This is worth buying for the 51 minute full length Prague concert performance alone. Simply astonishing in every way. Rolando Villazon gives of himself completely in performance. He is a brilliant actor even in concert complementing the stupendous lyric tenor voice. The little off stage moments are heart warming. It is a pity that the concert pieces are not sub-titled but this does not detract from the live performance at all.
The double CD is a well chosen selection of his repertoire, never far from my player, enjoyable at all times of day.
