5/5
Outstanding performance by Tull leader, Ian Anderson
by Garry A. Baker (Moody, AL. USA)
This DVD is very entertaining and the lengthy Ian Anderson interview is very interesting. It would only have been better if songs from 1977-1979 had been included: Songs From the Wood, Heavy Horses and Stormwatch. These were three of my favorite albums. Overall, it is well worth the money spent.

Ian Anderson Plays the Orchestral Jethro Tull
by John Benson
Once again Ian Anderson shows his versatility and brillance as a musician playing the diverse range of instruments that have been Ian's trade mark for over 40 years. Great viewing!

Ian Anderson Plays the Orchestral
by Dana T. Webb (USA Kanasa)
If you like Ian and flute playing its great the guitar player is really good
4/5
Good release, but...
by Bakhtamov Sergey (Chernogolovka, Moscow region, Russia)
Attractive, involvement concert, although the orchestra looks slightly sleepy (IMHO) vs Ian hwo looks excellent. One thing is bad - only DD sound. I can uderstand with 5.1 surround track but why they added DD 2.0 instead of LPCM?! On mine DVD (DVD-5, Russia, region 5 licensed release) the LPCM track we can hear only in ...MENU(!!!) mode and alas, the differencies in sound are noticeable.
1/5
101 Strings plays the music of Jethro Tull
by The Cheshire Cody (Tarrytown, NY)
Ian Anderson knows better. He's done better - 1984's A Classic Case, with the LSO, is what orchestral Jethro Tull should sound like. Strings, brass, percussion - Classical music is a melange of sounds, an Ian should know this better than most rock musicians playing with orchestral music. The ensemble here is so string-heavy that everything comes across like elevator music. The arrangements are extremely simplistic, as if each instrument were given only one set of music, regardless of the number of instruments in the group. There are virtually no solos, fills, or frills, anything of the things that differentiate Beethoven from Lawrence Welk. Lawrence Welk's music is fine, but it's not the Big B. The Bizarro-Tull band playing with Ian has none of the spark of the real deal, and are superfluous. Florian Opahle has none of the guitar proficiency of the vastly underrated Martin Barre, just as James Duncan (née Anderson, but Ian swears he hired James based on his skill, not the fact that he fathered James) is no "Big Boy Doane Perry" on drums. The presence of a rock group here is unnecessary, and only emphasizes the absence of the real JT and the inadequate quality of the arrangements.
So much for the performance, what about the package? The DVD is filmed in widescreen, but the DVD is not anamorphic, which results in dramatically reduced picture quality (lower than VHS, in terms of lines of resolution). As others have stated, the DVD is single-layer, which means a lower bitrate and more quality lost to compression. The audio mix is uninspired, with (as stated elsewhere) no PCM, just compressed audio streams.
I'd give this zero stars if there were an option; I am a hardcore Tull fan, but this will not enter my collection unless gifted to me.
