Movie Reviews of Joseph Haydn - The Creation / Kirkby, Rolfe Johnson, George, AAM, Hogwood
Movie Review: Haydn Visits Animal Planet
Summary: 3 Stars
I find that Mike Birman has said everything I meant to say about this DVD - utterly glorious singing from the soloists, relatively clear singing from the choruses and clean playing from the period orchestra, amounting to an excellent CD. But the visual mish-mash of flapping flamingos, time-lapse lava, snippets of engravings by William Blake, and other distracting irrelevancies make the experience of watching the DVD frustrating. I'd rather watch 102 minutes of brass players draining their spittle.
Do read Mike's excellent review! If you're not acquainted with his lucid style, you're missing the most consistently insightful reviewer on amazon soil.
