NAXOS LASERDISC CLASSICS -- Reference No. 3.110017 -- COMPOSER: Mozart -- VENUES: Innsbruck, Austria & Southern Tyrol, Italy
NOTE: The program category on this disc is known as BackGround Video or, more familiarly, BGV. BGV's overlay quality video footage with quality music performances, completely without narrative and often without titles or subtitles. The result is a far more entertaining, eloquent, and soothing way to immerse oneself in the joy of good music than by simply staring at an orchestra or an artist on stage. This particular series matches the visual imagery of classic European venues with popular works of classical music.
From the back cover: "Naxos Laserdisc Classics invite you on a journey into sound, in which the visual perfectly complements the musical. You will discover a powerful link between landscapes and the rhythms articulated through those great composers who were inspired by them. Nowhere, perhaps, is this relationship more strongly realized in the castles, museums, churches, and cathedrals of Europe, each commemorating traditions of musical patronage and worship which have shaped civilization throughout the ages."
Identical to Reference No. [LVD9115] issued by Lumivision as part of their Classical Visual Music series. Both versions are attributable to Naxos. Produced in Zurich, Switzerland. Includes 2-page insert in English.
