5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning nature photography!, February 27, 2000

By 

Alan Ramsey (Downtown Skillman, New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Natures Serenade:The Four Seasons (Vivaldi) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A version of Vivaldi's Four Seasons (and not a bad one), this is marked by some of the most beautiful nature photography I've ever seen, synchronized to the music. The seasons of the year are matched with the sections of the music, the scenes change with the musical phrases, and even the animal motions are frequently synched with the beat of the music. This could be precious/yucky, but it never is.

The overall effect is infinitely soothing. If you watch this at the end of a stressful day, I guarantee that you will be relaxed by the end. Even my 3 year old grandson, attracted by the wildlife photography, wound down from full riot mode to a civilized pace, and soon fell asleep.

I have the laser disk, and it is one of the best video transfers I have ever seen - the sharpness is phenomenal. I eagerly await the DVD version. In the meantime, you won't go w rong with the VHS unless you want the ultimate in visual sharpness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great video!, June 9, 2009

Robert T. Bruce "Robert T. Bruce" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Natures Serenade:The Four Seasons (Vivaldi) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw Nature's Serenade on PBS back in 1997. I was enamored with the cinematography and music, and bought a VHS copy of the program in the early 2000s. Sadly, there is no DVD available, and Readers Digest doesn't seem interested in making one either. If you still have a VHS player, I highly recommend this tape. You can find it for around $1 (used) on Amazon too.

Beautiful scenery and photography! Especially the way they matched the music to the sights and images. Excellently done! And the performance of Vivaldi's music is superb, as well! All in all, this is a very relaxing and gratifying experience in sight and sound. JR
