5.0 out of 5 stars Bach Swings, July 24, 2004

I haven't seen the DVD, but I was present in the rain for the concert. There was electricity running through the huge audience during the entire concert which started around 10:30 at night and lasted until after 1:00. My favorite parts were the German Brass playing the Bach Toccata and Fugue in d minor and Bobby McFerrin singing the Bach Prelude in C Major while the audience sang the words usually associated with the music. I will never forget this performance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent piece of jazz and classical Bach music., November 7, 2003

If you like Bach, and have an open mind this DVD will blow you out! The 3 songs performed by Jacques Loussier Trio is a master piece. Bobby Mcferrin also bring briliantism and the King Swingers are superb. My 2 years old daughter loves them on this song. And they say kids are the worst critics!

You can enjoy Bach in several alternative styles as well as in classical chamber and orchestra music style. And the recording is awesome! This is a live recording that sounds better than many studio recordings I've heard. OK there is some background noise, and the rain can be heard on the King Swingers track. Still I love it.

I feel fortunate to have purchased this DVD, and I do enjoy it more every time I listen to it.
If you like Bach and Jazz this is a must have for you collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any jazz or classical fan, February 18, 2004

Many concert DVDs lack energy through poor video/audio quality and a lack of creative direction. This DVD excels in every category. The variety of music genres - symphonies to jazz vocals is amazing. I bought this being an avid fan of the Jacques Loussier trio and was rewarded with much more. Bobby McFerrin is great and the other performers are top notch. The direction is very creative making you feel like you are part of the audince. The picture is pure backed by a powerful 5.1 soundtrack.
