Summary: don't miss it....despite the cuts
Comment: Not even this evil editor was able to hide Joaquin's genius. Even though you can NEVER really see his work, you can guess it despite the outrageous cuts that compromise the entire DVD. You would really want to see Joaquin's choreography and movements, but NO, you are forced to look at microphones, beards, wires, cavities and whatever else was in the editor's mind. What was he thinking? It's real torture. And yet, Joaquin is right there, and worth every second he is on the screen. Buy this DVD, no matter what. Just pray that Joaquin won't hire the same editor next time.

Summary: Live at the Royal Albert Hall
Comment: This DVD is a fascinating example of the art of flamenco dancing. Joaquin Cortes is brilliant, and in my opinion, the best flamenco dancer in the world. He is so passionate about what he does, and that radiates in each and every performance. A must see!

Summary: The prodigal son!
Comment: In this historical document dated from 2001, Joaquin Cortés displays all his unbeatable art in this difficult genre, product of many crossed rhythms and musical influences, giving a successful hybrid that works out with sublime grace; he exhibits grace, charisma, frame of mind. And he also prepares the necessary choreography and ensemble process with his string sections, bass, female singers, percussionists, guitars, Peru an box, drums and cata (an African instrument) built a solid and extraordinarily convincing spectacle that engaged not only the successful audience that literally stowed the Royal Albert hall, but besides, all the viewers who enjoyed this outstanding spectacle.
My only complaint has nothing to do with Cortes, but the terrific process of edition and filming; the camera literally forbade us to enjoy highlights moments focusing faces and dismissing Cortez heel wonders. What a pity!

Summary: Fantastico !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment: this DVD is a well-produced overview of a fantastic performance of a tremendous flamenco ensemble !!! all the performances blend into one power-full flow of Flamenco "Duende" !!! maestro Cortes' dancing definately benefits from an incredible group of musicians & is the best high energy male flamenco dancing you could ever wish to see on a big stage [although Flamenco, for my tastes,is best experienced in small Juergas as opposed to the concert stage]... what impresses me most is the cohesive energy of the entire group more than Cortes' individual dancing & that's what the producer of the film focused on when filming... i can see where Flamenco dancers would be deeply disappointed by the production's constant variety of views BUT the overall effect of the video is one of the best modern Flamenco stage performances i have ever seen captured for viewers to deeply experience anytime they are in the mood to be blown away by a "locomotive-like" flamenco troupe... definitely an incredible experience thru a good sound/video system but not a great dance instruction video... perhaps next time, Cortes will take such constructive criticism to heart & spend more time having the camera focusing on his dance routines on film & less on the other aspects of the show... still, this is a "must have" to any gypsy lovers' DVD collection... FANTASTICO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
