    Brilliant

    I am a big fan of Chess the Musical and saw it several times in London some years ago now; I have owned the CD since then. When I heard about Chess the Concert (it was too late to see it) I was sceptical, the voices would be different the arrangements would be altered to suit voices ect. I have just finished watching this (on home cinema kit) Brilliant! The performances were top notch and raised the hairs on the back of my neck and brought a lump to my throat.

    I was disappointed by the lack of extra material on the DVD but I am hoping it will be different on the Blu Ray disc. If you are a Chess fan you should buy this or at the very least rent it, you wont regret it.
