Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)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 their Music and The SPoken Word Broadcast.
All I can say is that this is a MUST HAVE DVD for the Christmas Season. Bryn Terfel and Frederica Von Stade were the guest soloists with the choir, and Bryn Terfel was simply stunning. A highlight of the concert (although it is difficult to choose) is when Mr. Terfel sang SUO GAN. It was breathtakingly beautiful. In fact the person who was with me at the concert cried upon hearing it. The Choir also does a traditional African folk song which must be seen to be believed. It was just one of those amazing experiences.
An added treat is the brief interviews with Bryn Terfel, Frederica Von Stade, and Craig Jessop and Mack Wilberg. It is refreshing to hear world class artists speak not only about music, but of their personal feelings regarding Christmas itself, and about performing this wonderful program. It left me even more impressed with the performers than before (if that is possible)
I was fortunate to purchase this item at its pre release discounted price, but it is easily worth the cost which is now being asked.
Buy this disk you wont be disappointed.
