About this item
Review
New Age sensations Yanni and John Tesh have long since integrated their spirited live shows into the PBS Pledge Drive format. It was only a matter of time before the equally popular pianist Jim Brickman made the same leap.
My Romance: An Evening With Jim Brickman (Windham Hill) is a live performance recording (also available on VHS and DVD). Unlike his New Age compatriots whose shows often resemble slickly produced circuses, however, Brickman's genius lies in simplicity and intimacy. The most popular tracks from his best-selling CDs are warm and instantly hummable solo-piano pieces. On his studio recordings as well as here, lilting yet emotional numbers like "Picture This" and "Edgewater" touch the heart with no extra production. And to further up the intimacy ante on My Romance, Brickman invites audience members to pretend he is entertaining them in their living rooms.
The whole affair turns into a casual party where popular musical friends drop by for a number or two. The first of these is fellow pianist David Benoit, who duets with Brickman on a song the two composed called "Glory." Benoit's jazzy energy inspires Brickman to go beyond the reaches of soft-hearted romance and into the realm of spirited smooth jazz. Elsewhere, violinist Tracy Silverman adds a haunting classical feel to the reflective "Lake Erie Rainfall," while Dave Koz's emotional alto powers "Partners in Crime" and "The Love I Found in You." For the hits, Brickman relies on the big guns. Olivia Newton-John sings beautifully on "Valentine" and "Change of Heart." Former teen idol Donny Osmond sounds convincing on "Love of My Life."
While My Romance doesn't include a cover of the classic "My Romance," the disc is nonetheless a beautiful primer on the wonders of romance as well as a marvelous showcase for one of instrumental music's most irresistible performers.
