A Verdi Gala From Berlin [DVD] [2000]

The Berlin Philharmonic, led by maestro Claudio Abbado, commemorates the 100th anniversary of Giuseppe Verdi's passing by performing portions of his greatest work. This DVD captures that very special evening. The disc offers a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.78:1. Italian soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Stereo. English subtitles are accessible. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence, but classical music enthusiasts should greatly enjoy this wonderful sounding title from Image.
