Editorial Reviews: The unique, enthralling antics and acrobatics of the Cirque Du Soleil are showcased in this surprisingly strong DVD package. And it’s surprising because it refuses to cut corners. The production values are excellent, the filming is strong, and where with some live show DVDs there’s a feeling that it’s been banged out with little thought, there’s no evidence of that here at all. It’s important too, because it allows the focus to be on the quite incredible Cirque Du Soleil. If you’re new to them, then they’re a circus company pretty much without parallel. Some of their feats are simply incredible to watch, and while their live shows are clearly the best way to enjoy their work, this DVD set is surely the next best thing. Four shows are included, and while it feels wrong to cite one over the others, the stunning "Alegria" is nonetheless an excellent starting point. Topped with a terrific, thoughtful musical background, there’s an immense amount of entertainment on offer here from Cirque Du Soleil that’s light years away from the circuses that happily pitched up around the country over the past decades. That it offers much that all the family can appreciate only adds to the appeal. Heck, even the clowns are actually funny… --Jon Foster
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great buy...great shows! Comment: What a great buy! This is really great...you will fall in love with cirque and will start buying more stuff from them! Love La Nouba! Dralion, the first cirque show that I ever saw is also incredible! Liked Alegria to, the music is still on my mind! Buy this right now while it's cheap! Customer Rating: Summary: Breathtakingly beautiful Comment: WOW - I wasnt really too sure what to expect, ordered this box set to see what all the hype is about if Im honest! Alegria is definately my favourite of the set, with La Nouba coming a very close second....... but all are well worth watching! I cant wait for an opportunity to see them live now, and am desperately trying to convert everybody else that I know! Customer Rating: Summary: Just Amazing Comment: Cirque Du Soleil... WOW, buying this DVD would be one of the highlights of your year, I'm 16 and I've seen 3 of Cirque Du Soleil's performances live(La Nouba, Saltimbanco and Quidam)and they were sensational, watching this DVD I was not disappointed with the other 2 shows, words cannot describe how fantastic these circus performers are as they deserve so much credit for there hard work, Outstanding Buy, You Will Not Be Disappointed! Customer Rating: Summary: A Fantastic Bargain - Buy These DVDs Now Comment: Four Shows by Cirque Du Soleil for less than you'd pay for a second rate feature film is, in my book, a fantastic bargain. The filming is of very high quality and although I've not yet been able to get to a live show this is surely nearly if not as good. Each DVD is the film of a live show and there even featurettes on some of them as well as the show itself. If you're reading this, you probably already know that CDS are a circus company who use the most incredible acts in the world - acrobats, clowns who are actually funny, contortionists etc. etc. and not a sad animal in sight - unless it's one of the marvellous characters played by the performers. All this is backed by tremendous live music. Do yourself a favour - buy this item, close the curtains and prepare to be entertained. Customer Rating: Summary: Cirque Du Soleil (... are simply the Best of the Best) Comment: There are circus acts and then there is "Cirque du Soleil" they are simply the finest artists from around the world brought together to give the finest performance you can imagine. They do NOT use animals in any acts and if you ever get the chance to see them live then go whatever the cost financially. The music is superb and powerful with amazing depth and dynamic range (and this is an experienced classical and theatre sound engineer talking) and the lighting and costumes are just as good. Amazon offer this box set at an amazing price so buy it before they put the price up. The CD's are fantastic to use (due to the stunning dynamic range of tracks such as "Alegria") to test the performance of your HiFi system as well as any professional sound reinforcement system. Time for me to look at the other DVD's and CD's from Cirque du Soleil here at Amazon. More Reviews
