A rollicking R&B set

A GREAT DVD

Great music and concert

Wonderful

Excellent DVDThe DVD also contains some of Ray's music videos such as One Drop of Blood and Pledge Allegiance to the Lamb. Also there is a section of music that looks like could be played in churches with just bibical scences playing with or without Ray singing and with the option of putting the words on the viewing screen as well. Needless to say, this is quite a bonus! For example, I watched Ray's song Watch the Lamb without any cuts to Ray in person singing. Most of Ray's hits are here which makes this DVD an absolute value at any price.


A Sad Goodbye--A Tremendous Concert on DVD

Simply Amazing

Just like being there.Being a hardcore AWB fan I'd like more songs: groovin the night away, daddy's all gone, your love is a miracle. etc. etc

Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg's score vividly captures the passion of Victor Hugo's epic tale of pre-Revolutionary France, combining tear-jerking ballads ("I Dreamed a Dream," "Bring Him Home") and rousing anthems ("Do You Hear the People Sing"). The format of this concert is closer to that of a dramatic cantata rather than a fully staged production; the singers stand at their microphone stands with an orchestra and chorus behind them, but they do wear costumes and participate in some movement. At certain points such as the climax of the barricade scene, the video switches to action from a stage production. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra sounds great, and it can be thrilling when 200 choristers (dressed in logo T-shirts) rise to their feet for a full-company number such as "One Day More." Also, subtitles provide date and scene information and help move the story along.
The 147-minute video contains footage not seen when Les Mis was a PBS pledge-drive staple, most notably the encore in which a progression of 17 actors who have played Valjean around the world share "Do You Hear the People Sing?" Each sings a line in his native language, a testament to the enduring power of this show to audiences everywhere. --David Horiuchi

ALMOST a dream cast
Broadway Perfection!!!
For all Les Mis fans!Colm Wilkinson and Philip Quast as the rivals Jean Valjean and Javert will blow you away because they are such a great team. Ruthie Henshall shows a lot of emotion in her part as Fantine because she puts a lot of emotion into her part without wailing like Graff on the Original Broadway Cast Version. Jenny Galloway and Allun Armstrong have great chemistry together and do well as the Thenardiers. They are comical yet disgusting at the same time. Hannah Chick will make your heart melt in "Castle on the Cloud."
Michael Ball and Judy Kuhn show lots of emotion in their parts as Marius and Cosette. They make these slightly annoying characters more understandable. Adam Searles is cute as Gavroche with his bubbly little voice, and Michael Maguire as Enjolras will make you gasp, especially in "One Day More."
A must buy for all Les Mis fans!
