Summary: If you loved the CD, the DVD will stop your heart!
Review: When I first heard Mario Frangoulis, I was amazed at his range, strength, power and ability to interprete his music so beautifully. When I saw this live performance I realized why he possessed those things. He is a charasmatic, experienced performer that feels the music, the lyrics, each note in his heart, mind, and soul. He has the perfect blend of natural talent and learned technique. His ability to properly translate lyrics into 5 languages is amazing and he proves he can sing anything! He's opened a whole new musical world for me and started me on a path into classical/opera music. The DVD is set in beautiful Thessaloniki, Greece and has a wonderful orchestra and choir supporting Mario. The addition of his special guest, Justin Hayward (from the Moody Blues) on the classic song, Nights in White Satin is such a treat! It's lovely to see the diverse audience in Greece show such love and respect for not only their own countryman, but also Justin Hayward. Don't think twice about buying this DVD. You'll never tire of watching Mario as he sings the hand-picked beautiful songs from his cd.

Summary: Tears in the audience, the ultimate ovation
Review: When you get your DVD look at the faces in the public. They are ecstatic. Many women are literally CRYING, out of the power of his voice, his lyrics, his orchestration. Tears in the eyes of the public are the best testimony of the greatness of this concert. I just hope there will not be too much wait until I can attend a live concert here in the US.
This is music that will empower your soul. Not only Mario Frangoulis voice is spectacular, but his stage presence takes his music to new heights. He has charisma. He is the show. No need for "artsy" settings. Mario Frangoulis singing his hearth out, beautiful lyrics, a great orchestra. With songs like "Vincerò, Perderò", "Non Sarà", "Buon giorno principessa", my favorites, he unleashes such an emotional power that you will feel yourself soaring to the sky. Or, at least, this is my case. I first watched the live concert on T.V., then I ran to order the CD album. Now, a few days ago I discovered the DVD. Terrific sound and image quality. If you love music, but specially if you "live" the music you listed to, this is a must have. God bless music.
