Customer Reviews of Charlotte Church - Enchantment (From Cardiff, Wales)

Music DVD of the year...a truly moving concert...
This is probably the best DVD concert I've seen in a while...
This is art...art, beauty, and pure loveliness...all in one easy top buy DVD. :)
It features many songs from her latest CD, Enchantment, along with some old favorites.
What really makes it worth the money though, are the two new songs, track 19 and 20. One of these, Bridge Over Troubled Water is only available here and on the 35 dollar, Japanese version of Enchantment. It is truly the most beautiful version I've ever heard of that song...
I couldn't stop watching when I bought this...and now that I have the Japanese album, I also can't stop listening...
It's just so beautiful.
The other gem is "Imagine", ONLY available here. ... ...[it was] truly beautiful.
Other songs that stand out are "Habañera" with her lovely Spanish dancing, "The Prayer" and "Somewhere" with the vocals of the wonderful and equally talented Josh Groban and "Amazing Grace" sung with such passion and giving of such comfort...
Just hearing her is enough to make you believe that it'll be ok, it really will...

Another wonderful performance
I had previously seen Charlotte Church's concert on PBS this past December but nevertheless was waiting expectantly to see the complete program on DVD and also the bonus features. And it was worth waiting! First I would like to briefly describe the setting of the concert and then give the reasons I liked Charlotte's performance so much.

The event was very classy and formal. Charlotte changed costumes four times during the program. The orchestra, conductor, accompaniment all performed superbly.

Charlotte looked stunning, immaculate, attractive . During her singing, she does these things so well -such as closing her eyes at the appropriate times and using her hands to express the feeling and meaning of the lyrics. Her voice is very melodious and rich in the low tones and rises to the highest pitch when required. She proves she can move from classical to contemporary with the assorted selection of songs which she performed equally well. She is successful because her performances always move her audience emotionally.

Picking out some of the songs chronologically on the DVD, I especially liked "If I loved you". Her emotion overflowed and she sang her heart out with this one. "Carrickfergus" with the piping background music captures the imagination of the audience and soothes and lifts your mind to a peaceful and beautiful place.

The classical pieces such as "A bit of earth", 'The water is wide", "Suo-Gan" ,"The Little Horses"( last two, lullabies) are nicely done as we expected from Charlotte. I find if one looks up the lyrics and translation of such pieces you will understand and enjoy the songs even more.

"Habanera" was nice and charming, showing a few steps of Charlotte's dancing and her singing versatility in French. "The Prayer"with Josh Groban was very romantic and I especially liked the beginning with the expressive, low tones of Charlotte's voice.

"Bridge over Troubled Waters" was excellently done and put the audience in the right mood before "Imagine" which Charlotte dedicated to the victims of the Sept11 tragedy.
She sang Imagine with just the right tone to make it so touching. This brought the house down with so much applause, delight, and appreciation.

The bonuses were great . "Interview with Charlotte" gave us an insight into her music, personality and what she likes to do as a young person. "Aerial Tour of South Wales" did what it says, gave us beautiful panoramic views of ocean, mountains, cliffs, green pastures and the old history of Wales. Accompanying this video, appropriately, was the song The Water is Wide by Charlotte. Finally, "Video Tour of Cardiff With Charlotte" was ably done by Charlotte showing the bay of Cardiff, castles, shopping areas, her girl friend, and aerial views of picturesque Cardiff, where Charlotte was brought up. In the background of this video tour, Charlotte sang the beautiful Carrickfergus.

All together, you will be enchanted by this DVD which deserves the higest marks. It couln't be more perfect.
