DVD, NEW VIDEO
In 1979, as China re-opened its doors to the West, virtuoso Isaac Stern received an unprecedented invitation from its government to tour the country. This extraordinary experience became the landmark, Oscar-winning documentary "From Mao To Mozart"--a beautiful expression of two different cultures brought together by a single man and the music that they share. During his month-long journey, Stern taught students the formerly forbidden music of Western classical masters. From one-on-one sessions and school visits to public performances with Chinese musicians, Stern relished the experience of meeting the people "first as musicians, then as friends." This special collector's edition includes "Musical Encounters," a poignant short film made twenty years after the original which documents Stern's return to China. There he finds that the children he had once taught have grown to become master musicians in their own right. This special anniversary piece is a heartwarming conclusion to Stern's incredible cultural odyssey.
