The solid processed, heavy package itself consists of subjectively frightening many discs, elaborately wrapped in a kind of hyper-Leporello-gate fold. The obligatory, excellent homemade booklet is glued into this structure: That seems to be the only weak point of the set to me; let's see how long it holds. Since this set is also a DVD with it, was the front cover with the silly "nihil obstat" pardon "Rated 0" adorned -Bapperl. Fortunately can be removed without a trace almost voluntary submission with some patience this senseless emblem.
Now to the music part. These already so much has been written, that everything else seems superfluous. The principle is: The structure and order of the songs remains LC typically decades roughly the same. Can it go well?
The answer is: Yes, it can. As with the classical times now usual: On the interpretation that counts. Most of the LC good songs is indeed sufficiently known by heart. But here come once again new / other instruments into play daunter a harp (this recommendation! Necessarily look at DVD, as angelically the player has been set in the scene Eh, Leonard, old scoundrel), then a Archilaud (real name so even if the name to German an unintentional comedy is also undeniable) that builds a wall of sound is also different, as yet somewhat active in the shadow musicians can literally show what they can about the grandiose keyboardist amidst its key planks Knights castle at the veritable, weathered Hammond enthroned. Surprises on surprises.
So suddenly we got there in the DVD. Again, there is only good news to report. Especially this: It works. That was not in "Songs from the Road" on my Marantz BD players the case. The DVD reads quickly, the menu waived frills. The image quality is on an iMac 27 "and on an HD TV with upscaling own nothing to be desired. It's amazing what good production can be provided from a really old, low-resolution media to bundle.
The image-directed pleased by deliberate hand and through their kindness unobtrusive camera work and editing work. The DVD is NTSC color coded. This interferes with today's players fortunately not in the least.
Alone the soundtrack on the DVD seems to be mastered fairly quiet. Compared with the CD of the volume control must be turned up quite strongly on Amp to achieve the same volume. Perhaps it is in the configuration of my devices (HDMI digital audio on TV to the D-class amplifier), which I have designed more for HiFi as for television.
All in all, my recommendation for this album, especially in the dark winter months, in which I gave those words to screens.
