Tim Minchin and the Heritage Orchestra (2011 Video) User Reviews

Breathtaking

[somathus-1 · 10/10 · 13 June 2014]

Tim Minchin an amazing virtuoso. The breadth and scope of this man's creativity come together in waves of irreverent ,honest and beautiful lyrics.His piano playing is truly marvelous and is backed with fabulous orchestration. If you're open to new ideas and truly magical melodies this is for you. I must warn you though. This music has the potential of jumping inside your head where it will manifest in moments of its choosing.If you want fun,if you want entertainment and of course a rich tapestry of musical exploration then this is for you. If,however you're easily offended then may i suggest some elevator music. This music is dazzling and brilliant. It's not an easily traversed terrain but once you cross it your heart will never be the same.

a classic performance

Tim Minchin is a national treasure. He is a magnificently talented musician and composer. But what makes him stand out is the social critique, wry and self-deprecating humor of the lyrics: each song is a little vignette, sometimes provocative, sometimes dryly introspective. Minchin delivers with a superb and timely comedic sense. His performances are always engaging, energetic and funny. His blend of comedy and musical performance is quite unique and worth checking. This performance was recorded live at the Royal Albert Hall in 2011, and Minchin was accompanied by the 55 piece Heritage Orchestra. It's a thoroughly enjoyable concert.

Absolutley Tim

A magnificent performance, as usually. There's nothing bad about this. Two and a half hours of absolute, unmitigated delight.

Unless you're a fundamentalist Christian. You're not going to like it if you're a fundamentalist Christian.

Otherwise, I can not recommend this highly enough.
