One of Italy's greatest musical minds, Guiseppe Verdi, was considered to write operas that reflected the national spirit and soul of the Italian people. His 1842 epic, NABUCCO, tells the story of Hebrew slaves and their oppression by the tyrannical Babylonians. An inspiring tale of liberation, NABUCCO is staged here at Europe's annual Open-Air Festival. A lavish and wildly expensive production, this staging of classic Verdi was a critical and popular success.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Single SideSingle LayerAudio: Dolby Digital 2.0 Dolby Digital 5.1Additional Release Material: Production Interviews Making-ofText/Photo Galleries: Additional Text - Synopses in six languages

Composers such as Beethoven and Dvorak have produced a body of work that stands among the very best in the classical music genre. Their works have been interpreted in so many ways by so many different orchestras that it is impossible to conceive of anyone coming along and deposing them from their lofty perch at the top of the classical music tree. Here, the Berlin Philharmonic offers up their wind ensemble, who work their way through Dvorak's Wind Serenade, op. 44 and Beethoven's Wind Octet, op. 103 with consummate ease and professionalism.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: PCM Stereo - Natural sound/MusicChapters: 1.
