Our local classical station was plugging it, so on the strength of nothing but that, Jan and I bought it before it was actually released to DVD.   Sounds like we won't be disappointed--didn't think we would be.    We buy lots of movies about music--that's what I push for at any rate--everything from "School of Rock" to "Hear My Song." (Both delightful) . I figure if you will watch it 4 times in your lifetime, you might as well buy it.   And DVD's have all sorts of great extras.

Added to which I keep hearing worse and worse things about seeing movies in an actual movie theatre.    Most recent wonderful addition to the movie experience (confirmed by two sources) is that kids now go to movies and text all the way through.   Non-texters say it's like being in a room with a Christmas tree--and if you try to do anything about it, you can easily wind up in a fight.
