Music reviews of My Romance: An Evening With Jim Brickman
Music Review: A relative "ok"
Rating: 3 Stars
Just had a listen to this live in concert CD by Jim Brickman...Brief: If you've never heard Jim's work before then you're in for a treat as this is a relative "best of" album albeit live (some prefer, some not...I prefer studio performances in general). If you own Jim's other CDs like I do, unless a live performance is a big value add, I'd have just as well skipped buying this CD and will be selling mine on....
Details:
Jim's piano is superb as ever. Jim takes to the microphone in "The Love I Found in You" and while he can carry a tune, I think he's better served by guest vocalists in general. Speaking of which, while I like Olivia Newton-John generally, her performances here for me either lacked the depth of emotion or perhaps were over-wrought...hmmmm. By contrast, "Valentine," sung by Martina McBride on the album "Picture This" left me in rapture...
By Heart as performed by Anne Cochran was enjoyable enough although yet just not in the same league when compared with version in the original title track by Laura Creamer. breath-taking.
Love of My Life with Donny Osmond is the vocal gem on this album with Donny reaching down to give a really good performance.
Summary: If you're new to Jim Brickman and enjoy live best-of albums, My Romance will provide an enjoyable introduction to the artist. But for my money, I'd go with the originals: By Heart, and Picture This, and if you already have them and aren't deeply attractived to a "Live" recorded performance, I'd skip it and wait for Jim's next.
Description of My Romance: An Evening With Jim Brickman
It's not the Grammy Awards. It's not the platinum discs. The premier status symbol among New Age-classified musicians is landing the starring role in your own public-television special, and pianist Jim Brickman deservedly joins the short list of artists granted such pledge-attracting exposure. Brickman's two sides--as composer of intelligent, pop-impressionistic instrumental works and as stardusted romantic songwriter--are displayed equally on My Romance, recorded live in Salt Lake City in March, 2000. Brickman, an amiable host, is in vigorous form here, and his instrumental selections again reveal his uncommon talent for pulling heartstrings from an elevated plane, intertwining lovely melodies with a wistful harmonic flair in ways that satisfy listeners cerebrally and emotionally. David Benoit contributes to a splendid duet on "Glory," one of the disc's five new pieces. Even so, ardent fans who own all of Brickman's earlier works may view this disc as an attractive souvenir but not an indispensable recording. Donny Osmond and Olivia Newton-John (who cowrote a new ballad, "Change of Heart," with Brickman) appear as guest vocalists, and Brickman himself makes an agreeable vocal debut on "The Love I Found in You," one of two pieces featuring Dave Koz. Although "Circles," a new instrumental, is surprisingly mundane, the back-to-back rendering of "Freedom" and "Edgewater," two of his most expressive compositions, is the disc's highlight. --Terry WoodNew Age CDs
