الوصف

Product Description Seasoned crooner Tony Bennett performs live for the benefit of Canadian TV.

Perhaps as fashionable in the twilight of his career as he ever was at the beginning, a whole new generation has come to appreciate his distinctive vocal stylings, which are never too mannered to prevent his inhabiting the emotional content of songs, yet are always smooth enough to delight through their sheer vocal beauty. There are few surprises here, as the concert is mostly made up of his standard repertoire--songs like "My Funny Valentine" and "I left My Heart in San Francisco" that he has never let get stale or clichéd. The backing trio who form the core of the large band that accompanies him get to show their stuff in "It Don't Mean a Thing if it Ain't Got That Swing" and he does a creditable version of the late George Harrison's "Something". On the DVD: The DVD is presented in a clear unfussy Dolby 2.0 sound which gives the brass and drums some real edge and is presented in a 4:3 video ratio; it includes a brief Tony Bennett discography. --Roz Kaveney
