Ottmar Liebert and Luna Negra Live - Wide-Eyed + Dreaming

Customer Reviews:

nice atmospheres and good musicians.......2005-08-10

Ottmar is one of the best guitarrists in the nouveau flamenco. He plays alive with his band acoustic music with percussions. Nothing to say about the quality of compositions but all the tracks are so similar (the style is this...) so all the concert is not boring but it's better if you are a good fan. Among the songs there are some interviews with Ottmar in which he tells something about him and his life. A good dvd for a romantic night and for whom loves this music.

Little Rock.......2005-08-09

As somebody who has a large range of Ottmar Liebert's music and consider his work to be of extremely high quality, and also the fact of living in Australia and not being able to see him personally in concert, I was more than impressed with the casualness of Ottmar and his band and how they combine together. It is of course unusual to see a player with a setting of many candles and barefoot playing on stage like that.
I just love Ottmar Liebert and his band Luna Negra and the way they present their music. Thank you.

Synopsis.......2005-07-13

Acclaimed guitarist Ottmar Liebert and his band, Luna Negra, perform their unique flamenco-tinged jazz artistry live at Calgary's Centre for Performing Arts. Most of the tracks performed come from Liebert's 1996 Grammy Award nominated album, OPIUM, but some older hits like 'Snakecharmer' and 'Barcelona Nights' are also included. In addition, there is some candid documentary footage of Liebert's life in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he gathers much of his musical inspiration.

Performances include Lush, Butterfly + Juniper, Snakecharmer, Serenity On Ultracloud, Yasmeen, Bombay, Alegria Arabe, Duende Del Amor, and Barcelona Nights

Artistically Amazing!.......2005-01-17

I have never written a review before but I felt it necessary to add my opinion about this video since the previous ones were so terrible. Ottmar Liebert is an incredible composer and musician and he and his band are unbelievably tight. This video is mesmerizing and deserves an excellent rating. It is professionally done and the music is overwhelming.

I watched it and had to buy it..........2004-06-10

Ordered this from Netflix, and had to own it. Commentary is part of video, and there are plenty of uninterrupted songs here. I was glad for the explanations, and insights as to how Ottmar writes.

If you are a guitarist, instrumental musician or arranger, you will find this fascinating. The simplicity of the arranging mixed with the skill of the musicians comes across beautifully.

I will use this as an example for my students.

Great experience...
