Christmas with Chanticleer (DVD)
OUR FIRST-EVER DVD AS SEEN ON PBS!
Chanticleer's annual Christmas concerts in the Medieval Sculpture Hall of The Metropolitan Museum of Art have become a holiday tradition in New York, selling out months in advance. Now a live recording of this beloved concert is on DVD in a program destined to become an instant holiday classic.
A co-production of Thirteen/WNET New York, KQED Public Television 9 San Francisco and Chanticleer
"I can't imagine anything more purely beautiful than Chanticleer singing in the shadow of the Northern European Christmas tree at the Metropolitan Museum. Take 12 men who sing exquisitely in tune and put them in a biggish room with a high, vaulted ceiling, and you get sounds that shimmer and cling like hand bells on a chilly day."
--The Washington Post
