Linda Ronstadt - Canciones De Mi Padre (DVD, 2004)

I bought this DVD because I knew it would be a great addition to my spanish DVD collection. Linda singing with mariachi never sounded so good. I'm going to enjoy it with other family members.

Riding high on her her Mariachi Lp, Linda went to Broadway and after a successful venue went on the road. PBS filmed this show in San Francisco and the minute meticulous details from costumes and sets (thanks largely to Linda's input), makes this a stunning visual and audio pleasure. The sets were all handpainted in true Mexican fashion and the elaborate costumes were also carefully copied. Ronstadt is in terrific voice and gives a wonderful 2 act show that focuses more on tradition than her superstardom. There are beautfiul regional dance and music numbers that exclude her, but when Ronstadt is on stage, that's when the fireworks pop. She is simply amazing and the SRO house is more than appreciative in their reponse.

This is one of the most well-crafted productions on video and a must have for not only Linda Ronstadt fans, but lovers of music and cultural heritage. Very fine in all aspects. The DVD transfer and sound in 5.1 Dolby Digital surround is awesome. You will soon be caught up in the proceedings and begging for more when the program is over.

The only weak point and it is a minor one, is there are is no bonus material which would have made this much more interesting for people unfamiliar with the music. And you don't have to know Spanish to enjoy this splendid performance. One of the best!

I knew exactly what I was bidding on! I saw this special on TV when I was a kid and it brings back fond memories of my tradition and heritage. The music and dance is breath taking in this video. Linda Ronstadt's best work ever! I cherish this video as if it where a piece of my own family heirloom . -sofia

Como buen mexicano me gusta lo ranchero y linda Ronstadt la interpreta muy bien.recomiendo este dvd para pasar un rato muy agradable con toda tu familia....

It,s a very good DVD in Spanish
I had seen it and I like it so I bough it.
This is a excellent DVD for the Mexican

Must need to be a bigger Linda Ronstadt fan then I am. I didn't really like much of it. Good much theatrics and costume, not enough good music.
