A four disc boxed-set bringing together the entire series of charity concerts hosted by Luciano Pavarotti, including:PAVAROTTI AND FRIENDS VOLUME ONE: A rich array of international music stars gather together in Pavarotti's hometown of Modena, Italy, for a gala charity concert benefiting a local foundation for disease.
Artists include Sting, Suzanne Vega, the Neville Brothers, and many more. Some of the selections include: Panis Angelicus, Miserere, Caruso, and others.PAVAROTTI AND FRIENDS VOLUME TWO: Superstar tenor Luciano Pavarotti does an encore concert to his platinum-selling Pavarotti& Friends. Co-artists include Bryan Adams, Andreas Vollenweider and Michael Kamen, performing from a classical and contemporary repertoire. The video features seventeen songs in all, including a bonus solo aria, Il Lamento De Federico.FOR THE CHILDREN OF BOSNIA: World-renowned tenor Luciano Pavarotti lends his beautifully powerful voice to a good cause, as he and some of his most talented friends get together in support of the displaced children of war torn Bosnia. With famous musicians like soft pop crooner Michael Bolton, Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon, Irish folk stars the Chieftains, and U2's Bono and The Edge at his side, Pavorotti gives heartfelt performances all the way through this 80 minute event. Much of the proceeds from this video's sale will be donated to War Child's Mostar Music Centre.FOR THE CHILDREN OF LIBERIA: Warm-voiced opera tenor Luciano Pavarotti is obviously warmhearted as well, having orchestrated several concerts for various childrens'' charities. It is obvious who the proceeds of the FOR THE CHILDREN OF LIBERIA concert benefits, but not how spectacular and diverse the lineup really is. Attracting pop performers ranging from the Spice Girls to Vanessa Williams to Jon Bon Jovi (!), this concert is a veritable musical feast.FOR CAMBODIA AND TIBET: Internationally renowned tenor Luciano Pavarotti has shown the his heart i

Busby Berkeley Collection (DVD)
42ND STREET: Splashy Hollywood does splashy Broadway in this behind-the-scenes of a show musical. The leading lady is, as many times before, suddenly unavailable and the understudy chorus girl is thrust into the limelight. Last minute preparations for opening night with the new star turn the entire production on its ear before the big premiere. DAMES: This backstage musical features dancing ironing boards and puzzle pieces amongst its surreal delights. Blondell, Keeler and Powell sing, dance and chew up the scenery in a hoary plot about a rich bluenose`s attempts to close down a Broadway show. Never mind. Just keep your eyes on those chorus lines in numbers such as
Girl at the Ironing Board,
and
I Only Have Eyes for You. FOOTLIGHT PARADE: A stage producer discovers that talking pictures have killed the demand for musical shows, so he re-channels his talents into creating live musical numbers for movie theaters to present between features. His fledgling business is threatened by unscrupulous business partners, conniving golddiggers, and spying competitors.
GOLD DIGGERS OF 1933: A classic 1930s musical, GOLD DIGGERS OF 1933 offers some of Busby Berkeley s most spectacular choreography. The gold diggers are out-of-work showgirls Carol, Polly, and Trixie, played respectively by Joan Blondell, Ruby Keeler, and Aline MacMahon. All three hope for a job on a new musical about the Depression but soon find out that the supposed producer is also flat broke. Then young singer-composer Brad Roberts (Dick Powell) offers to foot the bill--provided that Polly plays the lead. When Brad is forced to play opposite her on opening night, his upper-crust family finds out that he is engaged to the penniless actress--and they send a henchman to drag Brad back home.GOLD DIGGERS OF 1935: It`s the summer season at a swanky resort, and none of the employees have any qualms about fleecing the rich guests for all they`re worth in this madcap Busby Berkeley fa

The Classic Musicals Collection (DVD)
Containing five glorious musicals, this collection offers a fantastic array of titles. Among them are:THE BAND WAGON: Fading movie musical star Tony Hunter, down and out in Hollywood, decides to try his luck on the Broadway stage. Unfortunately, the simple hoofer discovers that a pretentious director has control of the project, and that instead of good humor, happy songs and a tapping chorus line, there'll be lengthy speeches, heavy drama and lots of deep soul-searching. Even worse, Tony's expected to dance with a classical ballerina! Thanks to the massive egos of everyone involved, the play, to no one's surprise, lays an egg. But now Tony takes charge, and he's out to prove the show must go on -- his way! Some of the dazzling Astaire dance numbers include Triplets, Girl Hunt, Dancing in the Dark and That's Entertainment.BELLS ARE RINGING: Holliday's last screen appearance and perhaps her best, reprising her stage role in the Comden and Green musical. Holliday plays a switchboard operator at a Manhattan telephone answering service, Susanswerphone, who gets mixed up in her kooky clients' lives, acting as both muse and therapist, eventually falling in love with a client's voice. Early appearance by Stapleton, and a cameo by Holliday's husband, saxophonist Gerry Mulligan. The picture's many musical hits include Just in Time and The Party's Over. Academy Award Nominations: Best Scoring of a Musical Picture.BRIGADOON: Romance blooms for an American who stumbles upon a magical Scottish village visible for one day every hundred years. Bagpipes and brogues abound in the Technicolor Highlands, and the Lerner and Loewe score makes this one of the most underrated of the grand 1950s musicals.EASTER PARADE: An Irving Berlin spectacular in which Astaire plays the part of a dance man whose partner abandons the act.
Fortunately, his new partner turns out to be Garland. This is the only picture in which the two superstars worked together.
