Mannheim Steamroller - Christmas Live

Mannheim Steamroller's music is incredibly moving by itself, but add an enthusiastic live performance by some very animated musicians and an intense multimedia presentation and the result is even more powerful. This 56-minute Christmas concert features many favorite numbers from the album Christmas in the Aire, but "Joy to the World" perhaps best epitomizes that distinctive Mannheim Steamroller sound: powerful synthesized melodies and harmonies, an intense drive and pathos, and skillful ornamentation. The accompanying fireworks on a huge, over-stage screen add a striking visual dimension to the song. Several Renaissance-inspired numbers like "In dulci Jubilo" and "Wassail, Wassail" showcase unusual Renaissance instruments and are paired with a rich, on-screen portrayal of a Renaissance feast. The instrumental, theatrical, and multimedia performances are beautifully, effectively done. The album ends, as Mannheim Steamroller tradition dictates, with "Going to Another Place," an all-time fan favorite.

Filmed by 24 cameras and backed by 64 tracks of digital audio, this concert video looks and sounds great. An optional subtext provides brief but incisive information about each musical number--there's no annoying, running oral commentary to obscure the music, but a few well-chosen words placed at the beginning of each number to heighten the enjoyment and understanding of each piece. --Tami Horiuchi

4Music great but thats about it  Dec 24, 2007
I really liked the music. Keep in mind this is a Christmas show. I didnt care for the videos while they were playing the music much though. This is definitely different than anything I have listened to. Overall its great to have and play for Christmas Eve while hanging with family.

This Christmas edition of the Steamroller is, as it usually is, perfection. Whether you like classical, rock or mainstream, this is one for you!

5Awesome Sound...  Jun 14, 2007

5Manheim Steamroller- Christmas Live  Jan 17, 2007
Fantastic, great and relly rockin'. This was all I expected it to be. Manheim Steamroller at it's best. I can only hope that they'll put out more DVD's this way. Great work Chip.

4Beautiful...  Jan 16, 2007
Bought this for my Dad, after bringing him to the live show. He loves it because some of the same songs and music for christmas are on it and the memory will remain from the concert.

The graphics are silly but the surround sound is great.
