This DVD uniquely presents Maestro Seiji Ozawa conducting two great choral masterpieces beloved by audiences and singers the world over. Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, by turns boisterous and lyrical, sets ribald medieval songs in a celebration of life's pleasures. Ludwig van Beethoven's monumental Ninth Symphony, the "Choral", famously concludes with the uplifting "Ode to Joy," a timeless plea for universal brotherhood.

The internationally renowned Mozart interpreter Sir Colin Davis conducts the chorus and orchestra of the Royal Opera House in David McVicar's production of Mozart's last opera recorded live at Covent Garden with Simon Keenleyside and Dorthea Rochmman. Prince Tamino rescues Princess Pamino from an evil king with the help of Papageno, a bird, and, of course, the magic flute.

A documentary about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart told through dramatic readings from his personal letters. Includes interviews with noted personalities and excerpts from numerous musical performances.
