5.0 out of 5 stars CHRISTMAS CONCERTS WITH CLASS, October 13, 2005

This review is from: Jessye Norman at Christmas (DVD)

Phillips should be commended for pairing Jessye Norman's two holiday concerts on one DVD. I never had the chance to acquire LaserDisc, nor the VHSs of either concert, so having them together here is a plus.

The video quality is good without being exceptional - not too much difference from A&E cable years ago. There's a "being there" quality to these concerts. The music making is top-notch with chorus, orchestra, musical leadership and arrangements that are light years away from the typical embarassing big opera star holiday concert on video. Madame Norman is at the prime of herself vocally, emotionally involved, and musical throughout.

It's nice to see Notre Dame again, even on video. I attended a Sunday organ concert close to the Christmas Holidays years ago, and I'll never forget it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A subliminal Christmas with Jessye Norman, December 26, 2008

By 

Rafael Baralt "Ralf" (Caracas, Venezuela) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jessye Norman at Christmas (DVD)

Jessye Norman has a powerful and beautiful voice; and When that voice is combined with traditional carols, a cathedral and a big orchestra the result is a journey throughout our childhood full of christmas trees, gifts, snow and chilly air. These both concerts are a gift to our child inside that remembers christmas as the most special time of our life. Thank you Mrs. Norman!

This review is from: Jessye Norman at Christmas (DVD)

To have two concerts on one DVD by Jessye Norman is twice as fantastic. It does feel as though I'm right there in the audience and she's singing just for me.
