A DVD TO BE HEARD AND NOT SEEN.......2005-06-11

The entire TV production crew should have been fired after the taping of this concert. The evidence is in 80% of the video. I've never seen so many technical people intruding on a concert. Every close-up of the conductor showed TV crew beyond him -- eating snacks, chewing gum, talking and daydreaming. Whenever the camera was trained on Montserrat Marti, you saw more technical people beyond her. When the camera pulled back to show the entire orchestra and chorus, there were giant shadows on the walls of the cathedral from crewmembers walking around in front of the TV lights.

It gets one star as a DVD. If it were being judged for just the music, it should have four stars. It's worth the price just for the wonderful mother-daughter duet (Montserrat Caballe and Montserrat Marti) on "Leise Rieselt Der Schnee." Luckily, you can listen to the audio without the video.
