Movie Reviews of Chris Botti in Boston [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Visual and Musical Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars

My wife purchased this for me as a gift after reading rave reviews about the sound quality (96 kHz/24 bit) of this Blu-Ray on an audio forum we belong to. The moment she gave me the disc and I was very excited to tear into it! I honestly couldn't wait to see what it could do to rock my system (B&W speakers connected to McIntosh components) and it was playing within 2.5 minutes of being opened. I guess I'm still a kid at heart.
From the moment it started playing I was in awe. This is like listening to a high quality LP combined with superb HD video. Chris Botti has proven that he can easily stay away from the "smooth jazz" stereotype and on this recording he delivered something for everyone to enjoy from rock to Bach. To emphasize that point, my wife generally does not enjoy jazz and will usually leave the room when I am listening to that genre. In this case, she sat down with me and watched the entire video with me, commenting how great many of the performers were. She had favorites like Sting and Steven Tyler but she actually enjoyed other like Yo-Yo Ma and Lucia Micarelli. She got a few tears from Steven Tyler's dedication of Smile to his father and was very moved. My father who is now 90 years old and has a great love of music watched the disc on a recent visit to our home and said Ave Maria was one of the best renditions of that song he had heard. I would bet anyone among your family and friends that is between 16 and 100 years old will truly enjoy this recording.
In closing my review I would like to point out that our family now usually rent instead of owning DVDs and Blu-Rays due to the uncertain future of where technology will take us and the fear of a load of obsolete media but this is one of those that you can play over and over. It is worth owning and worth every penny. After the initial viewing it makes for great background music when working around the house and is nice to put on when guests are visiting.

On a footnote I STRONGLY encourage you to watch some of the bonus material! There is a man who had a medical emergency in the audience during the performance and you will hear about it and how the Chris Botti and Sting got the audience back on track, it is delightful.
