Gentleman of Music
James last gentleman of music
Unquestionaley the best of james last...an excelant production with the best music he has ever produced.Gentleman of Music
A good musical concert
The concert is lively and the musical performance is good except the sound recording of this DVD is not up to expectation.Gentleman of Music
Happiness is....James Last
I have the VHS tape, about a one hour twenty minutes of concert in Bayreuth Germany. The music is wonderful, James does a great job as both a musician and a showman and the music selection is varied from Elvis to Anka to the Beatles. This is one of a few shows I would pay bigbucks to see the live performance.Gentleman of Music
a true gentleman of music!
Just plain old fashioned beautiful! It's really magnificent how James Last plays this music with his orchestra.
He was the first conductor who didn't use a stick, but just his hands. He wrote the music for each and every instrument used, played by a whole orchestra with people from over 15 nationalities.
It's beautiful to hear those delicate violins, or that bundle of trumpets; everyone plays in sync, not a single mistake, let alone hitting a false note.
SUPERB!
Also very entertaining to see the images of the crowd dancing and going crazy.
Do not only buy this one, but also the other James Last DVD: world of music, that's also a treat.
I also always thought that most of his hits were covers, but now I found out that he really did compose them! He even composed songs for Elvis! (fool)
Here are the hits from James "Hansi" Last on this DVD:
(this European cover shows also German titles, so I don't know the English titles from those songs, if they have an English title)
1. Granada/ Lady of Spain
2. Titanic love theme
3. Beatles medley
4. Rosen aus dem Süden (roses from the south literally translated)
5. String of pearls/ in the mood
6. Morgens um Sieben (7 am)
7. Zigeunerweisen (gipsy melodies)
8. Hit medley: when the snow is on the roses/ fool / happy heart
9. Don't cry for me Argentina
10. Hip hop polka: wochenend und Sonnenschein (weekend and sunshine)/ Jägerlatein/ zip-a-dee doo dah
11. Jigs and reels
12. Biscaya
13. German folk medley
14. Games that lovers play
15. My way
16. Orange blossom special
17. Love for sale
18. Have you ever really loved a woman
19. Carmina Burana dolby 5.1/ DTSGentleman of Music
Outstanding Performance
Glad to have this enjoyable DVD. The band consists of very talented musicians from 17 countries. The string (violins) and brass sections combined with the James Last beat makes this an outstanding performance. The trumpet solo by Derek Watkins in "My Way" and the guitar and accordion solos in "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman" make you want to dance. The beat in "Orange Blossom Special" wants you get out of your chair and dance like what the audience is doing. Overall, it was an enjoyable performance by the band/orchestra under the direction of James Last and will make you feel young again and ready to hit the dance floor.Gentleman of Music
