06/05/2011 great documentary, loved watching Jose Carreras being told off (almost continually) by Bernstein. Te Kanawa just sings perfectly throughout. Very entertaining :) See more 05/28/2009 It's neat to see Bernstein conduct his own masterpiece. On the other hand, this movie gives no insight to the recording, rehearsing, or performing process. Worth seeing once, but that's it. See more Read all reviews
