Editorial Review: Album Description: Import edition of 2001 live release includes one track that's unavailable on the US pressing, 'Mad About You'. In a moonlit courtyard in Tuscany, on the evening of September 11th, 2001, Sting hosted a musical evening for 200 fans & friends. With his long-time band & several guest musicians, Sting performed songs from his triple-platinum album, Brand New Day as well as some his many of his celebrated hits. In his inimitable style, Sting reinvented these songs through constructed, intimate arrangements. Other tracks include, 'Fragile' & 'A Thousand Years'. Amazon.com: Give Sting credit for craftily averting the downside of worldwide pop stardom: finding yourself at 50 playing decades-old hits at some dusty state fair. The trick, of course, is to have your artistic cake and eat it, too; and that's just what the singer has done--reinvented himself first as a coolly crooning jazz head, then infused that sensibility with some spiritually vague Euro-trance affectations. Sting's Brand New Day touring band languorously reworks 15 songs before a couple hundred handpicked fans during a moonlit Tuscan evening--it's a live shot that feels funkier and less self-conscious than its '80s predecessor, Bring on the Night. While familiar solo-career nuggets like "Set Them Free," "Fields of Gold," and "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You" have insightful new shadings, it's the sparingly doled Police hits that seem rebuilt from the ground up; "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and "Roxanne" are now hued with sad cellos and weary vocals hinting that even sexual tension eventually leads to fatigue. Tasteful, spare, and nearly performance-perfect, ...All This Time is still a far cry from the jazz of Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme, and if you hear a quiet, English-accented chuckle behind you in line at the bank, don't turn around. --Jerry McCulley Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Sting's Style is Timeless, Extraordinary, Always a JoyI really owe Sting a whole lot of five star plus reviews. THIS is one outstanding CD of 15 songs, each one enirely unique, each one memorable in its own way. Sting's style - has an array of influences, and my favorite are the Middle Eastern notes & style. Favorite Songs from this CD that always bring me joy are: Fragile A Thousand Years All This Time If You Love Somebody Set Them Free Brand New Day Fields of Gold If I Ever Lose My Faith in You His music is extraordinary in person, live as well in 1978/9 at "Speaks" in Long Island, NY - very down to earth, and super talented. Then in either 1980 or 81, a huge concert in London was spellbinding. Read More: Rating: - WoWSting is one talented Englishman!! This cd is awesome, it was recorded live in Italy on Sept 11, 2001. this is a must have in any music lovers collection. Rating: - Discovered After, Well... All This TimeI note that one of my fellow "citizen reviewers" below felt that this "live" CD--consisting as it does of live takes of previously recorded songs--was a bit on the superfluous side and would likely appeal only to the "casual fan." Funny thing though, several others have posted (ironically for similar reasons) that it should only be of interest to Sting COMPLETISTS, the folks who feel compelled to literally possess every recording the Stingle has ever made. So who's right? Neither? Both? Well, that likely all depends on the beholder--or the "be-hearer." , but I can say that *I* like it a lot. But if anyone could be classified as definitive casual fan when it comes to Sting, I guess that'd be me. After a somewhat rocky start ...

Rating: - Love it but...Why is Seven Days not on this CD. It was my favorite part of the DVD and then I find out its only on the Import CD. Still a great CD though. |
