Editorial Reviews

A Haunting Harmony tells the story of the friendship which develops between a Canadian Choirboy at a modern-day English cathedral school in 1989 and the ghost of a Welsh choirboy who has been haunting the cathedral for 400 years, using flashbacks to 1595 to draw out the parallels in their lives. Conflicting career pressures bring about the separation of the parents of 12-year old David Fabry and he is sent to school in England where his opera singing mother visits him occasionally, but it is David's father, a busy lawyer, that he really misses. Lonely and homesick, David is befriended by the ghost of Huw Pritchard whose tragic life ended abruptly when he was kidnaped to join the South Minster cathedral choir. In between choir practices for the Christmas carol service, David and Huw plot to re-unite his parents-and it becomes crucial for David to sing the solo at the service. However, Huw reveals that singing the same solo is the only way he can free himself from the supernatural ties that bind his soul to the cathedral...

This review is from: Haunting Harmony (DVD)

I saw this on British TV when it was first made, and I promptly recorded it on video. The years passed, and it was a tradition for my family to watch it every Christmas. However I have been waiting for years for this to come out on DVD, and as yet there is no British DVD.
I decided though to get this copy which I believe to be Region 1, which was released in November 2007, thinking at least I could play it on my PC. To my great satisfaction, it plays on my DVD player.
This is not a scary DVD, but a really warm story of compassion between a ghost and a young boy. Also the love between a boy and his estranged parents. I will not spoil the story for anyone who hasn't watched it, but it has all the charm of England.
Buy this and watch it, it isn't a Christmas DVD as such, but has a charm of England and a Christmas flavour, by the carols that form part of it.
