Summary: La Luna is Lip-synced - it is NOT a "live" concert!
Review: The La Luna (Live in Concert) DVD contains only 1 song that is actually sung "live" (Moon River). All the other songs are lip-synced! In other words, while standing on stage, she is moving her lips to the playback of a recording made previously (like Milli Vanilli). The label on the DVD should state it is not actually a live performance. If I go to a show billed as a live concert I expect the performer to actually sing for me. I rate the DVD 2 stars because it is very good theater, and contains outstanding music (unfortunately I already have the exact same music on the La Luna CD). The visual and audio quality is excellent. But without actual live singing, it is nothing more than a glorified Drag show. When I am at a Drag show at least I know the guy in the dress is not actually Cher and is just lip-syncing to her record. By the way, the "One Night in Eden - Sarah Brightman Live in Concert" DVD isn't really live either. It too is totally lip-synced. She doesn't really sing a single song. Shame on Sarah for not being honest with her fans.

Summary: Simply enthralling!
Review: I'd never seen Sarah Brightman perform until I viewed this concert. The visuals, lyrics, sound and presentation of this artist's perfomance captured me as no other performance has in the past 40 years. Can the art, talent and presentation of this concert ever be duplicated again with this artist? It doesn't matter. This should be as good as it gets.

Summary: A Great Performance
Review: As an audiophile, I'm very discriminating about the sound quality of DVD's. Therefore, I was a little concerned about some of the bad sound reviews that the VHS version had been getting. Sarah Brightman and her group of sound engineers overcame any audio problems present on the VHS when they remixed the DVD version. Bottom line, this DVD contains some of the finest sound reproduction I've ever heard on a DVD. Aside from this, Sarah's performance is outstanding. During my youth I attended countless concerts; including Journey, Heart, Eddie Money, Psychedelic Furs, Sammy Hagar, and others, but none come close to the showmanship and polished production of a Sarah Brightman concert. As an ex-broadway star, her concert performance is as important as her music and the DVD captures the same magic as when I saw her live. A great performance, and a great DVD.

Summary: Not Even Close!
Review: I attended this concert in Atlanta and it was incredible. I was so disappointed in the quality of the video and the way several songs were left out. I still give it 3 stars since it is Sarah Brightman and my favorite artist. One song goes right into another. It's put together badly. I'm going to order the DVD version-I hear it's much better.

Summary: eat another score for Sarah
Review: The wait for DVD was well worth it! It turned out to be quite enjoyable. For those of us that don't have the priviledge of going to one of her concerts, this is almost as good. One complaint though - Phantom of the Opera suite is just not the same without Michael Crawford. Otherwise, its yet another score for Sarah.

Summary: La Luna - One of the Best Concerts I've Seen!
Review: Sarah Brightman's La Luna DVD is one of the best concerts I have seen in a while! I'm not a die-hard Sarah fan but after seeing this concert, I've come to appreciate more of Sarah as a singer and her incredible talent to sing so beautifully and with such little effort. I like all the songs on the DVD, especially "There for Me", "A Question of Honour", and "Moon River". All of the songs were very well sang by Sarah, although in a few part of the DVD, the music seemed to have overtaken Sarah's voice. But overall, it is a great DVD to own. Not to mention there is overall 80 minutes of bonus footage, including interviews and also a music video of "Whiter Shade of Pale".

Summary: The extras are worth the price alone!
Review: After rushing out to buy La Luna, I have come to the conclusion that this is simply the coolest DVD that I own. The interactive menus are amazing--there are motion menus with clips of songs from the La Luna album, and when you scroll over an option a translucent ghostly image of Sarah singing "A Whiter Shade of Pale" pops up. The extras are fabulous--segments on recording La Luna, rehearsals, photo shoots, promotion for La Luna, touring, tour maps, after-show parties, mixing the DVD, an interview with Sarah, a biography, and the music video for "A Whiter Shade of Pale." Sarah narrates the segments, adding personal insights as well as introducing viewers to her colleagues in the studio and on tour. The DVD itself is a masterpiece. The sound and image are vastly improved over the VHS version of the concert. The mixing brings out Sarah's voice without the orchestra drowning her out. Bruce Gowers has chosen intersting camera shots--lingering on a hooded dancer, tracing the smoke filtering down from the ceiling, overlapping shots to produce multiple Sarahs. The DVD includes the complete show, including three La Luna interludes in between songs, the transitions between songs, and the 27 songs are played in the correct order, as well as the extra footage. The total running time is three hours.

Summary: Absolute MUST HAVE for Sarah Fans!!
Review: Wow! Atlast, a COMPLETE DVD! Everything from packaging to features and good use of what DVDs can offer! Where do I start? You finally get choices of Stereo, Dolby 5.1 and DTS audio. You get PLENTY of bonus backstage footage, with sarah dubbing over and explaining things and introducing people. You get to see them rehearsing backstage, the customs, the make up, everything. You also get to see Sarah as a down to earth girl, which breaks her almost alien personality on stage. Quality of show is great eventhough I personally am not crazy about the La Luna album itself. If you're a fan, don't even think about it twice, grab grab grab! Now I wish they would go back and redo the Eden DVD which technically doesn't even hold a candle to this DVD. I don't know why people wouldn't give this 5 stars, I'm SUPER picky about DVDs and the La Luna DVD did well in my eyes, which not many do.

Summary: Sound quality still causes production to suffer
Review: Seeing the concert live left me with much anticipation for the DVD; especially after reading poor reviews of the VHS release of the concert. Although the DVD is stunning visually, the sound quality brings much frustration to the viewing experience. Figlio Perduto and Pie Jesu were literally ruined due to the sound fading out almost as if a microphone wasn't plugged in all the way or the attenuation was on. Think of listeneing to a radio station that won't sty tuned in and that is the effect. There are also several points where the soundtrack seems to go from Dolby Digital to mono...at the worst times resulting in the drama of the piece being sacrificed. For such a strong artist, this production is an incredibly weak representation of Sarah Brightman's talent and Frank Peterson's skill.
