Amazon.co.uk Review

It's been said that Diana Krall is a more successful recording artist than she is a live performer, yet Live in Paris seems to have captured the best of both worlds. Krall has evolved into a performer of extraordinary intensity. She treats what is essentially a set of jazz vocal standards as a kind of musical performance poetry which reflects the subtlest nuance of every lyric; while her dark, seemingly effortless contralto is a near-perfect jazz instrument. This performance features Krall's regular band plus a vast orchestra that tends to detract (and subtract) from her under-rated piano playing, but there are still any number of highlights, such as "All or Nothing at All" and "'S Wonderful".

On the DVD: the additional features on this 16:9 DVD (which has stereo, DTS and Dolby surround audio options and which is PS2 compatible) are mostly excellent. The rehearsal footage is almost better than the concert, and some of Krall's interpretations bring knowing smiles to the faces of some of the female members of the orchestra. Of the two rather MTV-friendly video features, the first (for "The Look of Love") is superb; while the second (for "Let's Face the Music and Dance"), all aggressive lighting and nasty makeup, has Krall clumping around like a big-boned drag queen, but it's really the only fault in an otherwise perfect release. --Roger Thomas

Format:DVD
I recently purchased this DVD of Diana Krall,expecting it to be good and despite already having most of the tracks featured on this DVD on her CD'S. I sat down on the evening it arrived and pressed the "GO" button. From that moment on and for the next two hours, if a hurricane had ripped through my living room, I swear that I would not have noticed - everything around me (including the kids) just melted away into the background. The 5.1 sound reproduction on this DVD is the best I've heard yet, with an unbelievable clarity, particularly on vocals and Bass player. The depth and breadth of sound is fantastically balanced. The tracks are live, so Ms. Krall spices them up a little which distinguishes them from the CD recordings but without spoiling her original recording style and there are longer periods of Jazz instrumental sections. As for the visuals; the camera shots and angles make this DVD fantastic to watch too,always managing to keep your attention, with close ups of Ms. Krall and shots panning all of the musicians, including the violinists in the orchestra. Ms. Krall makes brief introductions too which means that the 2 hours viewing is maximised with musical content instead of too much "blah blah". The colours are rich, with the stage background (drapes) changing from red to blue. I could describe this DVD for hours. I am entranced every time I play it. Just buy it !

Excellent! 4 May 2004
Format:DVD
Everything from the camera shots to the surround sound is brilliantly done. The passion of the musicians, especially during solos is fantastic. I was a bit disappointed with some of the track selection however, theres no fly me to the moon, charmed life etc
Must have!!

Fabulous.... 19 Oct 2003
Format:DVD
If you’re a jazz fan then this DVD is an absolute must. The musicianship and orchestration are first class as is the production on this disc. Diana Krall’s interpretations of these classic songs are in my view often better than the original renditions. It’s wonderful to see musicians so obviously enjoying themselves – the whole experience, particularly if you have the benefit of surround sound, is totally captivating and leaves you feeling on a high!

Definitely a 10 Star rating.
