Such a Class Act, Kick-Ass Concert with All the Best of the Best

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 11, 2023

I have listening to this recording as many times as any other I can recall and loved it each time. I got it between the first time I saw his show with a major symphony and the last time, just a few years ago when he was really having some trouble vocalizing Alfie (which, bless his heart, he insisted on doing even though he had some fantastic singers he could have thrown it to). The guy always surrounded himself with great musicians and singers who had the right style and range to best interpret his body of work. I miss him so much right now, and he's only been going a couple days!!

I've had this CD for years. My old one got to many scratches and I had to reorder another. This is one of the best CD's I've ever owned. It has so many songs that I have loved for years..Burt is the best. You'll never be sorry you've owned it.

What a disappointment this CD is. I was hoping for all orchestrations. Instead he has unknown vocalists singing his iconic songs, and his voice, never strong but always sweet, is painful to hear. I'm sorry I bought this CD. It's not worth keeping.

WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT... BURT?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 3, 2009

I am a HUGE Burt Bacharach fan, ever since I was 12 years old. As I have gotten older I have appreciated his music more and more. What a fantastic collection of his work gathered on one CD. His music never grows old and to hear it over and over again is a treat I can't say about many artist. I can listen to Anyone Who Had A Heart, One Less Bell, A House Is Not A Home and Make It Easy On Yourself until the cows come home and never tire of them. Alfie has to be one of the greatest songs ever written. Hal David's lyrics are as timely as Burt's music, and the two of them have given us so many wonderful songs that will live on forever. This CD is brilliant. One of my most prized possessions is my autographed picture of Burt, it hangs in a place of honor. Although I wasn't present at this concert, I have been lucky enough to witness him in concert and what an honor and privilege it was to be in the same room as one of my heroes and then to have him sign his photo after the show was a dream come true.

Simply good

Mr. Bacharach's latest cd is a true keper for all fans of either Burt's interpretations of his own material, and to those who are familiar with his work. Personally, I find myself in the first: I am a huge fan of Burt's own material. Sure, I like many of Dionne's songs, but to listen to Burt's brilliance in orchestration, melody and use of different instruments is just awesome. The previous 2 live Burt cds were ok: 1972'2 'Live in Japan'* which is not available in the US (but you can get it if you either buy the 'Something Big' box set OR pay up to $50 for the Japanese release) and 'One Amazing Night' has recent acts doing the maestro's work, with Burt on piano.
PLUSES:
If you want to relax, take it easy and expose yourself to how a song should be written and performed, listen to 'Live at the Sydney Opera House'.
MINUSES:
It would've been nice to listen to Burt doing tracks of 'At This Time' or anything from the 'Woman' album, possibly 'New York Lady'.
* I have always wondered why 'Living Together', 'Live in Japan' 'Futures', or 'Woman' have never been officially released in the US.

The work of a lifetime

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 2, 2009

I've watched Burt Bacharach's career closely for over 40 years. I think it's remarkable to find a craftsman still polishing gems that have been displayed for decades and approaching this speculular effort delivering such energy, interest in new arrangements, and a passion for leaving such an impactful performance on anyone who hears this. For a writer and record producer he has been a rare success story to cross as a performer. Yet remember, he started as a conductor and understands live audiences. He produces and guards every detail of his work with one thing in mind, making sure his fans were pleased.
This CD borders on being overwhelming as one realizes the depth of his lifetime of work. This CD is the cream of the crop. He's written over 500 songs. These titles have stood the test of time, will live forever, and this performance is a look at his legacy of hard work. I ordered multiple copies and gave as Christmas presents. He has clearly been a gift to our world as well as to my life. It is a treasure.

For Bacharach Fans and Collectors

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 27, 2009

Verified Purchase

This live album is strictly for diehard fans of Burt Bacharach and collectors, like myself. There is nothing new on the CD as far as song selection goes. There are new renditions and arrangements of his old classics sung by Burt's current trio of vocalists: Josie James, John Pagano and Donna Taylor, although in the case of the two women, it is not indicated which one is singing which songs. I like to know who is doing what. I consider that the record producer's oversight. Burt himself, too, sings on several tracks--"Alfie", "The Look of Love", "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" and "Wives & Lovers".

great music but vocals don't improve the original versions

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2009

Verified Purchase

This is a lovely cd,and for some reason the male performances are more interesting than the female performers. Perhaps this is because Dionne Warwick was and is the stellar interpreter of the David/Bacharach songbook.
But all quibbling aside a Bacharach live symphony recording is a treat for us fans!
The price is great too!
Long live Burt!!

Wonderful Music

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

I saw Burt Bacharach at the Royal Festival Hall in July 201, a great evening featuring many of his wonderful songs. This CD is practically the same running order as the London concert and I wanted to re-live the evening over and over again. The 3 vocalists have lovely voices and did credit to the various songs they sang. Mr Bacharach is truly a brilliant composer and musician.

Burt hits again

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 27, 2016

Burt is a legend, a composer, knows how to orchestrate for instrument and voice. The hits are all here, the singers top notch and the overall production is great. Still think his Japanese LP from the 70's is better though.
