Finally !!

Can't believe FINALLY watching this great DVD. Heard about it for so long and finally rented it from Netflix. It's been due for such a long, long time. I'm 62, and have been listening to SVR since I was in my mother's womb. Surprised how many moving picture's there were of him. To see him smile and enjoy himself with all the children. Rent or buy this DVD and your life will be enriched. In the last few years I've been keen on his solo piano pieces so it was a happy note to see how I missed is orchestrations. One sad note, unless I somehow missed it, the first piano concerto was past over and has been the case for so many years now. How unfortunate. There might be first timers watching this and such a wonderful youthful piece might have been appreciated. Great ending using the 2nd symphony. Considering all the possible paths this do cu could have gone, the one they choose wasn't so bad. Let's say even.. good. But that they made it.. GREAT.
