Bejart Ballet Lausanne, The Ninth Symphony By Maurice Bejart - DVD NEW Region 0.

Maurice Béjart's compelling staging of Beethoven' Ninth Symphony has

been enchanting audiences worldwide since its inception and its idea

of universal brotherhood remains highly topical. "Alle Menschen werden

Brüder" (All men will be brothers) is the powerful message communicated

by the unforgettable music and choreography. From the stage of the NHK

Hall in Tokyo 250 dancers and musicians send this message out into the

world. "It is a "manifestation', in the deepest sense of the word."
