Customer Reviews:
Beautiful but BlandMay 9, 2008 A. Korsner(London England) I am a great fan of arranger Jeremy Lubbock who has scored a few tracks on this album. "It never entered my mind" is one such track and is so amazing to be worth the price of the CD on its own. The album is, like Botti's others nice, attractive, enjoyable but without having the exitement that would bring the whole up to terrific. Botti plays nicely and there is nothing not to like on the album. Its a shame its just a little too bland for me. Wouldn't be without it though
EXCELLENTApril 13, 2008 Karen(Lakewood, Ohio USA) I think this is Chris's best CD to date! I love every single track on it though "Italia" is my favorite! Chris & Andrea together is simply magical!
What is Sony going to do about the missing audio tracks?January 15, 2008 F. M. Van Kershaver(Netherlands) First of all, this CD is really wonderful, and that is an understatement. Chris' music sents shivers down your spine. I'm not going to repeat all the superlatives mentioned by the other reviewers. But in my humble opinion this music has nothing to do with (smooth) jazz at all. This music surpasses any category.But.. I have one serious complaint. My DVD has no bonus tracks either. And because it is impossible to contact SonyBMG and Colombia Records through their websites, I take this opportunity to ask Sony what they are going to do about these "misprints".
Outrageous!January 7, 2008 Carrie Pena(New York, New York) I love this CD more than I can say. It is set to wake me up in the morning and always lets me rise in a calm and mellow mood, reacy to face the day with serenity. Miles has met his (posthumous) match.
My DVD is Missing the bonus tracksDecember 7, 2007 Kevin J. Roberts Excellent, but my copy of the DVD has NO bonus tracks anywhere, just the film
