Having bought the Juan Diego Florez/ Los Angeles Symphony/Dudamel Gala concert DVD which is sensational I was eager to buy this DVD featuring brilliant mezzo soprano Elina Garanca. This concert is a must for opera fans. Elina Garanca performs some of her most famous arias including the Habanera from Carmen during which she flirts with Dudamel to the delight of the appreciative audience. There are wonderful renditions of D'Amour l'ardent flamme from Berlioz's La Damnation de Faust and Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix from Saint-Saens's Samson et Dalila. Then Carmen, and, in the encores she swoons over her boyfriend in Chapi's Al pensar en el dueno de mis amores from Las hijas del Zebedeo. Finally Granada by Lara which is unusual to hear sung by a mezzo. Dudamel is the embodiment of music, it is fascinating to watch his facial expressions and he almost dances on the podium. A triumph.Read full review
