Product Description |
Known to the world from Indie film sensation "ONCE", THE SWELL SEASON is Irish singer Glen Hansard (of the band The Frames) and Czech newcomer Marketa Irglova.
On a Crisp Autumn night shortly before receiving one Acadamy Award and two Grammy Award Nominations for music from "ONCE", the duo performed before an intimate Artists Den audience at the Good Shepherd Center Chapel in Seattle, a historic landmark built in 1906 as a shelter for young wayward or orphaned girls. The Magic of Hansard and Irglova playing together live is captured here for the first time

My mind's made up - this is a good one! |

I finally bought this after waiting in vain for netflix to send it. The wait time with them was something like "Infinitely Long Wait." I don't understand why they don't just buy more copies of the DVD in that situation. (??) Anyway, I'm glad I purchased it, as it pretty much fulfills all of the promise of Glen & Marketa's collaborations in Once. Their songs are "swell" (sorry, couldn't resist!), the harmonies are deluxe, and the sound quality is very good. We get to hear and see versions of their Once tunes (including the minimally featured title track!), plus some good Frames material from Glen. My only complaint with the production is that the camera stays on Glen too long and doesn't feature Marketa enough. On their duets, you'd like to see more shots of them singing together, but too often the camera's on Glen, with Marketa only heard (but not seen) in the background. The only real exceptions to this are some good shared shots on "Falling Slowly" (thankfully), and Marketa's lead turn on "If You Want Me." The latter tune is such a delight, it really makes you wish she would write more of her own songs. |

GREAT MUSIC |
This is a great concert DVD. I own MANY, and this is my 2nd favorite only after Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds Live at Radio City... (doesn't get any better than that for me).
If you love acoustic music a la Damien Rice, or loved the music from the movie "Once" but don't want to watch the whole thing again just for the songs (as was my case), then get THIS CONCERT! Worth every penny. |

A very good, sweet and emotional music DVD. The simplicity ot the artists gives a feeling that you will never forget. Each note of music enter in your body and your soul in order to resound in yourself. |

Outstanding |

I checked out The Swell Season at Bonnaroo this year and they blew me away with their rich and finely textured songs. This live performance captures the same spirit, in a sonically richer environment. Highly recommended to any fan of fabulous songwriting and beautiful harmony and melody. |
