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.

Among the first of the Romantic composers, Franz Shubert's prolific output was under-appreciated during his lifetime, due to his harmonically untraditional and thoroughly innovative sound. ALFONSO UND ESTRELLA was no exception; finished in 1922, it was not performed until 1854, upon the insistence of Franz Liszt. The opera is a story about the love of Alfonso and Estrella, which is threatened by advances, both military and amorous, of Alfonso's rival Adolfo. Soprano Eva Mei's pure, clean interpretation of the multiple beautiful arias of the opera is stunning and affecting. This exceptionally creative opera is representative of the work of one of the most adept composers of the lied, as well as the characteristic sound of the Romantic period.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseAnamorphic WidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 DTS PCM Stereo ODS
