 Rating:  - Opposite PolesGet this DVD and also the Julie Taymore "Oedipus Rex" and you have two opposite poles of the mind and music of Stravinsky as well as the power of filmed stage opera and opera just for film.

This performance is a bit difficult to understand and I would suggest that reading the Hans Christian Anderson Fairy ... Read More Rating: - Five stars don't do this one justice! Brilliant!This DVD is an excellent example of what the DVD medium can and should be, especially in relation to Classical music and Opera. This is a fantasy and an opera. The singers, actors and orchestra are first class. The production is imaginative and beautiful to behold. There are lots of extras on the DVD. This is what Fantasia 2000 should and could have been and what Fantasia 2000 aimed for and failed so embarrassingly and so ignominiously to do - marry music with the imagination. ...
