Summary: Para mi escuchar a Sarah y a Placido es como viajar al cielo
Review: Sarah is for me the real and only Angel of music. Lisening to her unique and beatiful voice in Placidos's company is a real great experience that I can't explain with words.

This Concert is beatiful

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: me_mon
Review: This DVD is a great disappointment. The sound recording was terrible. Everyone appeared arkward and the voices did not work well together. I do not recommend this DVD...it's a waste of money!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Highly recommended
Review: This is a wonderful video - great vocals accompanied by a delightful children's choir and an absolutely sublime Vienna Philharmonic. I've watched it over and over again and I highly recommend it to lovers of Christmas music.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: fantastic christmas music
Review: This is not your average "Jingle Bell" type of Christmas music. 4 Great singers sing traditional as well as European Christmas songs in 5 different languages and are backed by a delightful children's choir. Placido domingo and Sarah Brightman are simply wonderful. Brightman's rendition of "Child in a manger, Silent night, & First of May" is simply superb. I Highly recomend it.

Summary: Sad :((
Review: When I read the first reviews, I could not (did not want to) believe them. Unfortunately they were true. It is sad that these great performers could not produce a more 'festive' concert. I am glad I did not pay to see the concert. Unfortunately, Sara, Pla...D, etal, will never see these reviews.

Summary: a gala christmas in Vienna
Review: Without mincing words, an unexpected dissapointment. Domingo is charming as always and the aging of his voice on this disk is very distinct, although in no way unpleasant. Brightman's performance is very credible and the audio production values, which were very poor on my copy, seemed to favor her more than any of the others. Lotti, so often versatile and acrobatic in his approach on other disks seems flat and clouded here. Cocciante is an annoying presence on this disk and his voice does not blend well at all with the other three...a marketing risk that did not pay off. I can only assume that all the performers, in retrospect, would prefer that the disk had never been released. Had I known about the non-traditional repertoire I might have been better prepared for the dissapointment...there was not a single number in which I was emotionally transported.
