Björk at the Royal Opera House (2002)
an overwhelming experience

This exquisitely filmed and recorded concert at the Royal Opera House (the 5.1 surround entirely envelopes the listener) showcases Bjork at her finest-- and helps underscore the distance between her talent, knowledge, and unpretentiousness from the vapidity of the American pop divas currently running rampant around the globe. Mahler collides with techno, Benjamin Britten mingles with Matmos, and the ethereal sounds of a stunning Inuit choir mesh seamlessly with Bjork's completely unique own voice (which has never seemed stronger nor clearer than in this concert). A singular experience: a sonic (and visual) odyssey as complex and rewarding as the artist herself.
