Live at the Royal Albert Hall is a trip down memory lane both for fans of Englebert Humperdinck and light-entertainment shows. In true Variety style, toothy dancing girls and an orchestra made up of Tom Selleck lookalikes complement the King of Romance. Covers of early-80s hits such as the Pointer Sister's "I'm So Excited", along with "Hello" and "I Just Called to Say I Love You" get priority over Englebert's own songs. Humperdinck favourites like "Quando, Quando, Quando", "Mona Lisa" and "Les Bicyclettes de Belsize" are instead performed in greatest hits medleys. While the velvety voiced medallion man may be a first-rate performer, this release is compromised by poor sound and visual quality. Recorded in 1985 the songs may have stood the test of time but unfortunately the footage and the sound material doesn't stand up to the rigours of the digital age.
On The DVD: Disadvantaged by the poor quality of the recording, the extras fail to add any value to the DVD. The standard Englebert Humperdinck "life story" press release is replicated in the biography option, which is near impossible to read on screen due to the use of tiny font and the text falling out of the frame. The discography is similarly poor and is made up of the track listing of a selection of his albums, and is by no means comprehensive. The concert tracks however can be accessed individually from the main menu.--John Galilee
