Summary: Helmut Lotti Pop Classics
Review: I only wish I could have been there to see him in person. My wife and I have seen him in Montreal and he is simply terrific. This concert in Belgium was great. The DVD is awesome. Loaded with extras. If you don't have it GET IT! Even if you not a Helmut Lotti fan you soon will be.

Summary: HELMUT LOTTI POP CLASSICS - OUTSTANDING!
Review: This is my most treasured music DVD. His rendition of "Crying" would have made Roy Orbison sit up and take notice. With a world class symphony orchestra as backup, every song in this concert is a meticulous and inspired labour of love. I found the mix of onstage and video versions of song selections to be particularily masterful in heightening entertainment value. The shooting location in Brussels' city centre is absolutely superb. All these attributes and Helmut Lotti's personable connection with his audience and onstage performers, creates an overall atmosphere of warmth throught the concert. This is the first time that I have enjoyed the Special Feature "Making Of" as much as the concert itself. Additionally, I found the Special Feature studio recording of Danny Boy with Cliff Richards particularily breathtaking. I hope that someday he will add Vancouver, BC to his concert tour so I can witness a live performance.

Summary: Another Winner!
Review: When you think you've seen the best here comes another 'best'. This production is a winner as this classy performance of Helmut Lotti and all those involved make it near perfect, if not already perfect. The choice of music, location of his hometown of Brussels for the concert, guests of Cliff Richards, Helmut's lovely wife and the children used to accompany him on one number are all classy. Speaking of music choices 'Cry', 'Mandy', 'Danny Boy (with Cliff Richards), 'Bohemian Rhapsody', 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother', 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale' and "I'm Sailing' (with the children's group) were among the great numbers to enjoy. This young man is not only a great entertainer but could be a role model for many young people in performing grace and class.
