Karita Mattila gives a career high performance in Puccini's passionate opera Manon Lescaut conducted by James Levine - filmed live at the Metropolitan Opera in Hi-Definition. Continuing its collaboration with the Metropolitan Opera and its Metropolitan Opera : Live in High-Definition series EMI Classics is proud to release the METs classic 28 year old production of Puccini's Manon Lescaut on EMI Classics DVD. This release marks a special moment in the Metropolitan Opera's history. It is the first time in 18 years since Puccini's Manon Lescaut was last performed on its great stage. Manon Lescaut a French tale telling of a beautiful young woman destroyed by her conflicting needs for love and luxury was Puccini's first successful opera and the work that thrust him onto the international stage as Italy's foremost opera composer. Finnish soprano Karita Mattila as Manon Lescaut is the star of the performance. Her interpretation of the first of Puccini's many archetypal heroines is riveting - New York Times. Interestingly Mattila waited until her voice had gained maturity and richness before when she was nearly 40 she first portrayed her Manon Lescaut in 1999. She now returns - enticing James Levine to conduct the work for the first time since 1981. After 35 highly successful years as Music director of the Metropolitan Opera a relationship unparalleled and unique in the musical world today James Levine leads a fresh and intelligent performance.

Twenty years on and the cars have entered the jet age.

To some they may just be a group of overgrown kids who never grew up, but to the skaters, BMX riders and stunt bikers who appear in the documentary Ultimate X their way of life is a calling. Bruce Hendricks's film of the 10th annual X games in Philadelphia not only goes some way to explaining the philosophy behind the lifestyle, it also features some of the most astonishing sporting footage committed to camera in recent years. During the course of the film's breakneck 30 minutes, the viewer will often find themselves repeating chapters just to make sure that they really have seen what they thought they saw--especially during the incredible stunts of the freestyle motor cross bikers. Yet Ultimate X is more than just a collection of flashy images, it makes an excellent attempt to give an insight into the scene through interviews with some of its major figures. While a couple fit the beach bum stereotype, the majority are lucid, articulate and obviously deeply skilled athletes. At the end of the day, however, what sticks in the mind about this remarkable film is the breathtaking combination of visual images, editing and crucially cool rock soundtrack--the sequence that ties the Foo Fighters' "Learn to Fly" with the Motor X Big Air competition alone is worthy of an Oscar. This is the best documentary of its kind since the acclaimed Hoop Dreams. On the DVD: Ultimate X comes in at a tidy half-hour, so the DVD fleshes out the feature with a range of extra footage. The interactive version of the movie offers the viewer a selection of icons that allow them entry into athlete profiles, a detailed look at their medal-winning runs, related features and tips on the various disciplines. As befits a film that places such store on the combination of music (ranging from Black Sabbath to Sum 41) and visuals, both elements are presented in pristine digital quality. --Phil Udell
