Zien

"Zien" is a DVD of Marco Borsato, released in 2004. It was the first time an artist releases a new album on DVD. It was also the first time since 2000 Borsato released new music. (Two years earlier there was only the compilation Route). The DVD contains thirteen new songs including the No. 1 hits "Afscheid nemen bestaat niet" and "Voorbij" with the Dutch singer Do. The songs all have a music video, directed by Dick Maas, Johan Nijenhuis, Matthijs van Heijningen and Theo van Gogh. A short time later a CD version of "Zien" appeared, but this was not marketed. It was only available as promotional material for radio and TV stations and other media. The DVD was a huge success, and was for weeks at No. 1 in the DVD list. Marco received in 2005 two Edison awards for that, in the categories of Best Album and Best Dutch DVD. There are now 320,000 copies sold, accounting for four times platinum.
