Mario Frangoulis - Sometimes I Dream (Live in Concert)

Rating:
Summary: A perfect companion to the cd...
Review: Mario Frangoulis is a hot new talent that deserves to be seen, as well as heard. This dvd is a perfect companion to his cd. The concert was shown on PBS and shows the audience what a charming and talented man this is. The dvd has bonus features as well. Frangoulis talks about his choice of songs in a featurette, there is a photo gallery and more. If you loved his cd, you will also want the concert dvd. I just finished watching it, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Summary: W-O-W !
Review: Mario Frangoulis is excellent in concert. He can really show a lot of passion while having total control of his voice. This DVD is well worth your while. He's also very easy on the eyes.

Summary: PHENOMENAL, FANTASTIC, SUPERB, PASSIONATE
Review: Mario is amazing. I am a die hard Bocelli, Groban, Safina fan but I am afraid Mario is a step above all three. The audio is superb, the subtitles a major treat, and Mario sings his heart out with pipes that have to be heard to be believed. He has trained with Alfredo Kraus, famous operatic tenor, has won the Maria Callas vocal prize for opera and does crossover like no other. This is passionate singing, singing with all the emotions, ranging from sensitive to powerful, from happy to sad, no monotone depressing tones here!! Hijjo de Luna a song I am familiar with from Sarah Brightman's DVD who turns it into just another pretty song. It is transformed by Mario into a story of mythological and operatic proportions by the range of expression Mario puts into it along with the subtitles (of course it is in Greek and since Greek is his native language he knows what he is singing about). The whole DVD is absolutely fantastic and highly recommended to anyone who loves crossover. Too bad PBS won't be showing this as often as Josh's concert (don't get me wrong I really like Josh he has a very nice voice and is very likeable) but it is interesting to see how the American boy gets all the publicity whereas the European talents with the exception of Bocelli don't get the same level of publicity.

Summary: Perfect Blend
Review: Sometimes I Dream is a perfect blend of classical/opera and popular - just as The Moody Blues accopmplished in the 60s with Days Of Future Passed. The setting of Thessaloniki in Athens blended history with modern culture. And the appearance of Justin Hayward brought chills. Bravo!

Summary: Extremely diverse/talented/attractive singer. Great video!
Review: The video Sometimes I Dream - Live in Concert in Thessaloniki, Greece, says it all about the artist. I have never seen a performer so beautiful to watch, belting all the songs in his CD album (minus Canzone Arrabiata) with so much passion and grace. Honestly, I could not find the right word to describe Mario Frangoulis, right now I am tongue-tied. The young man is supercalifragiliexpialidociously marvelous!!!!! The final song (title song Sometimes I Dream - E Lucevan le Stelle pop version) showcases his versatility as a singer. It is this song that sums up Mario Frangoulis. Bravo to him and also to the people who provided the subtitles. It was a treat to understand the songs (Italian, Greek, and Spanish). I urge the viewer to buy this CD. It is so addictive. You won't tire watching it over and over again. It is worth every penny you spend.

Summary: Mario Is Brilliant
Review: This is a great DVD. The setting and the musicianship is first class. Mario has a great feel for the songs and the entrance of the great Justin Hayward for Nights In White Satin gave me goosebumps from head to toe. It is not region crippled so playing it here in Australia was no problem. If you've seen other concerts recorded in Greece you know what I mean I say it is spectacular and warm at the same time. The video quality is excellent. The price is good.

Summary: The Best Music Video Ever
Review: This might well be one of the very best music DVDs you'll ever feast eyes on. It is definitely worth the price at any price! Mario Frangoulis' enthusiasm and his love for singing is so genuine, heartfelt, passionate and contagious, that you'll find it impossible to feel down while watching/listening to this recording. Excellent selection of songs performed in a beautiful outdoor theater. And with the English subtitles, you'll find yourself reading in one language, listening to and singing along in another language and also taking in a visual treat of Mario's onstage presence all in one effortless, natural motion. Quite a lot of fun! If there is any downside to this DVD it's that it isn't long enough -- I would have enjoyed hearing much more of the concert and seeing a lot more bonus features. Hopefully there will be more on his next video....and there will be another, I'm sure of that, given this man's tremendous talent!
