Re: Washington Concert DVD

Wow! I could not even begin to imagine seeing such a stand in a music store in the United States. It still amazes me how popular they are in east Asia; greeted (mobbed) by hoards of screaming fans and marketed like rock stars.

Re: Libera Photoshoot

Libera updated their Facebook page with this photo as their profile picture. It must have been taken during that same photo shoot.

Re: USA spring tour 2015...

I do not see how attendance did not play a role. Only about one-third of the seats were ever sold. I was checking regularly because the Warner Theatre is a large and not inexpensive venue for them to perform at and I was worried from the beginning about their ability to fill those seats; as you can ...

Re: USA spring tour 2015...

Oh jeez. This is one of those times where my prediction proved to be most unfortunately correct. :(

As it is not feasible for me to travel to any of the other concerts, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until some future tour.

This is a real bummer.

Re: Washington Concert DVD

In this day and I age do not think there is any avoiding someone putting part of it, or all of it, online unfortunately. Every other recording they have ever put out has ended up on YouTube and elsewhere. Ultimately, the hope is that every such exposure gets them noticed by those who had never heard...

This Is Libera 2015

Libera added a new profile video on YouTube. It seems to have some old clips and some newer ones as well that I have never seen before; like Isaac and Alex wearing Soviet hats lol.

Re: Washington Concert DVD

I just watched my Blu-ray, I really don't see much to complain about though it would have been nice if they hadn't rolled the credits over the last song. Is the 'dubbed' part everyone is complaining about where several of the boys were giving short speeches in their family's native tongues? yes i n...

Re: Washington Concert DVD

There's a few bits of oddities with the editing of the video... for example rolling the end credits over 'Song of Life' and having the standing ovation at the end of 'Sanctus'. Maybe those who haven't read the reviews from last year will be none-the-wiser but I would have preferred for them to capt...

Libera Photoshoot

Today Libera has been tweeting out silly photos of the choristers taken during a formal photo shoot with captions informing us that these are head shots for the US tour. This suggests that they are likely to do for the US tour what they did in the Philippines or Japan or both (I can't recall), a few...

Re: Washington Concert DVD

It's amazing what a bit of prime-time TV exposure can do for you - not only is the new CD top of the amazon vocal charts and No2 overall classical, 4 other past albums are inside the top 21... Eternal (8), Angel Voices (13) and even the Christmas in Ireland CD is at 21. Libera in America is also po...

Re: Washington Concert DVD

Thank you, TullyBascombe, very interesting to hear that. That version is so not the bluegrass version I had always heard.

Re: Washington Concert DVD

The only song on the album I still feel like I have to warm up to is "Wayfaring Stranger" because my mind still hasn't quite accepted a choral version with classical instruments of this traditional folk song. Well, I guess it just depends upon what you're used to. I first heard "Wayf...

Re: Washington Concert DVD

I got the iTunes download that includes the extra song "I Vow To Thee My Country" plus a digital booklet; which is the PDF version of the CD insert. I was listening much of the day yesterday and I have to say I am enjoying this new album. They did an excellent job in post-production of cle...

Re: Washington Concert DVD

Saw the concert on a PBS broadcast. It was excellent.

There is something that happens with the microphone (some sort of feedback) when Tom speaks in Spanish to introduce "Wonderful World" and he starts cracking up along with Sam. :lol:
