| When I saw that Iona had a dvd in the works I ordered it directly from their website. Not knowing that the exchange rate from euros to dollars would be so steep, the dvd ended up costing me about $36.00. Now, having watched the dvd at least 25 times, I'm here to tell you that I would pay that price again if that's what it took to get a copy.
Let me preface this review by saying that I am a big fan of Iona music. I have all of their cd's and very much enjoy listening to them through the headphones, dissecting each and every arrangement. Utilizing electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards, violin, uilleann pipes, bouzoukis, bass, drums, whistles and an angelic voice, Iona manages to weave its way through intricate time signature and musical passages that are satisfying to the casual listener, as well as the serious listener like myself. This dvd has it all. It comes with chapter selections, interviews, an acoustic set and a 5.1 surround sound that is better than I've heard on any other concert dvd, and I have about 25 of those now. It has music from their first cd to their newest cd. It has instrumental songs, and it has songs with vocals. Some are in the four minute range, while others are in the ten minute range. Some of the songs have a very ambient sound to them, some are melody line oriented, and some explode with blistering guitar and whistle/pipe solos. The music is performed flawlessly, and with lots and lots of solos. Even the filming of the concert is 5 star. There are many close-ups, and the cameras actually stay in one place long enough to be able to appreciate the great musicianship. If you like great music and a dvd that makes you feel like you're at the concert, then this dvd is for you. |
