A few years ago, Franciscan monk Friar Alessandro Brustenghi sang a small concert in a very small church. Months later, he auditioned with Decca and recorded his first CD of sacred areas. It rocketed up the classical charts. For his first major solo concert, seen on PBS, the charismatic tenor performs sacred standards including "Panis Angelicus" and "Ave Maria" in the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. "I'm a believer" —Limelight (UK). 60 min, 1 DVD.
