4.0 out of 5 stars Superb Photography, but......, July 23, 2003

This review is from: Tapestry Series: Portrait of Ireland (DVD)

I own the Portrait of Ireland on DVD. The photography is superb and that alone makes it worth watching over and over. This is photography as an Art form and I often play it with the sound turned off, enjoying the silent countryside and the soaring views of Ireland. I love Celtic music, but it does get tedious afer dozens of replays.
This video would have been enhanced by small subtitles telling the viewer what they are seeing. (Preferably Subtitles that can be turned off.) It does leave one sadly adrift and longing for information. This video would also have been enhanced by having the natural sounds of the countryside instead of drowning us in music. Or perhaps we could have a choice of soundtracs -- either music or nature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful video of Ireland, October 9, 2002

This review is from: Tapestry Series: Portrait of Ireland [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have bought this video on DVD and I am now purchasing the same title in VHS so that I can play my own Celtic Music CD's along to the television with the volume shut off. The combination of Irish music and excellent photography of the beautiful coastal area, countryside, and towns of Ireland is powerful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome journey to Ireland, June 18, 2000

This review is from: Tapestry Series: Portrait of Ireland (DVD)

This DVD takes you on a journey to the mystical land of Ireland, were you are accompanied by the wonderous music of Enya, the Chieftans and James Galway. This is not a documentary that gives you more insight into the history and culture of Ireland, but an audiovisual journey through the country that lets you experience the emotions and feelings of this country. From the green fields in the southern part of Ireland to the rocky clifs in the northwest and the beautiful streams that can be found throughout this country, you will experience them all, including some beautiful sunsets and sunrises.

This DVD release is the same as the video release, no extras provided. The video quality is okay, but could have been better for a DVD release. The audio is plain stereo (but that is what could be expected of this music journey) but good.

This DVD is of interest to everyone who is interest in Ireland, has been to Ireland or would like to go to Ireland.
