He talks over the music, Nov 4 2003

This review is from: Seasons In Concert (DVD) (DVD)
He talks over the music. Do they try to make people buy a CD or should people download to compensate for the loss? When he was talking, it also made me realize that his music is probably pretty boring so the talking is somewhat compensating.

Great music, but several annoyances, Oct 8 2002
This review is from: Seasons In Concert (DVD) (DVD)
A must see for all George Winston fans. The music is great, and it's really interesting to see George Winston in action: his rather unorthodox style (stiff, fully extended fingers), some of the techniques he uses (e.g. putting his hands over the wires to create muffled sound), and his surprisingly good guitar performances. There are a few things about this DVD that I found really annoying, however.
1. Commentaries that takes places *during* the performances. What's up with that? The music should not have be interrupted.
2. Really cheesy landscape shots during the performances. I'd preferred to see just George and his piano.
3. I absolutely hated the new rendition of The Cradle. Ugh. The "new" Thanksgiving fared much better, however.
4. He doesn't play Colors/Dance -- arguably his best song.

This is a great DVD, Sep 18 2002

If you enjoy great scenery, great music, and desire to be moved emotionally, pick up this DVD. I have watched it again and again, and it never gets old. GW mixes some of his stuff with some slack key, and the result is wonderful. I always enjoyed the part where he gets to play with the late Chet Atkins, and those two are just amazing musicians. GW has been a long time admirer of Chet, and you can really see the excitement in George's face when he gets to play with Chet. It is a wonderfully genuine DVD, and it is also a great way to "see" GW in concert without going (especially if you can't get to a city where he is live). I highly recommend this DVD to both GW fans and piano fans alike. I don't think you will be disappointed.
