My thought is that it would be a gift to all who love her. It probably will take time for them to be able to get pleasure from the tape or video.
I have a tape of my Mom & Dad & husband, Jim, on a Xmas eve -25 yrs. ago. My Dad talking about the "troubles" (in Eire)-was a history lesson for my husband. The jokes between them. My husband gave me an imitation persian lamb coat. My Dad was ecstatic over it-asked what kind of fur? Jim replys: "I really don't know--I just set a trap under the kitchen sink." To hear their laughter, so long absent from my ears, brings me joy to know we were all happy.
Just last year, I came across a tape of an Aunt who was visiting from England.She sang "After the Ball"-I sent it to her children in England. They phoned me (A first) to tell me what joy they had listening to it.
You would do no harm--and as you said - it's a privilege.
