This is a great companion DVD to the Ian Anderson Plays the Orchestral Jethro Tull CD that has also been released. Joined by the Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt Orchestra, Ian and his solo band run through many Tull and Anderson hits, and when joined by the orchestra the sound is magic. If you have the 2 CD set, then you have basically everything here, as it is the same show and the set list is the same. As always, Ian Anderson is a great showman, and while he may not race around the stage like he did 20 or 30 years ago, he still brings what would be a fairly calm orchestral evening to greater heights thanks to his energetic stage presence and witty commentary. I loved the version of the Aqualung classic "Mother Goose" , complete with bassoon, oboe, and accordion, as it gave a wonderful flavor to the piece. What's great here though is after the wonderful "Bouree", when Ian announces that the band is taking a 20 minute break, we then get treated to a 48 minute interview with Ian in the studio where he talks about his decision to record these classic songs with the orchestra and other musicians. Hearing his thoughts on how much of a perfectionist he has been over the years yet admitting that he makes numerous mistakes on stage every night I thought was great to include, as are his comments about the limitations of his voice and his decision to concentrate on the flute in the early years. He brings up the opnion that Peter Gabriel stopped playing flute in Genesis so he wouldn't be compared to himself, which was funny to hear, and may be true. This is Ian Anderson being very personal for the camera and long time fans will love this part of the DVD.
Of the orchestral tracks, there's a ton of highlights, namely "Budapest", "Living in the Past", "Life is a Long Song", "My God", and "Locomotive Breath", and the holiday pieces "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and "We Five Kings" are especially timely. This is highly recommended stuff for all Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull enthusiasts, and one of the better "rock meets orchestra" projects available.
