DVD: violin     DVD:       Red Violin - Meridian Collection (Remastered - WS)4 reviews Carlo Cecchi, Jason Flemyng Lionsgate, 2008 Meridan Collection--Superb transfer to DVD This review pertains to the June 2008 release of the Meridian Collection remastering of "The Red Violin". This well-crafted saga of how a priceless, one-of-a-kind violin is passed onto various owners over time and in several countries, has been beautifully remastered. Presented in anamorphic widescreen and enchanced for widescreen TVs (16x9 aspect ratio, no black bars--the picture fills the ...             A Piano Evening with Martha Argerich [DVD Video]5 reviews Tdk DVD Video, 2007 Why she is the greatest of the age, and perhaps of all time... This is a remarkable DVD, featuring Martha Argerich--arguably the greatest pianist of all time--and two rising musical names: Renaud Capucon, violin, and Gautier Capucon, cello. While the brothers Capucon deliver beautiful and nuanced playing, this is really Argerich's show (as usual). I am constantly amazed at how she manages to elevate the playing of those around her to new heights. She simply ...             The ABCs of Violin for the Intermediate Player2 reviews Janice Tucker Rhoda, Yuki Beppu Carl Fischer/Blink Music, 2008 Wonderful Instructional DVD After seeing the 1st ABCs of Strings DVD, I was anxious to see this next one. I was NOT disappointed. The violin playing by the little girl was great as was the piano accompaniment by the young man. It even showed restringing the violin. Ms Rhoda always does a fine job of explaining and showing things. I can't wait for the DVD about the cello and bass.             The Violin9 reviews Angel Tavira Maldonado, Gerardo Taracena Film Movement, 2008 Not a movie but a true film. [Originally a comment to a previous review.] What this film portrays is the ruthlessness of profit-driven policy, and the struggle to maintain some semblance of dignity and cultural history. This is well summarized by the tale about Gods of creation, told by the grandfather to his inquisitive grandchild. Done in black and white, relatively little dialogue and masterful cinematography, the film ...             Beethoven - Choral Fantasy and Triple Concerto for Violin, Cello & Piano / Barenboim, Ma, Perlman11 reviews Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman EMI Classics, 2003 Freude, freude! A beautifully performed and exquisitely videoed performance of the Triple and Choral Fantasy. Orchestral and choral fans alike will be awed by the sheer beauty of this music. And what better orchestra to perform these masterpieces than the Berlin Philharmonic?             The ABCs of Violin for the Absolute Beginner - DVD26 reviews Janice Tucker Rhoda Carl Fischer/Eko Productions, 2006 Happy I purchased this for my son and he has amazed me at how he has learned from this. It is well worth the money.             Itzhak Perlman: Beethoven/Brahms Violin Concertos10 reviews Beethoven, Brahms EMI Classics, 2005 Great recording It was wonderful to feel a part of the performance, the interplay between Perlman, Barenboim, and the Berlin Phil was beautifully recorded so that the viewer can feel the drama of this great work from the inside             Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - God Is in the House19 reviews Nick Cave Mute U.S., 2003 Someday he'll come out ... God Is In the House Perhaps the greatest example of a true showman. Nick Cave stomps around stage pointing and screaming at the audience one minute, then gently caressing the mic the next. He's a charismatic cross between an early 1950's crooner and a mid-1970's minister - somehow he makes it all accessible and brilliant. For those into masochistic entertainment, please apply here. It's lyrically brutal music, but ...             The Art of Violin47 reviews Georges Enesco, Ivry Gitlis Nvc Arts, 2001 ..it's a beautiful thing!

I played my new DVD-copy in as soon as I got it. After a few minutes of listening, I though Heaven was open and the flood-gate had been demolished. I have never heard anything like that and it moved me so deep. I feel that my whole being has been transformed to the next unknown dimension. Even though I have listened Beethoven's Violin Concerto since 1981; that was 24 years ago. It is averaged ...             Vanessa-Mae: The Red Hot Tour - Live at the Royal Albert Hall1 review, 2002 vanesa mae the very best you can find. outstanding in all respects.

The visuals are very soothing. If you like kaleidoscopes, you'll like this. I have a Phillips Ambilight TV so the colors glow onto the wall. Sometimes I have the music on low but usually I turn the TV volume all the way down.             Israel Philharmonic Orchestra: 70th Anniversary Concert3 reviews Euroarts, 2007 Brilliant Barenboim amazing Brahms Daniel Barenboim shows why he is the greatest pianist of his generation--perhaps (who knows?) of any generation. If music is, above all, about the throb of our hearts and the awe we feel with the sense of agony and innocence expressed in this Mehta/Berenboim interpretation of Brahms' Piano Concerto Number I, then this finale will blow you away. The 70th Anniversary Concert is one of the great ...             Birthday Concert for Pope Benedict XVI [DVD Video]8 reviews Hilary Hahn, Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra Deutsche Grammophon, 2007 the pope up close As a roman catholic this is a dvd I play over and over to see the pope so happy and enjoying the superb music young hillary is a delight to see and to listen to I would recomend this dvd to all no matter what there faith Kevin Doyle             Choreography By Balanchine / Tzigane, Andante from Divertimento No 15, The Four Temperaments, Selections from ...8 reviews New York City Ballet, George Balanchine Nonesuch, 2004 a dream come true PBS: Great Performances > Dance In America > Choreography by Balanchine >: Parts 1 and 2 of 4 (1977) I saw some of this series on TV back in 1978. I was awe-striken. I was a twenty-year fan of Stravinsky's music already and impressed by the composer's high opinion of this dance master (Mr. B). Seeing it for myself (being unable to go to NYC and actually attend) was totally thrilling and ...             Beethoven - Mendelssohn: Violin Concertos - Acoustic Reality Experience [7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio Disc] ...3 reviews n/a Surround Records, 2009 THANK YOU FOR 7.1 MUSIC Just wanted to say thank you so much to Alexander Jero and his label Surround Records for putting all the hard work into these Blu-Rays; they are Exceptional Audio Quality.
