American Dream: Andrea Bocelli's Statue of Liberty Concert (FULL 2HRS)
DivX (913kbps, 620x360, 29.97fps) (128k, 48000hz Mp3)
Bonus: The Loss Of Liberty (52 minutes)
Special guest Sarah Brightman takes the stage with Bocelli for "Time to
Say Goodbye."
Andrea always wanted to do this: the theme is Bocelli's fulfillment of
a personal dream honouring America's Italian heritage and musical
tradition.
Filmed July 6, 2000 "under the stars" at New Jersey's Liberty State
Park in front of an audience of 12,000, Thirteen/WNET's sumptuous
production, directed by David Horn, captures a sense of spectacle and
adds footage of Bocelli visiting the statue for the first time.
The musical firepower is supplied by Bocelli and guests Ana Maria
Martinez and Sarah Brightman, who sing nearly two hours of operatic
arias and popular Italian songs (plus Brightman's hypnotic performance
of "The Music of the Night" from "The Phantom of the Opera"), solo and
together with the evening's charismatic star.
The orchestral firepower is supplied by the New Jersey Symphony,
conducted by Zdenek Macal with music by Smetana and Leonard Bernstein.
The hosting is done with elegant, smarmy enthusiasm by Midge Woolsey
and Valerie Smaldone.
Enjoy!
