5.0 out of 5 stars Mesmerizing
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2014

I've been a jazz drummer wannabe for over 45 years and count on various DVD's by the likes of Peter Erskine Antonio Sanchez, Jeff Hamilton, Bill Stewart all in a variety of groups and venues as inspiration in attempts to elevate my craft . I caught a tantalizing piece, the last 20 minutes or so of this mind blowing documentary when it aired on a local PBS station. Ms. Glennie a master percussionist who went deaf as a child, shares her insight and wonder at sound around us and how she integrates it into her music. A snare drum solo on the polished floor of the the star topped cavernous space of Grand Central Terminal is one of the greatest shows of percussion dynamics I've seen or heard. Highlight of the DVD is her sharing an industrial space with guitarist Fred Frith. The gritty abandoned post industrial setting becomes integral to the "in the moment" score; pipes, railings, beams, echoes, plus a broad range of various ethnic percussion instruments and Mr. Firths infinite ability to make stringed instruments break new sonic ground are alone worth the price of the DVD. Evelyn Glennie is mesmerizing, a genius if her craft, this DVD was one of the single most inspiring life of music treatise I've seen in decades and altered my practicing habits and playing since. The score, locations, photography and editing are brilliant. After two enthralling viewings a new personal direction, can't ask for more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beauty and Mind Expansion
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2007
Verified Purchase
An utterly absorbing portrayal of an artist who discovers and produces beauty out of unusual materials, and whose work expands one's sense of what music is (and what sound is). The result is not just the chance to hear beautiful music, but also an enrichment of one's sense of living in a world of sound, and an attentiveness to an aspect of life often unnoticed. The documentary includes generous selections of music and interviews with Evelyn Glennie, who is not only charming and very articulate, but who also has thought deeply about her work and consequently has a lot to say about it. The film was made by the filmaker of Rivers and Tides (about the artist Andy Goldsworthy), and has the same mixture of wonder, mind-expansion, and sheer pleasure as that film. In this golden era of documentaries, this film standfs out as one of the best.

4.0 out of 5 stars A meditation on sound, hearing and the art of music
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2009
Verified Purchase
A beautifully filmed montage of various settings in which sound and music play important roles. Our guide is the ever playful and ever competent percussionist Evelyn Glennie. Segments of this film can be shown to open the world of different musics to students who have limited exposure to music other than that of the pop culture. Glennie relishes in hearing and in creating every conceivable kind of sound. Interspersed in the montage of sounds are bits of her life's story. Her deafness seems to have made her more sensitive to the wide range of rhythms, timbers, genres, cultures of the world of music and sound. The pace is meditative, reflective, with beautiful images to complement the sounds heard on the film. When shown in short clips, the film can be effective learning impetus for those who want to expand their repertoire of known and loved musical styles. There is much to contemplate and savor in "Touch the Sound".

And eye and ear-opening look at our relationship to sound, and how powerful sound can be. As a musician and healer, I know well the power of sound to soothe, to inspire, to uplift, heal, agitate, to create sacred space. Glennie's greatest gift for me was the understanding that our entire being can be a resonating chamber for sound. Take it a step further, and it is clearer than ever that Sound is the Stuff that holds the entire universe and everything in it together. Beautifully filmed, expertly recorded, endlessly engaging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-Have for percussionists
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2008
Verified Purchase
I do not buy DVDs. That said, after renting this one I had to have it. I have watched it twice in the last month. There is so much eye candy that you never get enough. The music is complex enough to withstand repeated listening but accessible enough for the average musician. I also enjoy refreshing my memory with some of Evelyn's words of wisdom. Recommended for all musicians and cross-discipline artists. A must-have for percussionists.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Sound Escape
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2007

This movie really captures the way sound influences our body and how limited of a view we have of an important source of information in our environment. Evelyn is truly gifted and this window into her world is fascinating. This is a slow movie compared to the usual sound bites we're used to in this day and age and I like that about it.

Un DVD molto bello ed interessante. Unico neo non ha sottotitoli in Italiano. Comunque immagini, suoni e dialoghi ok. Adatto per amanti dei ritmi ma soprattutto adatto a chi ama l'artista E. Glennie. Per me molto bello.

Art Matters: The Art of Knowledge/The Knowledge of Art

I am a huge fan of Dame Evelyn. I have had the privilege of having seen her live twice in performance with the Toronto Symphony. She is in such command of her instruments.

This documentary is more about how she copes as a deaf musician. It shows how she learned to "hear" through her body. We see this in performance when she plays barefoot or just in stocking feet. She "hears" through the vibrations.

Some of the besr scences are when she is working with another hard of hearing music student. Dame Evelyn tells the student to take off her hearing aid and feel the music.

We also see Dame Evelyn in performance in different contexts. I especially enjoyed the ncollaboration with Fred Frith.

In short, a great documentary about an extraordinary person who did not let hear deafness prevent her from being an extraordinary musician.

5.0 out of 5 stars リズム。ダイナミズム。
Reviewed in Japan on October 25, 2007

タイトルからもわかるように、この映画は「音」をテーマにした映画だ。知っているけれど普段は気にとめてない音を、エヴリンと一緒に感じ、意識に刻み付けていく。
でも音だけではなく映像もすごくいい。想像を裏切ったり広げたりする画面の切り替えやアングルなどのカメラワーク。

あとは彼女と、旅で出会った人々との対話とか。

正直この映画のことを知るまでエヴリンのことを知らなかったけど、映画の中での彼女はとても魅力的で、才能に溢れ、好奇心旺盛で、ちょっとの不安を感じていて、とても人間らしい。
駅でスネアドラムを叩くシーン、和太鼓とのセッション、日本の街中で彷徨う瞳が特に印象的でした。
