Rating: 3.0
Excellent 1st try and hope for improvements for #2
Do stay with the DVD version on a 50"+TV and a Stereo with punch for the true enjoyment. I play this over and over in the house background for an energy boost.I agree with other reviewers that this was quite entertaining as they are fresh and new. Classical Music instrucments with a up beat rythm. BUT ONLY ON THE INITIAL 2 OR 3 VIEWINGS.There is a "potential" for a more stunning future performance.1. While the music score was interesting and varied, it lacked a flow or theme other than their desire to portray various classical music under their own artistic impression.2. Yes, they are quite gorgeous and elegant ladies. The clothing ensamble did not really fit the music/lightingt so I still am hoping their next show will improve this to show their beauty and add to the mood.3. Gestures, the problem with classical is that the performers are quite stoic and rigid. Take and extreme example of Sarah Brightman where her voice is a wonder but to get those notes she needs to contort her body and face.4. Bond ladies seem to do the same stoic and uncomfortable looks as the gestures are more of gestures rather than a show of emotion. Halie's mouth gestures are quite distracting and detract from the performance.Don't get me wrong. YES DO BUY as I will BUY their next one. I still enjoy this after even after 3 months. I just hope that they take advantage and let us see more of their skills, talent, beauty, and artistic abilities to be even better and get rid of the quirks.
