What Manfred Eicher has prompted so much to capture the live atmosphere to the CDs, just know he and his engineer.
It bothers me at concerts and over again, especially to me, when people having to bring even far above the 30, my Beigeisterung through their pipes, etc Jolen expressed.
However, it is now so when the seemingly simple clapping regards as probably uncool.
How could the CDs critic behave when they would have been when recording at Carnegie Hall? Had they gotten or would have complained bitterly after the organizer?
Let's leave the church in the village. It is a live recording of Keith Jarrett, in which he once again shows how he understands music. What he means to express them
And, the audience is enthusiastic.
I listen to these CDs on not often. But when I hear them I always think if I were sitting in the hall. Then annoyed by the pieces about the commotion and I am glad he plays again, the crowd is silent and like me, listen to him curious.
What can be heard, can be easily looked up.
A comparison with earlier or later recordings is not easy, and perhaps not make sense especially with Keith Jarrett.
Connoisseurs of Keith Jarrett reach into the closet and listen to as a comparison the Cologne Konzett, La Scala, etc.
What should a newcomer?
How do you explain them Keith style, his way of playing music?
He played, plays always what he felt at that time, feels.
Of course, he can be seen in his playing style. But unpredictable. He had become clear again at Carnegie Hall. Especially in the encores. As he emerged from his world and was the audience.
In Part I to X Keith is in his world and shows his skills to put these into music.
Additions to show his skills to play music.
For those who want to have their CDs without an audience, I recommend free Musikbearberitungsprogramme with which they can cut these passages.
For newcomers with Keith Jarrett as a jazz musician, I can only say: An interesting recording. But he can do more, much, much more! Just listen to the music, experiencing the live atmosphere or ignored the audience.
I will not take for consumption, but as it is offered, it is an inexpensive entry to the solo music of Jarrett or a good complement to the existing inventory.
My recommendation with 4 stars.
The one star is at the expense of Manfred Eicher.
Sorry Manfred, you've done so many great CDs and LPs.
