 - A glorious concert!This Gala Concert was performed on June 1, 2003 celebrating 300 years of St. Petersburg in the Grand Hall of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra. It is a glorious performance lasting nearly two hours with some solos by Anna Netrebko, soprano, and Dmitri Hvorostovsky, baritone. The St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra is a joy to hear. Some of the pieces are those composed by well known composers, although I am not acquainted with some of the other composers. A truly wonderful experience to enjoy the beautiful music and singing. Rating: - SuperbThis is one of those DVDs you can play over and over again. A real gala concert showing Russian performers at its best. Worthwhile buying. Additionally, the images and sound are excelent. A delight to eyes and ears. Rating: - An outstandng concertThis was an outstanding concert. The selections were varied, and the orchestra and all the soloists were outstanding. Although it included several compositions I don't like, I even found them very enjoyable. Rating: - Perfectly lovelyI came across Anna Netrebko through her association with Rolando Villazón and was enchanted. She never disappoints, and I cannot hear or see too much of her. Rating: - Fantastic Concert This is a simply fantastic concert. I recommend it to everyone. The singing is divine and the music too. Get a glass of champagne and sit in front of your TV, what a pleasure !
