DVD Reviews of Chris Botti: Live (With Orchestra and Special Guests) [Blu-ray]

DVD Review: Great Concert Amazing on Blu-ray
Summary: 5 Stars

If you missed the original concert on TV you have to see this one. It is amazing on Blu-Ray. I can't count the number of times we have watched this DVD with friends. We have seen Chris Botti live but this is even better than being there in person. Order it, sit back with a glass of wine, and enjoy!

DVD Review: Great Concert

DVD Review: Great...BUT NOT IN HI-DEF!!!
Summary: 3 Stars

Agree with all the "Great" reviews...but if you NOTICE people...when the
concert starts, switch to 480p!!!

Greetings from Mex.

DVD Review: Good Performances
Summary: 5 Stars

The blu ray version of this disc has excellent video quality. The sound is also excellent in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and PCM (uncompressed) 5.1. The clarity of the instruments were amazing and the sound stage is excellent when you play in Stereo mode. This is a good disc to have for a video/audio show case.

Description of Chris Botti: Live (With Orchestra and Special Guests) [Blu-ray]

Jazz trumpeter Chris Botti is mostly exquisite on this concert DVD, which gives old fans and new arrivals a chance to hear him apply his rich, expressive playing to a number of old standards, as well as one or two of his own compositions. Botti, along with a remarkable band including Billy Childs on piano and Billy Kilson on drums, plays six numbers as instrumentals but is joined on eight other performances by a few guests. Sans vocals, Botti warms up a delighted audience with a nice, if slightly exercised, take on "Someone to Watch Over Me," but proves magnificent on "When I Fall In Love" and especially Leonard Cohen's "A Thousand Kisses Deep." Then out glides old pal Sting (who invited Botti to join his own touring band some years ago), who has a nice go at "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?", followed by jazz-blues belter Jill Scott's terrific "Good Morning Heartache." Less effective are two appearances by Paula Cole, of which the second, "The Look of Love," doesn't work particularly well for anyone, including Botti and composer-pianist Burt Bacharach (also onstage). Renee Olstead sizzles up the joint with her kittenish "Pennies from Heaven," and Sting returns for a comic if touching "My Funny Valentine." --Tom Keogh

December 2005. Los Angeles, California. Trumpeter Chris Botti, on the heels of his break-through gold certified album "When I Fall In Love", and the record-breaking follow up "To Love Again", plays two triumphant shows at the Wilshire Theatre backed by a full orchestra and his virtuosic band. Playing repertoire mostly culled from these two hit albums, Chris is joined onstage by some of the world's most accomplished singers and musicians (in order of appearance) Sting, Jill Scott, Paula Cole, Burt Bacharach, Renee Olstead, Paul Buchanan and Gladys Knight. Filmed for the PBS Special "Chris Botti Live With Orchestra and Special Guests"....and now available on Blu-ray Disc. Presented in full 1080 High Definition and stunning high-fidelity uncompressed surround sound.
