a feeling".

This speech is indeed inspirational. One is lured back to hear the voice and the message it delivers.

(First recorded in 1999. Second edition 2008. The voice is non-Regional English.)
