Rating: - WOW -- You've been waiting for this!
An intimate look at Diana in a sold-out Paris concert, accompanied by a couple of her heroes, John Clayton and Jeff Hamilton among others. Those of us musicians who love Diana do so for her inspired piano work as well as the way she caresses every word of those lyrics -- It's all here, for over two lush and generous hours. There's something about the way she gets precision, emotion, and improvisation all working seamlessly together that is really astounding. But you know that. Don't be put off by the Bacharach thing -- this concert is Diana at her best, and you get the added bonus of watching her interact with the other great jazz players -- they're obviously all having a grand time -- as well as hear her relatively brief but sincere and friendly comments and wit between numbers. I almost forgot I was looking forward to seeing and hearing her Joni Mitchell tribute one more time on this DVD, but sure enough she comes out for a second encore and does it solo on the Steinway much as she did for Ms. Mitchell on the Joni tribute TV show last season, note-perfect. She manages to re-imagine every number while at the same time tipping her hat to Nat King Cole along the way (and sneaking in a rock riff or two). Even THE LOOK OF LOVE arrangement is edgy on this recording. Fear not -- this is first rate Diana with great visuals and surround sound, and you will not only be glad you risked buying this live 2 hour and 10 minute concert but you will find yourself grinning all the way through it. Oh, and she looks great too, but she lets slip that her fantasy man is George Clooney, so I'm out of luck. My copy is anamorphic widescreen, by the by.
Rating: - ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!
Where do i begin? Anyone even remotely interested in jazz, or just great music, MUST own this dvd, period. I just got finished watching this wonderful concert on dvd, and the experience was breathtaking. Her jazz band is so tight and perfect, they are so passsionate about their music, and it shows during this show in Paris, the love, the joy of making great music, great art. I have never heard a concert sound this awesome on dvd, simply put, the dts 5.1 surround sound is perfection, its as if you are in Paris with diana, front row and center, amazing! Of course i love her jazz selections most of all, her slower ballads are not as awesome, with the one exception being, "cry me a river", that is awesome, and when she closes with her second encore, joni mitchell's, " a case of you", you will be spellbound! But its on the jazz numbers where your jaw will drop, this lady is already a legend, and when she plays jazz, you close your eyes, and the music washes over you, and you get swept up in pure ecstacy, she is that good, no wait, when her career is finished, they will speak of this lady in the same reverential tones as they speak of ella fitzgerald, and that is speaking volumes about Diana Krall, All i can say is this, I know music, anyone who doesnt own "diana krall, live in paris", is cheating themselves out of one of life's great pleasures, this dvd is a must own. Thank you, goodnight.
Rating: - New DVD is an excellent effort
I saw Diana Krall in Concert in early 2001 in Sarasota, FL. She gave a disappointing 70 minute performance and there were rumors of sour notes between her and event organizers. I bought the DVD because I love her CD's and she is obviously very talented. I wanted to give her live performance another chance. You will not be disappointed as this performance backed by orchestra and all the players surpasses her standard tour show in almost everyway possible. Plus, its one third the cost of taking your wife to the concert; not to mention dinner and drinks. Krall is an awesome musician but if there is a weekpoint it has to be her dialogue with the audience. Buy it !Comments about the DVD tech: 1. the picture is beautiful. I need to get the name of the set designer as the colors are emotive. 2. Widescreen - I usually hate it; but it is only a little letter box and the closeups are closeup. 3. Camera work is good as it would get a little stagnant the same shot all the time. Tastefully Artsy.
