The Dresden Soul Symphony [Live-DVD]

Ganz tolle Kombination von Klassik und Soul. Sehr interessant auch das Zusammenspiel der beiden ganz unterschiedlichen Musikgattungen und deren Musikern. Absolut empfehlenswert!!!

Sound !!

Reviewed in Germany on 17 March 2009

Ich konnte die DVD neulich auf einer hochwertigen 5.1 Anlage und einem sehr hochwertigen Beamer hören und sehen.

Der Sound ist absolut fantastisch. Wer vielleicht Bedenken wegen des Symphonieorchesters hat. Das Orchester groovt erstaunlich gut mit den
Top Soulsängern und mit der Band mit.

Das Bild einer Fersehproduktion kann natürlich mit Kinofilmen nicht mithalten. Trotzdem fand ich es recht gut. Nahaufnahmen waren trotz einer Leinwandgröße von über 2m noch genauso superscharf wie die Sängerinnen. Auch waren ausreichend Kameras im Einsatz, so ist das Konzert auch visuell gut umgesetzt.

Für Fans von Soulmusik heiß empfohlen!

Super Konzert, durchschnittliche DVD

Das Konzert war wirklich super (ich war live dabei). Nur an der DVD gibt es ein paar Kritikpunkte. Das Bild rauscht bei Dunkeltönen stark und ist teilweise etwas unscharf. Des Weiteren ist das Making-of nur in englischer Sprache verfügbar, was doch sehr ärgerlich ist. Das Konzert hat fünf Sterne verdient, wegen der Mängel an der DVD gebe ich aber nur vier.

Wer schwarze Musik mag, wird dieses Werk lieben. Das Beste, was ich seit langem gehört habe. Die Stimmung des Konzerts geht sofort ins Blut. Mehr als empfehlenswert.

Really enjoyable

Reviewed in the United States on 4 July 2011

I loved this DVD so much I watched it twice through the day I received it.

It has a variety of dancers, styles, and music. The video alternated between full body shots and partial, but long enough to really get the feel of the dances and enjoy the movement, with no sense that I was missing something essential in the dance. The images are sharp enough, even on a larger screen TV (I've noticed some DVDs are too grainy to enjoy on a larger screen.) The packaging is a skinny cardboard box with plastic insert.

About half of these dancers were new names to me. All of the dances were excellent. I particularly enjoyed the two dance troupes, Bohemia Dance Co (around the world in dance styles and costuming) and Layla & the Lotus Dancers (I love Isis wings and veil work, so elegant). Karim was a real change of pace, both as male dancer and working with sticks; he came across as so obviously having fun and he was fun to watch. Paulina and Guzel are also favorites on this DVD.

I would happily see any of these dancers live.

Nice DVD for Performances

Reviewed in the United States on 3 August 2011

Nice array of different bellydance performances. I liked most of them, there were just a couple I did'nt really care for, but that is pretty common with performance DVDs. Good production quality, easy to see what's happening. It does have camera shots cutting away for some close-ups but it does'nt deter from the performance.

I really enjoyed Karim Nagi (Saidi Cane Dance), Claudia (lots of energy, beautiful and exciting to watch), Paulina (Fan Veil-really cool have never seen it done with one super-large fan like that, interesting), Ansuya, Princess Farhana (very feminine and fun. To add some camp, had a cute admirer in a Fez to add to the performance)....just to name a few.

Bellydance Performances by:
Ansuya- Aziza -Karim Nagi - Willow - Paulina - Claudia - Neena Nour - Guzel Gilleeva - Princess Farhana - Baygeyya El-Ghazal - Bohemia Dance Co. - Layla & Lotus Dancers.

Beautiful work of art!

I think this was a great concept to have a band together with an ochestra in one stage! On top of that, they put together a team of very talented singers into it! I love it
