Highly Recommended - even if you have the Live in Concert DVD - Natalie has to be the most divine voice of our times. It never ceases to amaze me how effortlessly she sings. She has subtly re-interpreted her classics and honestly for the first time, I understood why she wrote these songs. Natalie s fans will definitely enjoy the subtle variations. The cello and violin ensemble definitely stirs the soul. The sound recording is decent (I listen to only 2 channels), although the imaging (soundstage) was constant even though the picture moved. I guess there is only so much you can do when the stage is small and intimate. All in all - highly recommended whether you are new to Natalie Merchant or an ardent fan.
Natalie At Her Best - These Are The DaysCarnivalWhat s The Matter Here?Kind And GenerousBreak Your HeartWonderVerdi CriesLife Is SweetVideo and sound are clear and crisp. This is pure Natalie: sweet, soulful, melodious. There are two viewing options. In one she Tells a Story then sings, tells another story, sings. In option two you can bypass the stories. I can not improve on the other reviews. If you enjoy Natalie this is truly a must have.
Storytellers - If you like 10,000 Maniacs you will love this! This DVD shows off her natural tallent, and the sound quality is excelent!!
Haven t seen it yet :( - I ve seen her live 4 times, so I know it s good. Can t wait to buy it.
You ve got to see this!! - Natalie s albums are masterpieces. You can really get into her music by listening to them. BUT, to get the FULL experience, you MUST see her perform live!!I have seen her in concert a dozen or so times, and she has made me laugh, cry, and wisked me away to a place of pure peace and contentment with the beauty of her voice, and the emotion she conveys. When she sings live, her stage presence is POWERFUL. She mesmorizes me. This DVD is another opportunity to see the BEST----Mrs. Natalie Merchant. Don t miss it. You get to hear her tell the story behind each song. Her performance of Verdi Cries is particularly beautiful.No one can sing like her, and no one can move me the way she does.
