4/5 Good DVD

If you are a fan of 12 Girls Band, you'll like seeing them as they play. There are many closeups of the soloists as well as each artist as they are playing during the song. Also, some shots of Shanghai. One issue I have with videos (across the board) is that the cameraman controls what I see and for how long. That fact was apparent in this DVD too.

5/5 As always, Amazing

Awesome Live DVD! Been a fan for over 5 years and they have never let me down! This DVD is high quality and shows their full potential! When these girls play music, you get lost into it. I could go on and on but will leave it at that! 5 STARS!

5/5 Fascination
  by Martin Simons (Adelaide, South Australia)
I came across the 12 Girls Band by accident as one item of the in-flight entertainment on an Airbus 380 flight. I was fascinated by the Chinese instruments and style with adapted to suit western ears. The traditional Chinese music played in this manner is wonderful and the Chinese playing of Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, & Handel is astonishing. All this is combined with spectacular views of Shanghai. Listen with an open mind. I hope we get more of this kind of music from China. I bought several copies of the disc, to give away.

3/5 Love the band... but this DVD not the best.

The 12 Girls Band is such a great find. There a so few examples of traditional Chinese instrument (erhu, pipa, dizi, etc.) performances. These artists seem to be trying to revitalize interest in these instruments through playing more modern pieces. This unfortunately lead to the inclusion of a rock band at this concert, complete with electric and bass guitars as well as a drum set. It seems like some sort of bizarre combination of a Western rock band and Chinese instruments. Also, at the same time, the photographer/cameraman zigs and zooms around enough to make you nauseated (not to mention has a disturbing obsession with filming one of the dizi players). Anyway, I don't want to place any criticism toward the 12 Girls Band. Their music is incredible! I would recommend my subsequent purchase of the CD/DVD combination of Romantic Energy (only has 3 videos, but is so much better for an example of entertaining music more purely on traditional Chinese instruments.)

5/5 12 Girls Band
  by R. Gumbrill
If you like Asian music played on unique instruments by 12 lovely young ladies, then this DVD is a must have. Contemporary tunes as well as selected Oriental selections make this a one of a kind DVD. Get it you won't be sorry.
