4.0 out of 5 stars Legendary Performance, September 27, 2004

By	Cole232 "Cole" (Indiana) - See all my reviews

An Epic concert experience at the legendary Stata De France before 200,000 people that spanned over 2 different nights. This performance block was over a 2 week, 4-night performance schedule on the UK portion of Dion's 98 tour. 2 back to back performances at Stata De France for 100,000 people per night, and 2 English performances at Wembley Stadium. 78,000 patrons per show. Concert attendance was recordbreaking.

Although Celine has vocally sounded better on past live efforts, namely "Live in Paris" which was recorded at the legendary Zenith theater in France, in which her voice sounded incredible. This album lives up to the legendary billing that it has been given. A true feet in sound and choreography, the challenge of adapting a show that normally played for 25,000 people to 100,000 people was achieved and Dion and her band delivered.

On this album Celine glides through songs from her most recent French release. Celine's quiet and captivating performance of the weary "Je Crois Toi" and the powerful moving performances of "Terre" and "Dans Un Autre Monde" are exciting to the concert listener. Celine tackles 2 songs from her record breaking, 1995 best selling French album in history, Duex. "Pour Que Taimes Encore" is a crowd favorite and the tragic "Je Sais Pas" (I Don't Know), is especially touching due to the cancer scare Dion's husband was going through at the time.

Celine also samples a few English hits including the worldwide phenomenon "My Heart Will Go On and the title track from her most recent English release "Lets Talk About Love."

With Dion's touring days behind her it is unlikely that fans will ever see such an epic performance again in her career.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save Your Money, January 31, 2002

By	J. E. STOLL "je__1" (Stafford, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a bi-lingual Celine Dion fan and a devotee of her French language works which I find far superior to her English releases. Perhaps singing in her native language allows Celine's soul to soar higher, exposing the listener to her heart; permitting a better appreciation of her amazing artistic talent.

That said, "Au Coeur du Stade" is a bitter disappointment. The CD is, quite simply, poorly engineered and over-modulated obscuring Celine's vocals and serving Celine poorly. The buyer is better served by purchasing "S'il suffisait d'aimer" or other Celine Dion French language studio recordings.

I love Celine's music, but this release stinks!

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely CD, March 6, 2000

By	"turtle162" (Bahamas) - See all my reviews

This one is even better than "Live A Paris". It's nice to hear Celine sing some of her French songs live again. This live version of "My Heart Will Go On" blows the recorded version out of the water! "Bland and soulless singing"--I think not. Emotional and powerful would be more like it.
