Symphonica

Product Information

Praying For Time was originally released as the lead single on Michael’s second solo album Listen Without Prejudice Vol. The pricing is really competitive and service is fantastic, especially if I've had an inquiry - the staff are knowledgeable and helpful.

Thankfully, the sibilance isn’t a detracting element on the original studio recording, so the song can still be thoroughly enjoyed via that release.

The three songs removed were Roxanne, Going To A Town, and You Have Been Loved; all are exceptional performances and worthy of inclusion. If the label goes to the trouble of remastering a release for the Apple Digital Master program, then why are the more complete editions omitted from this process? Interestingly the Deluxe Edition (also not certified as an Apple Digital Master) tacks I Remember You to the backend of the album. Released in 2014, George Michael’s Symphonica is a fluid masterpiece that melds exceptional live performances, captured between 2011-12, with studio mastery thereby ensuring the music and Michael’s vocal talents take centre stage with few distracting elements.The only aspect that I wish they had worked on a little more would have been the reduction of sibilance in Michael’s vocals. The song is just so soothing, especially as it’s presented in a lullaby style, and Michael performed it beautifully. Michael’s vocal has always had a tad of sibilance, so I look upon it as artistic expression at this stage, but on a couple of the songs, it’s quite pronounced and temporarily takes you out of an otherwise relaxed experience.

Roxanne will appeal to any fan of The Police for this live recording is a beautiful interpretation of their original tune from their 1978 release, Outlandos d’Amour.

He re-defined popular music with his debut solo album, 1987's FAITH and has subsequently crafted a substantial, enormously popular body of work.

Yes, dear reader, I’m one of those music lovers who doesn’t have a problem with artists using backing tracks at a concert if that’s what it takes to put on a good show. We were so excited to hear it on her new record player Xmas morning, but when we played Feel Good Inc, the song skipped.

As described above, we use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. Nevertheless, you might suggest that given the Dolby Atmos mix is enjoyable, that this is the version I should enjoy going forward. The orchestral elements are off the charts and are not that far removed from Michael’s original interpretation, while Michael’s velvety smooth vocal ensures that Brother Can You Spare A Dime will remain in the social consciousness for decades to come. The horn section in this song is perfectly balanced and I appreciate this as sometimes the brashness of brass instruments can overpower a song. The strummed introduction, intermingled with vocals and subtle symphonic elements, sets the tone for the entire album and subsequent performances.For us audiophile-focused music lovers, however, it’s a substantial element for we strive to attain the best possible release. Yes, incorporating these tracks would have gone beyond the limits of a single CD, but it would have been wonderful to have greater cohesion between versions by limiting the tracks, across all releases, to the finite runtime of the CD format. Of course, if I had not compared releases, I likely wouldn’t know what I’m missing out on so that perspective needs to be taken into account.

It’s a case of once-bitten, twice shy, and I prefer higher production values when live recordings are released.But just to add this would be great and know If things got rough again I had something that could pay a good chunk of my monthly expenses is nice to know. Through, a George Michael original from Patience , is a beautiful song to open the album with and it’s as if it should have always included an orchestra for this live performance trumps the original recording. I Remember You isn’t the strongest closer as it’s rawer, from a production and recording standpoint, than the rest of the songs featured on Symphonica.
