I was delighted to discover it.             Portishead - Roseland New York Beth Gibbons, Geoff Barrow Island, 2002 Buy Instead of the CD A great performance, that's no doubt; however, the dimwits in NYC decided to have a little clap-a-long to "Roads" that absolutely ruins the recording. Worry not, there is no audible clapping on the DVD, so buy this version. CD and vinyl are garbage. Thanks New York, ...             Beethoven: The Piano Concertos [DVD Video] Deutsche Grammophon, 2007 Elegant Beethoven from Bernstein and Zimerman It is instructive to compare these performances to the recently released Beethoven Piano Concertos played by Vladimir Ashkenazy and the Bernard Haitink led London Philharmonic, filmed in 1974.
