Excellent sound, January 12, 2001
This review is from: Michael Kamen Concerto For Saxophone (DVD)
After much searching, I was thrilled to get my hands on this DVD (I already have the CD). What interests me about Michael Kamen is how he attempts and manages to bridge the gap between seemingly odd music genres.
This DVD is no different. With David Sanborn, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour and George Harrison, you'll definitely get a different blend of music here. The main player beside the NPO is Sanborn with his trusted Selmer saxaphone.
Sanborn's playing is very controlled throughout and the orchestra provides adequate backing. This DVD comes with a bonus documentary section where the viewer will get a deeper appreciation on the inspiration that led to the music and interviews with the respective guest artistes.
The Concerto music is presented as a collage of images; a section of the orchestra, Sanborn, Kamen and other scenes conveying the mood of the music.
The DVD features crisp sound which would definitely please those who own the CD and I would have given this DVD 4 stars if they also include the complete guest performances. In any case, this is a worthy investment as we would probably not get many of this kind of production.

A musical and visual Masterpiece, December 23, 2005
I bought this for my husband for Christmas who is a professional sax player. I decided to give it to him early and he was amazed. We watched it together a second time, and I was so moved and inspired, I didn't want it to end. The interviews with various artists were great and the behind the scenes practice sessions were great fun to watch. But the amazing thing is the full concerto being performed at the end with a story lines being shot in beautiful artistic form as the concerto is being played. This is a DVD we will watch MANY times, it is so lovely. The sax with full orchestra is fantastic.
