"This is a beautiful concert by Jose Carreras who I greatly admire. I watch and listen to this dvd and every time I enjoy it more and more. The songs are enchanting, and the orchestra and conductor are fascinating. This dvd is a treat for all of us who are Jose Carreras fans. I do have a complaint, and it is that the cd version is not available and I can't listen to the concert in my car. I had this dvd for a long time and nothing out there compares to it."

Doesn't do the Maestro justice, but still beautiful.

"What's good about this DVD: Adorable Jose, gorgeous scenery of Rome, the interview w/Jose, and the beautiful Japanese song he sings.(You don't have to understand it to thrill to it!)
What's not good about this DVD: the music usually isn't in sync w/his mouth, (the technician's fault) & they add an over-powering rock beat to the maestro's voice in many of the songs. (An untrained voice sometimes needs this to distract from the poor sound quality with which it sings, but Carreras certainly does not need - or benefit from - this beat.)
What's weird about this DVD: It was made by germans, but our star does't sing one song in that language!
Conclusion: If you adore Jose Carreras as I do, you'll probably want this, along with every other piece of work the man's ever done; but, buy everything else first, then this."
