In the news: Best DVDs of 2017

In UK-magazine “Record Collector” (January 2018) Paul Simon’s The Concert in Hyde Park is mentioned as one of the best music DVDs released in 2017.

The magazine writes: ” It unfussily focuses on the strenghts of Simon and his brilliant band. These enormo-gigs don’t often come across brilliantly one the moment has passed, but the proPaul Simon The Concert in Hyde Parkducers have done a fine job in bottling the magic, without the toilet queues. There aren’t many capable of pulling crowds of this size  where you’d say the songs are the draw above the mythology  surrounding the artist, but the outpouring of pan-generational love that greets most of these suggest that’s the case with Simon. Here he performs them with the energy and respect they deserve, making it a must for fans.”
