Written just before his death, Mozart's THE MAGIC FLUTE provides a highly entertaining operatic drama that follows the efforts of Tamino (Piotr Beczala) to rescue the beautiful Pamina (Malin Hartelius), the daughter of the forbidding Queen of Night (Elena Mosuc). Armed only with a magic flute, Tamino makes his way to Pamina, but with great risk to his own life. This 2000 Zurich Opera production, directed by Jonathan Miller, with set designs by Philip Prowse, sets the opera in 1791, at the time of Mozart's original creation, shortly after the French Revolution.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep Case

Duck Baker is widely heralded as a virtuosic guitar player. A musician capable of displaying a broad range of styles and techniques, Baker moves easily between jazz, ragtime, blues, and Celtic music. Most people who have seen him play agree that there is a unique quality about him that goes beyond his masterful talent. It is this spirit, combined with his far-reaching knowledge of guitar and his innovative nature, that renders him an excellent teacher. This exceptional tutorial takes two standards of swing music Sweet Georgia Brown and Georgia On My Mind, and uses them as a basis for introducing improvisation techniques, expanding the intermediate student's understanding of fingerstyle jazz guitar in an invaluable way. Duck lends his strong grasp of guitar to the material as he presents multiple chord shapes, hot licks, and musical ideas, demonstrating ways of developing improvisations and variations over chord progressions and melodies. His teaching methods are both challenging and truly exciting in a way that the avid pupil should appreciate.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33
