DVD Reviews of The Art of Violin

DVD Review: the Art of Violin
Summary: 2 Stars

Not as good a product as I had expected. Some of it was garbly, not like the original.

DVD Review: Great Entertainment
Summary: 4 Stars

I have watched this DVD 3 times within the first 2 weeks of getting it. Very good music and performances by those violin virtuoso's. Classical music lovers should own this one.

DVD Review: A must for the serious violin student and fan
Summary: 5 Stars

I found this video both enjoyable and informative. My son's violin teacher recommended it and I understand now that it's had a very positive impact on him as well as being enjoyable for the rest of us. If you don't understand French make sure to turn on the English subtitles for the brief moments of French. The subtitles do not intrude except when French is used.

DVD Review: ..it's a beautiful thing!
Summary: 5 Stars

The Art of Violin

You don't have to be a musician to appreciate the tremendous beauty and soul touching performances of the greatest violinists of the 20th century along with stories of their skill and their beginnings. After you've watched this . . you just feel better!

DVD Review: The Art of Violin
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD will bring tears to your eyes. My father was a professional violist for over 40 years and got much pleasure from this video. My mother enjoys watching this video at least once a week. It will inspire any young violinst to play with more feeling and overall satisfaction. Just seeing the old footage of the great masters of long ago is worth your purchase. If you are a lover of music, you must have this in your collection.

Description of The Art of Violin

A documentary film by Bruno Monsaingeon devoted to the 20th century's greatest violinists, The Art of Violin really cannot be faulted. The same, incidentally, can also be said of the similar volumes that cover the piano and singing, so there's never been a better time to collect a personal audio-visual archive of some wonderful historical performers. The added dimension provided by the painstakingly collected film material (here featuring no fewer than 20 outstanding soloists) is of exceptional value when observing violin technique, and the diversity of approaches presented here in loving detail is in itself a subject for endless comparison. The material mixes archive performance footage, much of which one might never have dreamed existed, with interviews and documentary commentary. However, rather than turn the project into a museum piece, Monsaingeon includes contributions from contemporary figures such as Itzhak Perlman and Hilary Hahn. An absolute must. --Roger Thomas, Amazon.co.uk
