Symphony Live in Vienna DVD

DVD / CD Information & Covers

The DVD/CD combo package features Sarah's landmark performance at Vienna’s magnificent Stephansdome Cathedral on 16 January 2008, in both audio and visual formats. The television special debuted on PBS in March 2008 during the network’s spring pledge drive and aired throughout the month. The DVD/CD combo also features more than 45 minutes of bonus material, including interview commentary by Sarah, an eight-page glossy colour booklet, and an exclusive bonus audio track, "Vide Cor Meum."

Sarah chose one of Europe’s most majestic settings for this milestone concert event. Consecrated in 1147, Stephansdome Cathedral is renowned for its awe-inspiring Gothic architecture, which, along with the production’s lavish light show, lends a dramatic and mystical feel to the musical proceedings, which were recorded in 5.1 Surround Sound.

"It’s a very special place," Sarah says of the cathedral. "There’s a dark romanticism and fairy-tale feeling within it. When you walk in, it envelops you. It's large, but at the same time you feel very at- home there and quite cosy. I wanted an architectural setting that suggested faith. I think of all the cathedrals in the world, this is one of my favourites, which is why it was important to me to perform this concert there."

Backed by a live rock band and a full orchestra, Sarah delivers passionate performances of songs from her 2008 chart-topping album, Symphony, as well as such fan favourites as "Phantom of the Opera," "Time to Say Goodbye," and "Ave Maria."

Sarah also welcomes several special guests for duets, including Italian tenor Alessandro Safina, Argentinean countertenor Fernando Lima, and British singer, Chris Thompson (of Mannfred Mann’s Earth Band).
