2004 releases...

Kathleen Ferrier - An Ordinary Diva...It's about the British contralto who died from cancer in 1953 and, like Maria Callas, could project a complete emotional world in a single melodic line.Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg is Wagner's only comedy, a Wagner opera that will appeal to many who don't usually care for Wagner operas. It is handsomely staged by the Australian Opera in a witty, musically polished interpretation.It took a visionary American lady to bring this monumental Russian work to the stage, ironically in Paris of all places. The result was glorious. Francesca Zambello pulled off the very difficult task of staging an opera like this spectacularly.Voices of our Time - Felicity Lott / Graham Johnson, Chatelet Opera

YOUNG PEOPLE'S CONCERTS (CBS-TV)

Leonard Bernstein earned glory as a composer, conductor, and pianist (classical and jazz), but nothing gave him more pleasure than the joy of teaching.
He presented the unique blend of spoken words and music known as the "Young People's Concerts" throughout his tenure as music director of the New York Philharmonic.
Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts with the New York Philharmonic are now available on DVD.
