Muriel Anderson is a great guitarist, and Blu-Ray only enhances that. Those of you who are not familiar with Muriel Anderson's work should pick this disc up. It's visually pleasing and worthwhile.

Muriel Anderson is an incredibly talented artist. Being able to see her songs performed live, and being able to watch it on Blu-ray disc was a lot of fun. I love this DVD, I'd recommend getting it to watch when feeling really relaxed!

The sound quality (Dolby Digital) of Muriel Anderson's guitar playing makes this disc. Her songs are accompanied by interesting nature scenes - most of them relate to the song titles.

Muriel Anderson is unquestionably a great guitarist. If you love her music, this is a great audio dvd. The unfortunate part of this Blu-ray disc is that the video format adds absolutely nothing to her performance. I was really hoping to see more of her playing, with closeups of her hands, however the shots of her are mostly close-ups of her face. The majority of the rest of the disc is amateur stock footage of animals and landscapes (camera shake, bad zooming and complete lack of good composition and storytelling). As for the audio quality, it's good, but not brilliant. My PS3 with all of the latest updates as of May 08, 2008, can't play back the 5.1 track. I get an unsupported format error. I'm really hoping that Muriel puts out a complete concert footage Blu-ray disc, as I really do appreciate her obvious talent.

Muriel Anderson performs on stage with several other instrumental backups throughout this disc. The sound of her guitar is crystal clear while I was impressed by periodic closeups of her fast moving fingers. Although the concert is predominantly musical (no singing), Muriel does speak in between songs explaining songwriting inspirations. There are periodic and entertaining nature scenes that seem to relate to the song that are playing...As a guitar music fan, I really enjoyed A Guitarscape Planet and highly recommend it for a relaxing evening or background to a dinner party.

I just sold my copy on ebay, So i did actually own this hd dvd. Unlike so many fake reviews. First off, The sound and video is awesome.Real reference quality. But it really doesnt hold up to repeated viewings. Shes really kinda hot, Almost like a young carly simon.Great guitar player too.The songs themselves are pretty bland.Which is a shame.The background videos are nothing special. Your better off putting on the planet earth hd dvd with pat metheny in the background. Now thats cool............

Muriel Anderson is a phenomenal guitar player, and the images shown really enhance the experience. I would highly reccommend Guitarscape Planet to create your own HD DVD experience.

wow, the musicianship on this is amazing!!! picture quality so so, but for the money its worth it just for the music!!

First I'll say that Ms. Andersen is a fine musician, but that is not enough to be entertaining. The music was mostly soothing in a Yanni sort of way, but the pieces all blended together. Occasional nature scenes are shown, but for the most part we see Muriel playing the guitar (there is no singing.) While this would probably be fine as background music while conversing with a friend in a bar or cafe, it is quite boring when your attention is focused on it. Picture quality is good, but then again there is not much to look at. Sound is good as well, but this will only be appreciated by those who like this style of music. This one is not even worht renting in my opinion.

I will preface that I do not claim to specifically be a Muriel Anderson fan, but I do like soothing guitar music, and was excited with the idea of having it combined with the visual beauty of nature. I am a huge fan of Discovery HD Sunrise Earth. This DVD fell completely flat of my expectations. (Which, no doubt, could be fixed by a more accurate description). This is an HD DVD of Muriel Anderson on stage performing, with the camera rarely showing anything other than her face or her hands, and almost subliminal flickers of nature scenes thrown in a such a scant and rare fashion that I cannot think why they even bothered other than to provide the misguided hook that caught me. If you want to look at Muriel up close in HD for long stretches, you will love this. If your expectations are anything otherwise, you may just try downloading or buying the audio (which is pleasant, but not dynamic), and playing Discovery HD in the background.
