Composer Kitaro, with a Golden Globe Award, Grammy nomination, and two dozen albums to his credit, is revered most for his ability to embody the human spirit in his music. Today, Kitaro's music is increasingly progressive,... more » full of innovative touches. Resonant with exotic Japanese instruments as well as the more familiar guitar, flute, and drums, it shimmers one minute and rumbles the next, by turns soothing and stirring, atonal and rhythmic, orchestrally full and dramatic, yet surprisingly intimate, with the ability to transport the listener on a far-reaching musical journey that draws refrains of East and West together.

"I have been an admirer of Kitaro and his music for many years,he writes for the soul,he is a genius. This DVD was unavailable here in Australia, so it was wonderful to view Kitaro in concert. I do have resevations on the Visual quaility of this DVD,however, Iwas very dissapointed to view a grainy, poorly produced DVD, it looks like a video tape copy to be honest, The Audio is fine, This transfer does not show Kitaro at his best, if you are prepared to view a poor transfer , if only to see this great artist at work, go for it, This cost me over A$50.00 to have the pleasure of owning this artist on DVD live. Come on Pioneer Entertainment you can produce good DVDs what went wrong with this one?"
An amazing performance !

"For those of us who have not had the opportunity to hear and see Kitaro in a live performance, "An Enchanted Evening" is the next best thing ! The spiritual power evoked in the drum section of "Chant from the Heart" is extraordinary, and even though on occasion the "seeing" detracts from the purely transcendent experience of just listening, this is a video worth owning, and a must in any Kitaro collection !"

"For all Kitaro fans this is the DVD to own, in my opinion the Enchanted Evening CD is one of his masterpieces and this DVD is simply incredible both with the music quality and the fact of really seing Kitaro performing in full dobly digital. If you like Kitaro, give yourself a treat and buy this incredible DVD."

"The cd is great but the dvd is mediocre. The video quality is only up to vhs standards. And the photography - well you can only watch superimposed images for so long. I love KITARO, but I would pass on this dvd."

"Between each song, there are interviews with Kitaro. The interviews are done in a beautiful, scenic background and are nice for those who want to learn more about Kitaro. I wanted music only."
