Movie Reviews of Michael Ball - Live at the Royal Albert Hall
Movie Review: I LOVE Placido Domingo AND Michael Ball:
Summary: 5 Stars
The only other pop/Broadway star I collect is Michael Feinstein who has a totally different style than Michael but both men have wonderful voices and a sense for what is right for them in performance. Michael Ball is really quite fantastic in everything he does. He is the only performer that I've collected all his recordings except for Placido Domingo, tenor, and Dmitri Hvorostovsky, baritone. Why? Because of the talent, folks! They are all totally different but have one thing in common, great voices, different genres, of course. Ball can sell a song in English like Domingo does in any language and Dmitri in Russian. I enjoy this DVD as the only full concert available in USA on DVD. I have all the others as well but if I want to curl up and enjoy each and every song and feel uplifted from a mood and relax, I really enjoy putting this on for a spin. "Empty Chairs and Empty Tables" is one of my favorites and no one can sing it better than Michael Ball. The 50th of ALW has been mentioned and it too is a wonderful concert with Ball showing up everyone, including my favorite soprano, Kiri Te Kanawa. Both are recommended but if you really want to enjoy all these songs sung by a master, buy this DVD. The backup singers, orchestration are also excellent. My main passion is opera but only Ball can take me away from it for diversion and heartfelt emotion.
Summary of Michael Ball - Live at the Royal Albert Hall
Michael Ball: Live at the Royal Albert Hall is a tour de force from a performer who manages to combine stardom on the British musical stage with great success as a pop performer. By the end of the 1980s he was already a youthful veteran of some of the decade's biggest musicals, including Les Mis?rables and The Phantom of the Opera. But his performance in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Aspects of Love, which spawned the hit single "Love Changes Everything," turned him into a major star--a status he has maintained with bestselling albums, sellout concert tours, and television series. As this 1999 concert reveals, he is at his best singing show songs that give him a character to get his teeth into: "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables," for example. And he is a first-rate pop singer whose gallant 1992 bid for Eurovision glory is recalled with the uptempo "One Step out of Time." He favors dramatic ballads and sometimes takes them way over the top: there's more than a touch of Dusty Springfield in his histrionic gestures. But it's all delivered with an engaging charm that clearly delights the predominantly female audience. --Piers FordMusic Video & Concerts DVD Video
