Live From Pompeii[DVD]

Live From Pompeii Love Il Volo! Own all their DVD ConcertsOrdered Il Volo Pompeii in advance of release.Received DVD 10/4/15.This Sony release is terrible in quality.Whoever mixed this Concert forgot to monitor “VOLUME”Every DVD concert I own would blow the roof off with 7 Ch. volume set at 16, this DVD is barely audible.Returned it and Amazon sent me a second DVD. Same Issue, disappointed again!Returned second DVD as well.As of 10/4 reviews showed a cumulative 1 & 2 rating of 25% dislike because of “Volume Issues”,now its somehow down to 22%. Hard to believe given the second DVD I just Received on 10/5/15 one day laterhas same issue! “VERY LOW VOLUME!”Advice, wait 6 months for this to be corrected. Hope Amazon advises Sony of the issue.Thank you Amazon for “Excellent” Customer Service!

I HAVE ALL THE CONCERTS OF IL VOLO, INCLUDING "LIVE FROM POMPEII." I DON'T KNOW WHERE WAS THE ENGINEER WHO PROCESS THE SOUND OF THIS DVD, IS THE WORST I EVER HEARD IN MY COLLECTION OF ABOUT 60 DVD CONCERTS I HAVE. WE KNOW IS THE FIRST TIME THEY MADE A SHOW IN A PLACE LIKE THIS ONE, BUT IT CAN BE DONE THE SOUND IN AN STUDIO AND PUT IT TOGEDER AFTER. TO OTHER COSTUMER, THIS IS A REGION 1, NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. I HAVE A H.T. ONKIO 7.1, AND I HAVE TO PUT THE VOLUME AT 60 TO HEAR THE CONCERT. THE POP-OPERA SINGERS LOOSE THEIR MAGIC OF THEIR VOICES COMPLETLY, THIS AFFECT THE CAREER OF THE GROUP. NOBODY WANTS THIS, BELIEVE ME. I WILL KEEP THIS DVD. BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE. ALL THE LATEST REVIEWS WITH 5 STARS ARE INCORECT, YOU CAN TRUST ME.

I have a problem with the DVD, but it has nothing to do with low volume in the sound, it is recorded at standard DVD levels, at least with the copy I have, no my problem is that it played on PBS in 5.1 channel surround, the disc is only 2 channel stereo, which to be fair is beautifully recorded, just not what I expected and wanted, and why no BLU-RAY?, OK, enough carping, their voices remind me very much of a young Carreras, Domingo, Pavarotti, and with a little more maturity I am sure they will equal the masters, now about this DVD musically it is astonishing, they open with a very well done IO CHE NON VIVO ISENZA TEJ, that sets the mood for the rest of the album (yes album) but Delilah is a show stopper, spectacular, the orchestra, the boys and especially the drummer (who is the bomb, and sounds like one) do a rousing version that just get my pulse racing and the hair on the back of my hands stand on edge, lets skip to eternally, the boys sing this with such emotion and conviction that I believe they are each singing it to someone special, beautiful, never heard it sung better by anyone, much of the same can be said of "you don't have to say you love me" wow, such beautiful harmony, believe me, you will not be disappointed in the music, and if you get a good copy, as I did, and don't care about the lack of 5.1 surround, you should be very pleased, by the way, the video is one of the best DVD'S I have ever seen, although I still want BLU-RAY and 5.1, this is still well worth getting

Like the other reviews here, I too was disappointed in the sound quality of this. AND I'm not paying money to see the audience!!! Camera work was very poor on this one too! Way too much time spent looking at the audience!!! I want to be watching Il Volo!!!! All around not their best DVD, but not their fault. They were fantastic (as usual). I'd say if you're getting your first Il Volo DVD, select the Michigan (Takes Flight) one or some other, but not this. Once you're a die hard fan and just have to have everything they've ever done :) then get this one to complete your collection. They are amazing. A gift to us from God!

If you love Il Volo as we do, you will love this one also. Having watched the concert the several times it appeared on PBS, we knew what to expect with the sound. We do not know much about sound engineering, but it seems that that unseen person in the sound booth has turned up the volume on the orchestra and way down on the singers. All we hear is the drummer! Even so, we shall enjoy it often, just as we do the other Il Volo dvds.

We love the Il Volo video Notte Magica and wanted to see another of their concerts. Their singing in this Pompeii concert was probably great also, but you couldn't tell from the video. The recording quality is very poor, the orchestra drowns out the voices, the orchestration is overdone, the video is dark and it's even hard making out their faces. Particularly annoying is a loud hard drumbeat that seems to appear in every song, even the ballads. And as someone has already noted, the audio is so faint you have to turn your volume up to 99. A very disappointing purchase.

I have been following these boys since 2011, they were just school boys with a great big talent, in these short years they are now young men and they have become consummate , world class singers and world famous. They deserve every accolade they get, they are fantastic and this DVD is terrific as I had expected. Some people commented on the sound, it was a little weak and that is true , but just crank it up, I have my TV hooked up to a Stereo system so it was fine to me. Anyway this is first class entertainment, thanks BOYS another great DVD, I will see you in march in Ft. Myers florida for your concert, Looking forward to it, you finally made it to my home town! I had to go to Tampa and Miami for your other concerts, this time you came to me:) thank you.

All I can say is that this group (Gianluca/Ignacio/Piero) is sensational explosion of singing voices - as stunningly demonstrated in this concert from Pompii; and the three young men’s striking good looks merely added to Il Volo’s musical charisma - BRAVO!

I was apprehensive about buying this DVD because of the comments on the quality of the sound, the orchestra drowning out the vocals of Il Volo. My copy of the DVD was ok and I don't have a high tech sound system!. The only problem I had was that the sound engineer must like the sound of the drums. In my opinion the level of the drums was too high.But that said, the maturity of their voices, for their ages, is astonishing. I highly recommend this DVD. An excellent concert. Looking forward to seeing them in concert in the UK.In two words "buy it "

It’s horrendous. Rubbish. All contrived. These fabulous singers we’ve so enjoyed with their operatic training have really disappointed with these awful songs. The setting of Pompeii isn’t even mentioned. There is one opera aria. The rest is just playing to the American market. So VERY disappointing. We loved them at Florence with Domingo. They aren’t actually very good as ‘modern artists’ And even the audience at Pompeii look disappointed. Sentimental trash! These young Tenors are worth SO much more.

Got this for my girl friend and she loves it

very good

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to il Volo thank you for my recent purchase brilliant.
