Giuseppe Sinopoli - Dreampaths of Music - From the Rhine to the Nile (Beethoven Symphony No. 7 / Schumann Symphony No. 3 / Wagner Prelude to Parsifal)

Summary: not what you might think
Review: I bought this dvd thinking it would be a great chance to see the Dresden Staatskapelle in action under Sinopoli. While the playing is excellent, you only get *see* about half of it. The rest of the time you are presented with various footage paired to the different works. While these images and clips are very interesting as well, it was not exactly what I set out to buy. Oh, and the "striking electronic graphics" left me a little underwhelmed.
If you know what you're getting into and what this shows all about, go for it.
