The first-ever live concert recording from GRAMMY®-winning vocalist/pianist Diana Krall was Recorded at the Paris Olympia Theatre last winter. Here finally, captured in amazing audio quality, is an album showcasing the magic of Krall's concert performances.
Krall and her band - perform some of the tunes from Krall's studio recordings, such as "East of the Sun (West of the Moon)" and "Devil May Care." They are joined by special guests John Pisano (acoustic guitar) and Paulinho DaCosta (percussion) for several tracks, including the Gershwins' "S'wonderful." The Orchestre Symphonique Europeen, conducted by Alan Broadbent with special guest conductor Claus Ogerman, is featured on the upbeat "Let's Fall in Love" and a haunting interpretation of "I've Got You Under My Skin."
Featured on the album are live renditions of "The Look of Love," the title track from Krall's platinum-certified Verve release, her first recorded version of the Joni Mitchell-penned "A Case of You," and "Fly Me to the Moon," a song not included on the previously-released DVD Diana Krall - Live in Paris (Eagle Eye/Pioneer Entertainment).
