This DVD is a must for any Chloe fan! It is nice to see Chloe in her own clothes, instead of the lovely gowns that she wears at the concerts. The DVD is shot in Ireland, and the scenery is beautiful!!! I can't recommend this DVD highly enough. ()

Ennio Morricone - Cinema Concerto - At Santa Cecilia [2000]

Most people who know Morricone may pass over buying this CD thinking it is a compilation of previous efforts. It is not - they are completely new arrangements. The recording quality of the tracks is superb, and while I was not thrilled with ALL the track selections, the important thing that Morricone fans will appreciate is that there are at least 4 rapsodic masterpieces. "On Earth As It Is in Heaven" is given the definitive treatment, and that annoying repetitive piano in the original of the Love Theme from "Cinema Paradiso" has wisely been excised by the Mastro in the new arrangement here.

Morricone became Mr Western music, Carel became Mr Royal princess Maxima in the Netherlands when he played a passionate rendition of the sensitive 'Adi?s Nonino' by Astor Piazzolla in De Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam. For the newly wed royal couple and their thousand guests, among whom were Nelson Mandela and Kofi Annan, and also at the same time live for more than 55 million people around the world, the passionate sounds of Carel's bandoneon coaxed Maxima's famous tears. Once Mr. Maxima, always? Most popular dutch bands like Andr? Hazes, Blof, Trijntje Oosterhuis, Marco Borsato and many others used the Kraayenhof sound in their songs. Tango is his passion, but making music all over the world with musicians the dream. ()

This, Kiyoshi Yoshida's first album, features Japanese "Taiko" drums. The drum is said to be one of the world's oldest known musical instruments, and the Japanese "Taiko" is no exception, having played an important role throughout Japanese tradition as an indispensable item in divine ceremonies and battles. Thus, the act of beating the drum involves strong spirituality, with the drummer using every muscle in his well-trained body to strike the drum with all his heart. The Japanese "Taiko", considering its structure and style of performance, can be said to be the most analog musical instrument available. ()
