DVD Reviews of Russell Watson Live

DVD Review: The Original Russell Watson at His Very Best
Summary: 5 Stars

The DVD, "Russell Watson Live" has received mixed ratings from other reviewers on Amazon.com. Some complain of a poor audio quality and speaker feedback during the show. I don't know what sound sytem or dvd playing device they were watching this concert on, but the sound was crystal clear on all the sytems I viewed the DVD. (home theatre, desktop, laptop) Also some reviewers noted defficiencies in Russell's vocal technique and forgetting a few lyrics in "Torna a Sorriento." Let us remember, it is not we who are on the stage performing for a crowd of over 100,000 people, we are only human, and the way Russell handled the lyric situation and carries himself about on stage as a soloist or with a musical guest(s) is very entertaining and enjoyable. This is what I would call the signature "Russell style." When you are watching Russell Watson perform, you know you can expect serious classical music but in a more relaxed popular music-like atmosphere, and this is why Russell has been so successful at drawing large numbers to the venues he performs in and at attracting new audiences to opera and serious classical music. One has to dip their feet into the classical music world and become aquainted with it before they plunge into the deep end. Russell's and his guests' vocal technicalities may detract from the performance if you sit on the edge of your seat watching every way in which the performers make the beautiful but improperly produced sounds that come out of their mouths, but this DVD is not for someone to judge vocal technique, it is for the audience's pleasure and enjoyment...for your entertainment, and that it truly is. Buy it and experience it for yourself.

DVD Review: Excellent Vocalist
Summary: 5 Stars

The first time I heard Russell Watson sing was when he sang the theme song for the Star Trek series. After that I Googled his name and became a fan.
Fantastic voice whether singing opera or pop....
DVD is great !!!

SEEING RUSSELL WATSON SING LIVE IS SUCH A JOY! HE CERTAINLY HAS CHARISMA!
I WOULD RECCOMEND THIS CD FOR ANYONE WHO LOVES RUSSELL. I HOPE & PRAY THAT HE WILL REGAIN HIS HEALTH & EVEN IF HE NEVER SINGS AGAIN, AT LEAST WE WILL KNOW THAT HE IS WITH US.

DVD Review: Wow!
Summary: 5 Stars

My wife "found" Russell Watson quite by accident. There was an article in the aol news about him and she was curious. We listened to a couple of clips on his website and fell in love with "the Voice". This DVD is quite good. I give it 5 stars because the overall performance is marvelous. Russell is not only a great singer, he also interacts well with his audience. As a performer myself, I appreciate that quality in others who can not only entertain, but can also claim the audience as their own through their approachableness. Russell Watson is very approachable. He hasn't bought into the "star" status that could be his. He's still just a guy...but with one heckuva set of pipes. His ability to shift gears is also very impressive; from classical to rock to romantic. He can do it all with ease and great quality of voice. Since buying this DVD, we have also purchased a couple of CD's, which are just as beautiful, and having been recorded in the studio, are flawless. You just can't go wrong with Russell Watson.

Description of Russell Watson Live

Two things quickly become clear about Russell Watson, an excellent if slightly unpolished tenor: He has an outstanding voice, and he has studied with commendable care the recordings of Luciano Pavarotti, not to imitate but to learn. He speaks English like a member of the British working class, but he sings Italian (give or take one or two little grammatical slips) like a native of Naples.

The Italian is one sign of Pavarotti's influence. So are the little quaver he throws in at the climax of "O sole mio," his stylish treatment of "Torna a Surriento" and "Mattinata," and his choice of Pavarotti's opera favorites, "E lucevan le stelle" and "Nessun dorma." But he has a stylistic versatility that practically defines "crossover"--he sings rock, Gounod's "Ave Maria," and Italian pop songs "Caruso" and "Volare" (the best recording since composer Domenico Modugno's long ago). The live show from New Zealand includes two guest stars, Faye Tozer (of the British pop group Steps) and young New Zealander Hayley Westenra, plus a children's chorus. --Joe McLellan
