Paris Palais Des Congres (1999)

Sheer Delight!!!

I have always enjoyed Charles Aznavour and simply adore Liza Minnelli. Neither artists disappointed me on this DVD - they are both magnificent. I don't speak French and although I was caught up with Aznavour's charm, talent and music I so wished I knew what he was saying so that I could also cry and laugh with him. I've added 'Learn French' to my life-list.
Liza always lifts my spirits and find myself grinning from ear-to-ear. The song I liked the least was 'God bless the child' and I can't explain why. My favourite was "I love a Piano". Liza is superb in this one!!! The reason why I enjoy Liza is because she gives her all in every song. How can one not love her when her 'all' is absolute talent that thrills one through and through.
The medley is a joy because, not only are the songs wonderful, but the love and respect between the two artists just shines through and lifted my heart as it will do yours.
Bravo my friends.

IT COULD NOT BE BETTER! WHAT TALENT!

This concert could not get any better. Both artists are
pure perfection. This is one of the few concerts were
"Aznavour/Minnelli" are so "magical" that this is a DVD
worth owning and is MORE than just a film of the concert.
You can feel the excitement and magic and you even forget
you are watching a DVD! The only sad note is that I wish
this was "LIZA" today. But I only wish her the best of
continued success. This is a POSITIVE AND OVERWHELMING
EXPERIENCE FOR ALL...and at the end
you can feel the friendship and even the love between these
two actors/singers.

I simpy wish they would release ALL OF LIZA'S FILMED SHOWS, like the one on "FOX Studio" that has been butchered to
an hour and should be running 90 minutes. It was a special
many, many years ago either on "SHOWTIME" OR "HBO."

I think it is time, after "all the laughting" about "Ms.
Minnelli" for all interested in the arts to get to see
"Liza" at her very top and understand this is what made
her famous. There are at least two more concerts filmed
that need to be released. Write "FOX STUDIOS."After watcing this anyone will understand the meaning of true
"genius!" October 30, 2006

Palais Des Congres Des Paris - Featuring Charles Aznavour & Liza Minnelli

We were very pleased with the quality of the video and the concert is just fabulous. A wonderful gift for any Aznavour-Minnelli fan. October 17, 2005

Good friends, Perfect match; Formitable !!

Liza and Aznavour are long time friends. And it is very exciting to see them perform on a same stage !!
Aznavour's soothing and Parisien style with Liza's engergetic and NY feel, are a perfect match !!
Actually, Liza had just attend Aznavour's 80 anniversary concert last year, and they are still a hit !! February 22, 2005

Liza at her best

Everything that is good about Minnelli is evidenced here. Her dance during Steppin' Out, though a bit clunky and less smooth than the movie version, is pulled off because of her remarkable charisma and showmanship, the sheer joy in performing that she conveys. A special delight is her bluesy, gut-wrenching version of I Love a Piano. She nails this number like nobody has, and does the whole thing reclining on an easy chair! This DVD captures the beauty and sex appeal that Minnelli radiates, despite her unconventional looks (dig her great legs!). Like her mother, the power of talent and personality transcends the form (though her mother was more conventionally attractive). Sadly, like her mother, she seems to be buckling under the pressures of life's circumstance. Fortunately, we have videos like this that capture the glory of her great moments--I hope there are more in the future of this uniquely gifted woman. November 30, 2004
