5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Top 5 Music DVD's Available, August 29, 2001

By	"timothy_kauf" (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews

Having first heard the music of the Innovators back in 1996 on a WordPerfect promo CD, I was pleased to find a DVD of this incredible music in concert. This DVD is much more than just concert footage of some beautiful music. There are so many extras on the DVD that you wonder why the big studios can't do the same. There is narration before each song, an audio commentary by the Bestor and Cardon, a "you be the director", and much more!
About the music... If you are not inspired by this music, you must be already dead. Each piece is unique. It has it's own musical style. Each has passion and energy. It is a mixure of jazz, new age, and classical. This CD has always been on my Top 10 list, and now I can add the DVD to that, as well. Highly Recommended!!

5.0 out of 5 stars the "big name" studios should look to this as an example, December 3, 2000

By	"sonnlaw" - See all my reviews

Innovators has now made its way to DVD, from a recording of the show originally made for broadcast on public television. If the program itself were to have been transferred without additional material, this would still be a worthy purchase, but in keeping with the theme of the work, the release is worthy of the description "innovative." A complete multimedia experience, Innovators makes creative use of DVD technology, providing not only a wealth of educational supplemental material, but also a unique and interesting method for accessing that material.

If the eclectic, rhythmic, jazz/rock fusion stylings of the duo are to your taste, this is a disc that you will undoubtedly want to add to your collection. This disc, video quality aside, is a shining example of DVD technology used to its fullest potential, from the menu design to the powerful soundtrack, and stands as a point of reference for all future programs of this nature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Innovative - Spectacular Music --5 Star, October 15, 2000

By	Stephanie Ralston (Fort Sill, OK USA) - See all my reviews

Of all music in my music collection, this CD and now DVD are my #1 VERY favorite! I thrill as much to it's beauty today as I did when I heard it when it was first released (a chance purchase). The architecture of rhythm and harmony is magnificent and moving. The music is diverse and shows the artists own innovative spirit and genius. The DVD was beautiful done and it is a pleasure to watch and enjoy.

I have given this CD/DVD to so many friends. If you love this, also try Seasons CD by Kurt. It is incredibly beautiful as well. I have long waited for more to come from these great artists.
