Movie Reviews of Mozart - Great Mass in C Minor/ Ave Verum Corpus/ Exsultate Jubilate
Movie Review: Perfection
Summary: 5 Stars
I love music. But I am not a musician, nor a music expert by any stretch of the imagination, and so the other reviewers here have written about this event more eloquently, and with far more authority than I could ever claim. All that I could add is that this is one of the most divine musical experiences I have seen, ever. Only those without the merest trace of spirituality in them can possibly not be moved by this. To me, this is musical perfection.
I bought the DVD primarily for the Ave Verum Corpus, which I regard as one of the most beautiful pieces of music Mozart ever wrote, but the entire experience is absolutely captivating - the Great Mass as performed here is certainly better than any recording of it I own. And Arleen Auger and Leonard Bernstein, both of whom are sadly no longer amongst us, perform with joy and dignity - perfection!
The setting is divine, the DTS soundtrack is fabulous, the video quality is good, not spectacular but certainly does not detract anything from the experience. Simple opening scenes showing the basilica in the Bavarian countryside, and revered silence throughout, even when the performance is over. The camera work throughout is splendid. Recommended without the slightest reservation.
