Movie Reviews of Kiri Te Kanawa: A Celebration Live at the Royal Albert Hall
Movie Review: Celebrate!
Summary: 5 Stars
How wonderful to have this available on DVD again. Many of us saw the original production on PBS with numerous pledge breaks and heavily edited. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of recording it on VHS from that airing and so put off buying a copy. Then it was unavailable for quite a while. Nice to have it available again as it is very much worth owning and watching again and again.
For those who have not seen it, this is a wonderful concert, Kiri's celebration of her 50th birthday (and she is so very gorgeous!). She sings most songs solo (mix of opera and popular), a few songs (from La Boheme) with Dennis O'Neill, and a Maori group sings several songs. Kiri is in fine voice, the whole birthday bit at the end is very emotional, and all in all this is a lovely collection.
The orchestra and chorus are outstanding, as well.
I have to mildly and respectfully disagree somewhat with another reviewer's comments about the Maori group. They are professional performers, and are performing in a Maori tradition. Some of the things that appear odd, such as many of the faces they make, are part of the tradition. I think there was a bit of awkwardness in how they were arranged on stage, probably not how they usually line up.
I would also recommend Kiri's CD of Maori Songs.
