I rent this DVD from a Classicall DVD library. I whatch this DVD twice. The set was unconventional, and show an unchronologicle time. The singers featuring where wearing close like uniform of today. they look like a very toghuh wariers. All the singers from the choir (man and women and mixture) sang lovely in united voices with beatifull harmony and clear diction (witch is very dificult to achieve by a choir). The Soloist of the weatches were singing beatifull with clear voices. Luis Lima and the man who sang Banco where very conviensing as the soldier who lost all of his fammily and macbeth's freind who gave the foreboding filling in to his vocal line before he was killed. The lady and the doctor where also very good in the way they shaw their mecy to lady macbeth. I heard Paoleta morroco for the first time and she was very good and charismatic singer, matching with Hampson huge vigorously charisma. It was very important that lady macbeth will look scary at the begining and weak and broken at the end. I realy fell sory for her in her last siene when she is trying to clean an invisible blood spot. Her dramatic soprano show musidantship and was beatiful. she has a fluidly coleratura singing that was soft full of expression of the eval and freajil character. The last and not least is Tomas Hampson: This bariton amazed me as he always. Hampson is a light liriqu bariton. Theoreticly it is not very common to use him for the role, sience conductor will prefer a dramatic bariton (like sherill milnes, Bryn Terfell et cet. Yet Hampson has something: he has resonance and vocal abillity beyond the lightness of his voice. I am tallking aboat color and the way his colors the wards.Like morocco Hampson know how to use his voice for variaty of feellings from anger to frightness from Love and lust to hate and despiseness, from transed Happiennes (when he sees the weatches for the last time) to melancholy in the end. The Hampson give to the character strengh that show us that he macbeth is not the week man that we think that he is. He is showing us a very detemend broken sad man who takes the role of a king in a brutal criminal way and become a tyrant. He also shaw an amazing athletic abilities when he fell to his knee at the murder siene. I recommend to see the introcuction that explain about the Opera that is a very enlighting section that give us a hint about what we are going to hear, and the reflaction of the conductor the director and the stars of this beatifull production.

Product Description

Morihiro Saito was one of the senior students of the architect of Aikido Morihei Ueshiba. In this production you will learn the entire sword syllabus of Aikido the way the master taught it to his disciples. You will learn not just the basic techniques, but also training drills combinations, offensive and defensive techniques. You will also see a complete full color demonstration by Master Saito that is simply phenomenal. He is also seen teaching a class of Aikido. This is one of those rare tapes that was lost until recently and was shot at the same time his 5 volume book series was photographed. This series of course is no longer in print and the few copies that are available sell for hundreds if not thousands of dollars. If you have ever wanted to see a full dvd of a master teaching and demonstrating the defence and offense of the sword this is it. There is nothing better available. Most of this is in B/W and is very high quality and some of it is in full color.
