Jubilaeum Collection 2000 A.D.: Concerto di Natale with Jose Carreras, Christmas 1998

To celebrate the Jubilaeum 2000, Pope John Paul II commissioned a series of concert presentations. This, the first in the cycle, features one of the world's greatest and best-loved classical vocalists, Jose Carreras, performing at Milan's Basilica di S. Ambrogio Church, accompanied by the Dell'Emilia Romagna Symphonic Orchestra. Carreras performs a selection of songs of the Christmas season, as well as spiritual music from such composers as Handel, Bach, and Schubert. Concerto Di Natale was photographed by Carlo Di Palma, whose credits include The Red Desert, Blow Up, and Hannah and Her Sisters. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
