The fitting backdrop of Leipzig's Market Square played host to a venerable array of talent on June 15, 2002, as many musicians from classical and world music backgrounds gathered to perform. Among the eclectic lineup were British violinist and self-styled bad-boy of classical music Nigel Kennedy; the uniquely soulful voicalist of Don't Worry Be Happy infamy, Bobby McFerrin; The Kuumba Singers; Sibylla Rubens; and many others. Designed as a celebration of music, the concert unfolds in wonderful style, giving the 20,000-strong crowd plenty of sounds to rejoice in, and illustrating how it is possible to tear down some of the boundaries that keep differing musical styles apart.DVD Features:Region 0Audio: PCM Stereo - Natural sound/Music, English Dolby Digital 5.1 - Natural sound/Music, English DTS 5.1 - Natural sound/Music, English Subtitles - English, German, French, Italian, Spanish - OptionalInteractive Features: Scene SelectionAdditional Product: Booklet in English, German, French - Track Listing, Liner Notes, DVD Credits
