Popular Gospel singer Bishop Larry D. Trotter, known as
Gospel`s inspirational bishop,
delivers another moving performance backed by his Sweet Holy Spirit Choir. Songs from their first two albums, such as
Trouble Don`t Last
and
My Worship is For Real,
are still in heavy rotation by Gospel stations, but nonetheless the group has outdone themselves once again, with their characteristically huge sound and uplifting lyrics. The Stella Award-nominated Bishop`s motivating ministry is felt front and center, as he is the featured vocalist on a few of the songs, and the Chicago-based group reinforces its massive appeal with their mastery of traditional choir music.

A priceless classic, MY FAIR LADY has become one of the most popular musicals of all time. Based on George Bernard Shaw's 1913 play PYGMALION, the film swept the Academy Awards. Cecil Beaton's lavish sets and costumes and Lerner and Loewe's winning score became the background for George Cukor's striking mix of styles that ranged from the fantastic to the abstract in his telling of the tale of a waif who's educated into being a lady. Egotistical linguist Professor Henry Higgins (Oscar-winning Rex Harrison) bets his friend, Colonel Hugh Pickering (Wilfrid Hyde-White), that he can transform Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn) in time for an important society ball. His gamble could pay off--but the spirited Eliza is more of a handful than the Professor could have predicted. As she slowly becomes more refined, and less reliant upon him, Higgins realizes, to his confusion, that he can't live without her. The film was nominated for 12 Oscars and won eight, including Best Picture and Director.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFeature-Length Audio Commentary by Involved ParticipantsBehind-the-Scenes Documentary: The Fairest LadyAlternate Audrey Hepburn Vocals ofShow Me andWouldn't It Be Lovely?Interactive MenusProduction Notes4 Theatrical TrailersScene Access

Widely remembered as the composer of one of the most popular operas of all time, CARMEN, Georges Bizet was also responsible for this lesser-known gem. Written when he was only 25, the work was not well-recieved upon its initial performance in 1863, but has since come to be appreciated for its beauty and orchestral subtlety. The libretto deals with two men, King Zurga of Ceylon and his friend Nadir, who are both in love with a high priestess, Leila. Though each claim to be over Leila, when Nadir recognizes her in the temple he cannot deny his feelings, which are returned; though she has vowed celibacy, they meet in secret, and are discovered. The jealous Zurga condemns Leila to death, but when he realizes she intervened on his behalf years ago, he changes his mind with catastophic results. This production of the only Bizet opera to remain in the repertoire was performed in Venice, with an extraordinary Annick Massis as Leila, while the staging was executed by Pier Luigi Pizzi. Highlights of the show include Leila's aria, Comme autrefois, dans la nuit sombre, and the stunning duet between Leila and Nadir, Ton coeur n'a pas compris le mien.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseAnamorphic WidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 Linear PCM 2.0
