I totally enjoyed the concert, the locations, the presentation, and the way the talent was showcased. John is unselfish about "allowing" the other musicians to be spotlighted, and as well as thoroughly enjoying the orchestral participants, I enjoyed all the others as well. The young Irish dancers were splendid! Robert Mirabel is a master of his genre, and the sequence on the mountaintop was most enjoyable. I became an instant fan of the incredibly talented Lorenza Ponce, and have purchased both her CDs. The sound quality is glorious - all in all, worth having in any DVD/sound library unless you just don't like music that sounds and FEELS good!

My life has not been the same since I first saw this performance on PBS. I taped it off-air; then when it came out on VHS I bought ten copies to give to friends. The DVD makes it more beautiful to see and hear and easier to find specific sections.

About a year after I first saw it I had a chance to meet the violinist, Lorenza Ponce, who, in my opinion, is the centerpiece of the whole production. Her playing of the violin, her singing and her presence are absolutely incredible. She is a wonderful person to talk to and has her own web site and has made a number of CD's.

John just doesn't stop. He's a real talent and an outstanding musician. This video shows that we are all One World and music is our common bond. From Utah to Europe this video is an amazing musical experience.

I have the video, but when I heard the DVD was coming I jumped at the chance. Very educational and spiritual. Beautiful music and locations. Great bonus features too! Thanks Amazon!

We enjoyed this video to the max! It is worth every penny! Even the fuddy duddy at this house was impressed!

had it been more performance oriented, as John Tesh claims it to be. Instead all we have here are travel music videos in the MTV tradition of lip-syncing and other audio tricks. One would have expected more of a serious approach to a serious topic, instead we have grown-ups pretending to be playing when they really aren't. And when we do hear them at the end of one song, they sound really bad.

I got mine used so I don't feel so bad, but I wouldn't recommend this if your looking for real musicmanship.

What's good about this DVD? Excellent picture, sound, great visuals. If that's all you want, then you'll be happy.

This work is a musical and visual experience of the highest caliber. I highly recommend it. It is filmed in various international locations and shows how music is a gateway to different cultures. At the same time, and seemingly paradoxically, music is shown to provide a common language for the various cultures.

We liked this work so much that we purchased a second copy and had it delivered as a gift.

I first saw this dvd when I was a teenager...my aunts all loved it and shared it with my mom and I. We "borrowed" the vhs tape from my aunt for about 3 years and watched it over and over! :) I just watched it again today and I love it even more. I've never been the same since I saw this video! It took my breath away and inspired me in so many ways. Its soo sooo beautiful! And the different international locations and local people make it that much more enriched. It shows how music is a universal language and unites us all. A great dvd to own! I recommend it a million times over! It's stunning.

I have never seen anything like this program. Our whole family has enjoyed watching it over and over and each one of us have a different favorite part. Mr. Tesh is a truly gifted musician and visionary.
