Editorial Reviews

Beautifully blended scenes of nature with relaxing music and natural sounds. Cascades has three films showing waterfalls of all different shapes and sizes, shot at different times of the year, and is set to the calming and inspiring music of Simon Daum. It was filmed at the superb Cascades du Hérisson in France with additional scenes from the beautiful waterfalls, rivers and lakes of Europe and North America. Four more tracks use the natural water sounds: Three Natural Decoration tracks show a gentle fall with Autumn leaves, a small cascade through extraordinary, red rocks, and a waterfall and river surrounded by the fresh greens of the forest, and a track of Soothing Scenes offers you the chance to unwind even further watching longer, slowly-changing shots of different waterfalls. Please note: Non-profit public screenings of this DVD for small companies, for instance in Health Spas, Doctor and Dentist Waiting Rooms, Restaurants and Bars, are allowed at one location, free of charge, on up to 4 TV screens up to 40 inches.

This review is from: Cascades (DVD)

I have 38 Nature/Relaxation DVDs, including 8 from Tony Helsloot's Ambient Collection and this is my favorite. I have rated it 6/5. If I had helped film or edit this DVD I wouldn't change a scene. This is a Standard format DVD but the video quality is excellent to very good. Color, exposure (brightness), focus are great. So is the audio quality.
The DVD is divided into 7 segments. There are 3 films with longish individual shots and with a nice music background. There is one film with even longer, 1-2 minutes per shot and with natural sounds. There are also 3 scenes with nautral sounds where the camera is on and doesn't move for ten minutes, which is one reason I like Tony's DVDs. The 7 segments can be played solo, or grouped into 3 or 4 segments. I like to play all and for 85 minutes enjoy great scenes of European streams, cascades, and waterfalls in lush green woods, with a few autumn shots. This DVD, coupled with Tony's "A Day at the Beach" has it all for great relaxation and pure nature scenes.
