This review is from: Barrage - The World on Stage (DVD)

In the lineage of "Stomp", "Blue Man Group" and "Blast", this group of talented violinists, guitarist, percussionists, and bassist are breaking new ground with the use of the violin. The music is stunning, and their personalities are enchanting. It is really wonderful to see excellent musicians having a great time making music. I use this as a teaching tool for my elementary music classes, and the students love it!!!! The guitarist is phenomenal and the selection of music is perfect. Own this, you won't be sorry!

5.0 out of 5 stars Blown away!, March 11, 2001

This review is from: Barrage - The World on Stage [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The first thing to catch my ears while watching/listening to this video was a number early on which featured lots of percussion and a wierd Buddhist-monk-like chant undercurrent in the music. From there on I was completely hooked on this group's extremely energetic (super-charged) and highly eclectic mix of music. Although there're lots of violins (I stopped counting at 11!)the music's not at all stuffy, concert-like or orchestral - and having all the violins also doesn't overpower the musical numbers - which run the gamut from an Irish jig to a medley of 40's tunes. I understand that this group is extremely popular in Europe and their native Canada - and I also saw their show recently on a PBS fundraiser - my advice is to try and catch a re-run on your local PBS station if you're doubtful - but if you like a wild ride with violins and percussion - and if your tastes in music run somewhere between Enya and Stomp, this group's CD and video is for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Barrage is stunning...a great time over and over!, January 31, 2001

This review is from: Barrage - The World on Stage (DVD)

Not only have I seen this video, I've seen Barrage live on stage a couple of times (seeing them once is not enough). Barrage is amazing...the music will capture you (they play all kinds...you'll even like the stuff you wouldn't normally listen to), and the choreography will leave you breathless (how DO they play violins while jumping around like that?). The fun the group has playing "Old Joe Clark" and "Sing, Sing, Sing" is contagious, and the moving melodies of "Mountain Spring" almost brought me to tears remembring a time gone by. If you get this DVD, you won't be disappoinetd.
