Live at Royal Opera House (2002)

An Excellent Purchase

The product itself was in excellent condition. It plays well with sharp footage and rich sound. I've been watching poor versions of some of the videos on youtube for ages and it's great to now have them in high quality.

Bjork is beyond comparison. Her music is pure and innovative. This is an outstanding concert by an absolutely outstanding musician, artist, and communicator. You will watch this dvd over and again and love it more each time.

A Magical Journey

I bought this DVD when it first came out and now I'm buying another one because I've worn out my first copy. This is a concert that gets better each time you hear it. The Red Feather Dress( by Alexander McQueen) she wears in the second act is one of my favorites! Listening to this dvd is a expierence full of Beauty...Art...and Love.

Wonderful

It's the musical cherub Bjork, once again leading our planet one notch closer to the music of the spheres and the harmonies of the heavens. January 7, 2008

The Mad-Pixie Musical Genius of Bjork!

This concert gets better -- impossibly better, more beautiful and interesting -- with repeated watchings, and it takes repeated watchings to capture both the gestalt and the little details that make this such a phenomenal and interesting performance.

Bjork is a maverick. She is defiantly self-defined, listening to no one's idea of who she ought to be or what she ought to sound like, and as a result she's created an entirely new paradigm of what a modern day performer can do and be and become. How she ever ended up on the 2006 slate of Brit Award nominees alongside Kelly Clarkson, Madonna and Mariah Carey is a wonder -- but she leaves those ladies in the dust. They are all cut from roughly the same cloth, but Bjork -- a true artist, not just a performer mimicking tried and true ideas of what will sell records and play well in videos -- is defiantly and out-loud an original.

Her ebullient, expansive, joyful, expressive and extraordinary voice threads through this set of songs like a shooting star, leaving a comet tail of magic in its wake. She is like a child on the stage, moving instinctly in time with the beat of her own music, the ticking of her own particular heart and brain and mind. The music is sometimes so unearthly it may well be built on a tonal scale from another planet -- or from heaven itself -- but drop your expectations of what music "should" sound like and this oceanic performance will effervesce in your head like a sublime, simmering broth of seltzer and starlight.

Fizz, fizz, fizz ... wonderful. What a relief it is from the ordinary!
