Special Feature: Interviews with Sylvia McNair & Roger Vignoles

" Any admirer of fine singing would be thrilled to find some of these DVDs under the tree. Each disc in the series presents a world-class vocalist in recital, filmed intimately in 2001-2002 at the Théâtre Châtelet in Paris. Soprano Dawn Upshaw in contemporary music, soprano Barbara Bonney in Schumann, tenor Ian Bostridge in Schubert and baritone Thomas Hampson in Mahler are among the gems -- not only for their acute performances, but for their articulate interview segments. Unusual for classical DVDs, the high production values of this series extend to the booklets, which feature extended essays on the program. "
