Apart from "Dark Intervals" from a different phase of his work, in which likewise only shorter pieces are gathered - but at that time were a common motif assigned - plays Jarrett since overcoming his illness in solo concerts at the piano not excessive numbers more than ever up to "La Scala" the mid-1990s, but shorter titles with correspondingly lower thematic breadth. Four publications of solo live concerts it gave them so far to "Rio" from 2011. The "Carnegie Hall Concert" is the second double-CD of this series. More than nine minutes, none of the pieces - applause adjusted. The emphasize is important because in the last five pieces of the second CD of the applause is so long and in addition not only mixed a bit quieter that this is an imposition on the patience of the buyer. Authenticity need not be emphasized by artificial that you accurately documented every Plärrer from the audience, each and every reaction Zusatzgeklatsche Jarrett it. That may be a nice memory for the case has been, for all others it's just annoying to have to endure several minutes of hooting and applauding until the next play begins. Especially with the very successful last pieces of the recording - the French under a title already known from Munich's live recording "Paint My Heart Red", the classic "My Song" or the standard "Time On My Hands" - is the listening experience through affects the exaggerated long applause noticeably. ECM would have to deal with as careful with this precious music. Because is basically "The Carnegie Hall Concert" a great shot and probably the best of the younger solo live releases Jarrett with the shorter pieces. It alternates between wild-experimental, very impulsive numbers without right line are partially (about Part I, like most common at the start of Jarrett solo concert recent, Part IV or Part VI), melancholically dreamy pieces (such as Part III, Part V, Part VIII, Part X or "The Good America" titled piece) and Blue Note embossed titles like Part VII, which is reminiscent of "Let It Be" by the Beatles, Part IX, or "True Blues' penultimate piece. Five stars would be there, the Applause audacity will cost a star.
