Brilliant!
This DVD is a treasure. Perhaps one of the best productions ever. Terrific cast, great direction, wonderful music interpretation, great acting and singing. I am personally quite taken with some of the Met productions I've seen, but this is right up there with them, and ...
A Carnegie Hall Christmas Concert / Frederica von Stade, Kathleen Battle, Wynton Marsalis

Angel Voices
The stars must have been aligned perfectly, all must have been right with the world on that night of December 8, 1991 in NYC's Carnegie Hall when this Christmas concert was filmed, because it is an example, one of those rare instances when everything falls into place ...

Knockout Concert
This DVD can be described with one word: wow! The sound is incredible, the performances are of the highest caliber and, visually, the concert is breath-taking. Watching the chemistry between Martha Argerich and Claudio Abbado is wonderful - they have so much fun ...

A Must-own for any opera fan
I first watched this gala a decade ago when it first aired on PBS. I was smart enough to tape the whole thing then, and those tapes got watched many many times over the next few years. I was in highschool then, and, after leaving home for college, have not had many ...

Fun for all ages
Despite the fairy tale title, this particular opera is fun for all ages. We think it is the best Rossini opera, and Von Stade is the perfect Cinderella. Our only objection is that the the voices are synched to the singers, but this is a necessay thing for 'movie' ...

Reverent Mozart from Bernstein
Leonard Bernstein rests some 500 meters from my window. Often, while watching him conduct this superb program of Mozart's Sacred music (filmed scant months before he passed away in 1990), I felt a palpable presence peering over my shoulder. "Just checking on how I'm ...

Mozart's Grand Opera is a superb show
Following Mozart's final youthful opera, Il re pastore, which was composed in 1775 (see the fine new DVD performance from Salzburg conducted by Neville Marriner), Mozart received no new operatic commissions (other than the fragment Zaide) until 1780-81. He spent those ...

WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO BE FLICKA. . .
traipsing about the quaint little old world town of St. Wolfgang, Austria, feasting on sweets, dancing with the locals at the tavern, singing and dancing to Christmas songs with two nice kids in tow. This isn't an exciting program, but it's a lot like the Christmas ...

Mormon Tabernacle, 2004
A Stunning Performance
This DVD is an almost complete recording of of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Chistmas Concert from Dec 2003. I went on the first night and was so taken by the performances that I returned for the next evenings performance and the Sunday morning shortened version for ...

Gorgeous Music and a Charming Story
This is the Metropolitan Opera's grand production of Hansel and Gretel, starring Julith Blegen and Frederica von Stade. It is absolutely a delight to the eyes and ears, and is so deliciously done, you can almost smell the gingerbread and taste the witch's candy ...
