My favorite music DVD

"I watched this DVD for the first time with some friends, and we were all reduced to ooohs and aaahhs. Placido Domingo brings out the best in everyone, and he sings at the end. The interviews with Placido Domingo and Sarah Chang, and behind the scenes documentary are also interesting. I hope there will be more DVDs featuring Sarah Chang. Her music can fill my soul with joy, and I hope that it will do the same for you."
Una Noche Festiva

"This Berlin Philharmonic Waldbuhne concert from 2001 has almost everything you could desire in Spanish music (Falla's El Amor Brujo and Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez would have been nice if there were no time constraints). Placido Domingo was the genial host and conductor/singer. Puerto Rican soprano Ana Maria Martinez was terrific and Korean-American violinist Sarah Chang played a hot violin.
The orchestra played two of my favorite works: Chabrier's Espana and Rimsky-Korsakov's Capriccio Espanol.
This DVD provided 102 minutes of pure pleasure. I can't wait until Latin American Night comes out (11/17/09)."
Simply the greastest classical musical inspired in Spain

"I cannot stop watching this DVD every time I put it on my player. I adore Ana Maria Martinez and her great coloratura voice when she sings zarzuela (Spanish opera) and Sara Chang... Well, she is simply the best fiddler when it comes to fiery music (a lot of vibrato) like the one presented on this disc (with the exception of the encore MASSENET: MEDITATION FROM THE OPERA THAIS)... I hope someday this DVD (no regional code... thank you) will be issued in Blu Ray format."
This was a first!

"She is beautiful and amazing! My husband brought it home from the library
and played it over and over and over. First time he had ever done that with
any CD. I bought it for him for Christmas."
