DVD tracks April 9, 2009 Eugene Tenenbaum (Bronx, NY USA) 13 out of 15 found this review helpful
Musically it is as good as it can get, but the comments - though subtitled - are somehow excessive and unnecessary. There are not as many of them as in some André Rieu shows, but still a few we could live without tending to drag the concert into a cheaper side. Otherwise, the concert is excellent (5 star) including the sound and picture quality, the choice (order) of songs, and the performance positively affecting its dynamics and emotional side progressing from lyric through romantic to more dramatic, and culminating at the end.

Outstanding November 16, 2008 Roberta H. Matzke (Edgerton, Wis USA) 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is the best DVD Andrea has put out. His variety of performers and his own signing hit a new performance high.
Not a gushing, over-the-top fan, but WOW ! December 7, 2009 E. Orgon (Syosset, NY USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
As my title says, I'm not an over-the-top "everything he does is wonderful" (in fact, my spouse and I had floor seats at his Madison Square Garden conert a few years ago and thought it was terrible) fan of Andrea, butI have to say this Blu-ray DVD is beyond a homerun from both his performances and the quality of the Blu-ray itself.
First, the concert.
His singing and his performances have never been better, and the assembled stars (Kenny G, Elisa, Laura Pausini and of course Sarah Brightman, to name just a few) make this an incredible show. Each is outstanding in its own performance, and being introduced, as an American, to the European sensation of Laura Pausini is worth the cost of the Blu-ray by itelf (check out her dress !)
Now the Blu-ray
The production values, both the PQ and AQ are virtually reference quality. If you want to show your friends what a blu-ray does both picture-wise and audio wise, this could be one of your best choices to demonstrate the top quality. The dolby 5.1 is at it should be, not overdone, but placing you squarely in the first few rows of the audience. The picture for a live performance is unequalled, with the blackest of blacks contrasting with the performer costumes and dress. Quite an accomplishment when you see Andrea and Sarah in the brightest of whites yet no evidence of washout on darker colors or parts of the stage.
Finally, at the finale and curtain call, you'll be treated to a pleasant and surprising video and audio treat.
Money VERY well spent.
Grazie...

The best recorded Blu Ray concert I have ever seen. This disc will amaze in visuals and sound if you have a large full HD screen and decent audio setup. Great mix of artists and songs to please everyone from your Grandma to your young niece!
I have watched the concert about 10 times and show it to all my friends who visit. A definite crowd pleaser. You won't regret this one.
Andrea Bocelli at His Best February 15, 2009 GordonW (Maple Valley, WA USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Beautiful location in his home area, lots of high quality talent for support - excellent piano solo by Lang Lang, competition between Andrea and Chris Botti to see who could carry last note of song the longest (I'll let you watch it to see who won, but it took a while to see), Sarah Brightman doing wonderful duet with him of "Canto Della Terra", it really made me wish I was there! Best concert yet I have seen of Andrea Bocelli!
