Summary of Birthday Concert for Pope Benedict XVI [DVD Video]

Filmed at the Vatican on April 16, 2007, this DVD reproduces the concert that formed the centerpiece of Pope Benedict XVI's 80th-birthday celebrations. Also included are the welcoming speeches and the Pope's words of thanks. The concert program, in part selected by the music-loving Pontiff himself, brings together two of classical music's brightest young stars for their first joint appearance-- American violinist Hilary Hahn and the young Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel, who was recently appointed Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Mozart's sparkling G major Violin Concerto and Dvor???k's stirring "New World" Symphony are two of classical music's best-loved masterpieces, neither of which had been recorded before by these artists. Their performances here received high critical acclaim in the press. This is a must-have memento for all admirers of Pope Benedict and a valuable musical document in its own right-- a DVD with great potential appeal to non-Catholic as well as Catholic music lovers, and to followers of the Holy Father who may otherwise have no connections to the classical music world.
