Botti et al are amazing!
If you're looking for a wonderful evening in, to relax and simply enjoy an amazing concert without the hassles of travel, tickets, getting a good seat, etc.,
then this is for you. Can't say enough good things about this concert!
Phenomenal Sound
I bought this album because of the 7.1 DD Surround sound, there are not so many BluRay discs with 7.1.
I was really surprised, I know Chris Botti not that good, but I heard some tracks from him,so thats why I bought this.
Its like if you are in the concerthall, really phenomenal.
Very satisfied!
Way to go Sony. You have put together a great audio and visual production that allows the viewer to feel as if they are in the Boston music hall. I enjoyed the extras content with a behind the scenes look at how everything was put together. I recommend this Blu-Ray to any fan or music lover. You can't ask for much more except for more of the same in the future.
Great looking Blu-Ray, fantastic concert, Botti will blow you away
This is a great looking Blu-ray perhaps one of the best out currently as far as music/concerts are concerned. Whether you are a jazz fan or not, whether you like the trumpet or not, you will appreciate this blu-ray. Many a day I've come home thrown this in the Ps3, poured myself a glass of red wine and relaxed. This concert will have that effect on you, Botti's music has the ability to transform your day from stressful misgivings and burdens to blissful peace. The concert itself looks great but the sound is where it's will amaze. I also recommend Chris's other blu-ray but I think this one is slightly better. Like his previous BR Sting shines and Botti's friends and musical associates all add their own unique touch. There's a few songs that don't quite work on this BR, Josh Grobin's duet with Sting seemed a bit forced, I think Grobin over sings quite a bit on this BR actually(I guess that's his style) and Steven Tyler signing cryin' was utterly ridiculously and completely out of character for this concert. I cringe even at the thought of that song. Even with those short comings however, this concert is still amazing and truly is a must own for blu-ray music/concert collectors.
New Fan!
I've heard some of his music some time ago but was not a really a big fan untill I got this Blu-ray disc. The Quality of his music along with it being Blu-ray, and the audio quality really won me over. This is a really fun concert to watch as the song selection never gets boring. He brings out some realy top notch guests to play and have sing along with band. I mean really top notch, Yo Yo Ma's performance (as usual) was really heart felt, and when Steven Tyler sang to his father, that was special. This whole concert is filled with special songs and feelings. The quality of the video, video mix, audio, audio mix is also special and with feeling. Just an all around over the top performance and it's on Blu-ray!!!! Keep'um commin!!!!
I wish Amazon had a 3 Criteria rating that would make for a quicker and more accurate and fair rating of Cd's, DVD's and Blu-ray's.
1. Performance
2. Quality of Audio
3. Quality of Video (for DVD's and Blu-ray's)
1.*****
2.*****
3.*****
Bands that wish to have there performances recorded and recognised should be held to a standard. Poor audio, no matter how good the performance, is still a bad product. Those who would still purchase sub-standard audio quality recordings and rank that product highly are not doing the industry or the band justice. Demand better and we will get it, settle for less and that's what you'll get.
