Artful presentation with a strong penchant for sentimentality

George Michael, one of the most gifted vocalists and songwriters worldwide, white remains to be enchanted favorable audience and to inspire. With a music which in my opinion deserves the predicate "timeless".

"Symphonica" contains not really something new, but also captivates primarily through a fine selection of your own music. These were supplemented by some cover versions, I want to emphasize at this point Elton John's "Idol" and Sting's "Roxanne". Who had the opportunity to experience one of the concerts during his Symphonica Tour, already knows what is on offer here: soothing sounds, produced by a strongly present in the foreground voice George Michaels and a perfectly harmonized orchestration. Although that sounds like little, the images are not only complex, but equally demanding.

The audio quality is homogeneous and leaves no wish unfulfilled. The photographs of the deluxe edition are really well done and call memories of the once admirable stage shows. We can only hope that the concert will be released as a DVD.

Definitely worth listening to!
