Great Live Perfromance

The performances are great and the recording quality is exceptional. Many live performance recordings are a big let-down. Not this one!

This two-CD set is recorded concert performance at its best. Originally recorded in 1962, Tony Bennett at Carnegie Hall is a testament to Bennett’s live vocal ability. Backed by the Ralph Sharon Orchestra, Bennett moves far beyond his standard musical catalogue. Along with standards like “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” and “Just in Time,” Bennett reached out to create great medleys such as “(I Like New York in June) How About You/April in Paris,” that automatically become his as soon as they are performed. Forty-four tracks altogether, this latest printing of the concert is the first to cover the entire performance. Most remarkable is the clarity of the recording of the concert. If not for the tremendous applause of the audience, you could swear that Bennett had recorded each track in the studio. This is the Tony Bennett album to buy for any Bennett fan or those just introduced to his music. – Christopher Fielder
