Description

The Delos label, a long-standing champion of great musics therapeutic and healing powers, offers another example in this musical celebration of peace. Distinguished conductor Sir Gilbert Levines career is particularly notable for his many concerts with major orchestras that have been widely broadcast on PBS. This Jewish musicians activities have largely focused upon interfaith concerts of spiritually potent music celebrating universal human themes and values. The performances preserved here celebrate the canonization of two recent Popes: John XXIII and John Paul II. This Popes Maestro became a friend of the latter Polish Pope, which led to a series of similar events at the Vatican and elsewhere. The reigning Pope Francis is also honored. The peace-themed program includes well-known music by Copland, Verdi, Gorecki, Bernstein and Brahms. Meticulously recorded and filmed for repeated major-metro domestic PBS broadcasts (also in Europe) through 2017, these masterpieces are played by the vaunted Orchestra of St. Lukes and two accompanying choirs, the Krakow Philharmonic Choir and the Choral Arts Society of Washington.
