- Superstars!
- I have to confess that I didn't see this DVD till now, because of some stupid bad press, until my better judgement got the better of me! This is an absolute must! The number of DVDs available with such continuous, concentrated excellence of singing can be counted on the fingers of one hand. The technical quality of the production adds to the magic of the experience that other reviewers have mentioned. What stands out for me is the balance of the programme (from enchanting Lehar to Spanish zarzuela and even an excerpt from West Side Story, along with various of the traditional Italian and French operatic jewels), as well as the very special brilliance that each performer had to offer at a definitive moment in their career.
A live concert with three superstars... that says it all... oh, and a super orchestra too! - 2007-10-15, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- The Berlin Concert
- Outstanding quality. Domingo still in great voice at 65. His young companions share a youthful chemistry [ one suspects that there may have been something stronger than coffee available in the rest room! ]
The audience were clearly caught up in the atmosphere
One slight criticism - a bit too much camera movement made one a little giddy at times. As an 82 year old male,I found Ms. Trebenko disturbingly
captivating ! Ah, memories !! - 2007-09-22, 4 of 5 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- ENVY
- There is nothing else relevant to say about this DVD. All is said stunning, amazing, wonderful...... The only thing is that I envy with all my heart the 20.000 that were at the Waldbuhne that day. If you have the possibility to listen this DVD in 5.1 surround system you will understand what I mean. You feel as if you were there on the front row. The other importat issue is to see how much enjoyed the three superstars their own show. Maybe they spent much better times than the audience. Add hundred stars to the five allowed to rate and you feel that are still not enough.
Is a perfect gift for newcomers. - 2007-09-17, 3 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Among The Best of Live Concerts
- I enjoy many kinds of music and operas are amongst my favorites. Placido Domingo is, as always, magnificent. Rolando Villazon and Anna Netrebko are outstanding. Each of their voices brings out their distinctly individual characteristics, yet lends pure dynamics to their blending. This trio has brought this music to new heights. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
