Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1Audience Rating: NR (Not Rated) Binding: DVD EAN: 0078221466394 Format: Color, Dolby, DVD-Video, Live, NTSC Label: Arista Languages: Manufacturer: Arista MPN: 14663 Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Arista Region Code: 1 Release Date: December 12, 2000 Running Time: 90 minutes Studio: Arista Theatrical Release Date: December 12, 2000 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: This 1995 outdoor concert captures Annie Lennox at the climax of her emergence as a solo performer, drawing from both her stunning, largely self-written 1992 debut album, Diva, and its immaculately crafted sequel, Medusa, devoted to gourmet cover performances. With Lennox in powerful voice, a solid live band attuned to the material's mix of pop, rock, and R&B accents, and an enraptured audience, Live in Central Park thus charms from opening downbeat to final coda, retaining Lennox's usual bracing mix of intelligence and drama. With her close-cropped, dark hair and bold tartan outfit, the erstwhile Eurythmic dials down the sharper edges and chillier mood of that band's most stylized work to focus on the haunted passions that bridge the Scot's solo and group efforts; her choice of songs from her old band's repertoire locks snugly into the spectrum of romantic obsession, heartbreak, and resignation that shape solo signatures like "Walking on Broken Glass," "No More 'I Love You's'," and "Little Bird." The concert footage is solidly shot and recorded, while the audio recording is crisp if not optimally mixed for 5.1 surround coverage, a fate neither surprising nor uncommon for a pre-DVD era production. Four promotional clips, produced for the Medusa project, largely offset such flaws, especially in light of her scant output since. --Sam Sutherland Description: Recorded live at Central Park, Summerstage, New York City, September 8, 1995. 1.

 Rating:  - One of the best concerts I've seenNo one can accuse Annie Lennox of not feeling the music she is singing. There is a raw intensity when she sings and this attribute really comes shining through in this enthralling live performance. She proves that you don't need billion dollar sets and video trickery to put on a great show. What you need is talent and sincerity. Annie's voice is in top form and the set a good cross section of her career (including her Eurythmics days). I have seen several performances she has done of ... Read More Rating:  - passionate and pure...Obviously a must for Lennox fans. Most of the songs are from her "Diva" CD and very well performed. She warms up after the first few tunes and as her interview states she reacts to her audience's enthusiasm. She's a wonderful lyricist and composer. Video quality is acceptable but audio is above average. It's obvious they spent time rehearsing as the renditions are almost indistiguishable from the original recordings. I could have done without the ears on the musicians but like Rush's tumbling ... Read More Rating: - Her Unique Style . . .is well presented in this DVD. She is just so talented as a performer, writer and arranger. We saw this show when it was presented on TV in 1995. Having it on DVD is icing on the cake. Rating: - Annie Rules Central ParkI love both Annie Lennox and Eurythmics, especially their live performances, and this Live In Central Park is simply stunning: Annie knows how to make her interpretations unforgettable. Wonderful as usual, wrapped in a daring tartan suit, she leaps on the stage catching the audience with her exclusive voice. The concert includes songs from her solo albums Diva and Medusa and also hits from her Eurythmic career. You can also view the song's lyrics as subtitles. The concert is mixed together with footages ... Read More Rating: - For Annie Lennox FansI am an Annie Lennox fan. I enjoy her powerful alto voice and respect her vocal range. I would listen to her sing anything. Because of that, this is a very enjoyable DVD for me. If I try to be objective, it may lack in video presentation and have some audio issues. It was recorded outside and the lighting and stage setting may not impress a lot of people. I also think it takes a while for her to hit the kind of intensity that would impress the less dedicated fan. If you are a hardcore fan, it's all good, ... Read More |
