Dziekuje Bardzo (5 Stars)


After buying "Rheingold" last month I was eager to buy another Klaus Schulze concert on DVD. I was happy to see that the DVD release of "Dziekuje Bardzo" is still available. The CD with the same name contains two concerts, Berlin (12th November 2008) and Warsaw (13th November 2008). The DVD contains only the Warsaw concert, along with a small featurette.

The music is perfect. It shows Klaus Schulze and Lisa Gerrard at their best. As at the Rheingold concert, Lisa stands aloof, never once looking at Klaus, spending most of the time with her eyes closed. In this concert she displays a strange mannerism. At the end of each song she turns to Klaus and laughs. It's like a girlish giggle. This is missing from the CD, and rightly so, but it's a beautiful addition to the live concert on DVD.

The featurette isn't as informative as the documentary on the Rheingold DVD. It shows Klaus setting up his equipment on stage in Berlin (not Warsaw), and there are brief snippets of Klaus and Lisa on stage in Berlin. Lisa talks about her feelings when she met Klaus, saying she has the greatest respect for him not just as a musician but also as a person.

Here are a few screenshots from the concert:






Of course, pictures alone can't give a good impression of the concert. You need to listen to the music.
