No Eye Candy, Visually Disappointing

"I will preface that I do not claim to specifically be a Muriel Anderson fan, but I do like soothing guitar music, and was excited with the idea of having it combined with the visual beauty of nature. I am a huge fan of Discovery HD Sunrise Earth. This DVD fell completely flat of my expectations. (Which, no doubt, could be fixed by a more accurate description). This is an HD DVD of Muriel Anderson on stage performing, with the camera rarely showing anything other than her face or her hands, and almost subliminal flickers of nature scenes thrown in a such a scant and rare fashion that I cannot think why they even bothered other than to provide the misguided hook that caught me. If you want to look at Muriel up close in HD for long stretches, you will love this. If your expectations are anything otherwise, you may just try downloading or buying the audio (which is pleasant, but not dynamic), and playing Discovery HD in the background."

"Muriel Anderson is a great guitarist, and Blu-Ray only enhances that. Those of you who are not familiar with Muriel Anderson's work should pick this disc up. It's visually pleasing and worthwhile."

"The sound quality (Dolby Digital) of Muriel Anderson's guitar playing makes this disc. Her songs are accompanied by interesting nature scenes - most of them relate to the song titles."

Entrancing Guitar Music

"Muriel Anderson performs on stage with several other instrumental backups throughout this disc. The sound of her guitar is crystal clear while I was impressed by periodic closeups of her fast moving fingers. Although the concert is predominantly musical (no singing), Muriel does speak in between songs explaining songwriting inspirations. There are periodic and entertaining nature scenes that seem to relate to the song that are playing...As a guitar music fan, I really enjoyed A Guitarscape Planet and highly recommend it for a relaxing evening or background to a dinner party.
