4.0 out of 5 stars One of only a couple dvds available on nusrat Fateh ali khan, August 17, 2003

This review is from: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - A Voice From Heaven 2001 (DVD)

This Dvd has a few good moments.The picture quality was very good too.Sadly there was not enough footage of nusrat himself being interviewed before his death or peforming.The sound qaulity of nusrat singing was bad most of the time.Although this documentary possess a thrilling performance of nusrat's brother singing in great natural sound.One interesting moment was a rare interview with nusrat's widow.Overall this dvd was pretty okay,but could have been better.Still,I recommend this dvd.It's still worth seeing,cos there's not much available footage in the western world of this late master of the art of vocal music in the quwaal style.Nusrat is truely a voice from heaven.

2.0 out of 5 stars If you are after the music, don't get this one......, March 30, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - A Voice From Heaven 2001 (DVD)

but if you are after the history, and more about the life of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, it is worthwhile. There are only snippets of his concert performances (really only one in particular) which as a whole, make this DVD fall far short of what I was looking for......

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to the world of qawwali music, March 22, 2002

This review is from: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - A Voice From Heaven 2001 (DVD)

Before seeing this film, I had never heard nor read about this type of music and the culture behind it. At the beginning I was a bit sceptic, but after a while I really enjoyed it, and I quite liked the music. Being a stranger to the culture and religion of the Middle East, I was amazed about the high status given to this music within the religious environment. In my view this film is a good introduction to qawwali music and I recommend it to everybody curious to learn more about other cultures and religions.
