Mozart - Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro)

Hermann Prey, Mirella Freni

Polygram Video, 1991

better than I could ever have hoped
I am not a great opera fan, but I love Mozart and really wanted to hear the whole Marriage of Figaro beyond the too-familiar overture. I read the reviews on this one and it seemed more like a movie than a Brunhilda endurathon. BOY DID I FIND A GOOD ONE! If ratings ...

Mozart - The Magic Flute

Jerker Arvidson, Jane Darling

Homevision, 1995

Magical
This is not exactly a movie and not exactly a documentary, but a bit of each blended to create a unique film. You will see and hear a wonderful rendition of Mozart's The Magic Flute, sung in Swedish, as presented at the Royal Dramatic Theater in Stockholm, and you also ...

Mozart - Don Giovanni / Siepi

Mozart, Siepi

Video Artists Int'l, 1999

This Production is from the 1950's
The acting is the strong point of this version of Don Giovanni. The real trouble is that though the singing seems quite well done, particularly the male roles, the sound quality is really poor. It is probably worth watching just to see the excellient way Siepi plays ...

Mozart - Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) / Haitink, Finley, Hagley, Fleming, Glyndebourne ...

Gerald Finley, Alison Hagley

Kultur Video, 1999

Terrific Figaro
I really enjoyed this version of "Le Nozze Di Figaro". The cast is superb and all wonderful actors. Alison Hagley and Gerald Finley are excellent as Susanna and Figaro. The divine Renee Fleming shines as the Countess with her dramatic ability and that creamy voice. ...

Balanchine: Dance in America - Tzigane/Andante from Divertimento No. 15/The Four Temperaments

Balanchine, Ravel

Elektra / Wea, 1995

A perfect introduction to Balanchine
This is definitely one of my favorite ballet videos. It showcases some of the NY City Ballet's greatest stars, including Suzanne Farrell, Peter Martins, Merrill Ashley, Daniel Duell, Adam Luders, and Colleen Neary. It is a triple bill of ballets which are widely varied ...

Video Soup: Mozart Nature Symphonies

Mozart Nature Symphonies, Video Soup

Tapeworm Video, 2000

The Best Nature Video I Have Ever Seen
This is not just a kid's video. Every adult I show it to is mesmerised as well from beginning to end. It has some of the most beautiful and unusual footage of animals that I have ever seen. Not only will your kids love, you will too. I also recommend Nature Babies ...

Baby Mozart

Walt Disney Video, 2002

Life Saver
This product was recommended to me by my cousin. It has been well worth the $15-and then some. My son loves it-and has loved it since he was 3 months old. He's now 11 months and will still sit & watch it. I actually enjoy watching it myself-it's very intriguing. ...

Mozart: Requiem

Cecilia Bartoli, Arleen Auger

Polygram Video, 1992

One of the best conceived tributes ever to appear
Almost ten years ago, the Vienna Philarmonic Chorus and Orchestra came together in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, to perform Mozart's "Requiem." The occasion was broadcast live in the UK, and I am very glad to see that it has also been released on video. The story of ...

Mozart - Idomeneo / Ponnelle, Levine, The Metropolitan Opera

Luciano Pavarotti, Ileana Cotrubas

Paramount, 1992

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 ...

Mozart: Don Giovanni (Complete Opera) from Salzburg Festival 1987 - Karajan, Ramey, Tomowa-Sintow, ...

W.a. Mozart

Sony Music Dist., 1994

The Best Don Giovanni by far
This is, by far, my favorite video of Don Giovanni. It is not perfect. I like Donna Anna and Leporello better in the Benjamin Luxon version, and Kiri Te Kanawa is definitely my favorite Elvira. However, Samuel Ramey is the only baritone I've seen who makes the role of ...

The Abduction from the Seraglio
W.a. Mozart

View Video, 1996

Mozart was barely 26 years of age when he composed The Abduction, during one of the happiest times of his short life. Very much in love with Konstanze Weber, he married her just three weeks after the opera's premiere. The first name of his fiancé was also the name of the heroine of the opera. The delight in his life is reflected in the music, ...

Biography - Mozart

Biography

A&E Home Video, 1996

THE HEART IS WHERE HIS MUSIC LAY
Born into a family surrounded by music, Mozart was like many of today prodiges, with one exception... he excelled at what he did inspite of his father's ruthless treatment and pursued music because he truly felt it with his soul. Beautiful footage, historically ...

Requiem From Sarajevo

Mozart, Carreras

A&E Home Video, 1996

Mozart: Requiem from Sarajevo DVD
It's not about the music, Dummy. I found this to be one of the most dramatic examples of courage and the human spirit - related to the arts - that I have ever seen! To just imagine the evil of their situation in Sarajevo 1994, a city that less than a decade earlier had ...
