 Rating:  - VOICES TO BE HEARD, Singers not to be seen.......Being a GREAT fan of both singers, and owning the CD of the Broadway section of this concert, my wife and I were quite eager to watch the concert. Terfel doesn't move. Flemming's gown seems to have been designed by Frank Gehry. And both singers' eyes dart down to the teleprompters at the foot of the stage during the Broadway section of the concert. This is constant, and breaks the mood and the connection with the audience. One big guffaw - which has not been noted before ... Read More Rating:  - Uniquely Classical Experience!!!!!This concert brings you right to the forefront of musical perfection!! Renee Fleming and Bryn Terfel bring best of both worlds - Opera on one day and Broadway the next - together as a rare and wonderful musical treat! Each of these accomplished artists display their fine vocal talent. Both possess an emotional diversity which in turn makes each song a uniquely classic experience. These concerts were filmed in a way that makes you feel you are actually there for each day of the extravaganza. ... Read More Rating:  - Enjoyable ConcertThe repetoire in this DVD sung by Bryn Terfel and Renee Fleming is engaging and exciting. I enjoyed this concert and the extras on the DVD were also impressive. The opera was of more interest to me than the musical theatre was, but I enjoyed both sides. Although I did feel that the choice of operatic repetoire on Mr. Terfel's left a tad more to be desired. I understand that the people were expecting entertainment as the main focus(and what beautiful location!) but songs like Granada and Pourquoi me Reveiller ... Read More Rating: - The way these projects should be doneI really expected to dislike this DVD, despite being a fan of both Ms. Fleming and Mr. Terfel, but this turns out to be a completely winning project from beginning to end. The concert is divided into two parts: a group of classical arias followed by a well-chosen selection from Broadway shows. Of the many pleasures here, Fleming gives a completely thrilling version of Dvorak's "Song of the Moon" from "Rusalka," and "Loving You" from Sondheim's "Passion." Later she unites with Terfel in Sondheim's "Not ... Read More Rating: - Highly enjoyable! All you thought it was!Highly enjoyable! What a treat it must have been to sit in this audience! Fleming's Rusalka Song to the Moon was so heart-felt, Fleming walked off stage fighting tears. Vila, o Vilja from the Merry Widow was just gorgeous. And that gorgeous gelled out high note at the end was just heaven. What's admirable about Fleming is the control she maintained with her body while she sings. She just stands there, arms by her side, and sounds comes out. And the songs where she does gesticulate, the movements are easy and smooth ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
