Symphonica

This album is been a long time coming but well worth the wait! The sound quality is amazing ! If you close your eyes it takes you back to those special nights that were SYMPHONICA live 2011/2012 - All the tracks have been lovingly chosen by George and he makes each track sound so special and personal something only he can do - His voice sounds so crisp - clear and pure making this album a must for everyone not just his loyal fans !!! FANTASTIC congratulations George its amazing

A really mature George here, outstanding orchestration. I have never heard anyone sing 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' better than original Roberta Flack until now. This version is my favourite track. I was a bit dubious at first when I read it was live but there is not that much applause so did not detract. Highly recommended.

George Michael at his best. He seemed to loose his way the last couple of years with some of the songs he published but this is a spot on CD - love it!!! A few of his old hits, a couple of new songs and a few songs written by others - what more could you want???

Having been to Symphonica in London, this album serves as a reminder of George's superb voice and takes me back to the evening when we saw the show. Symphonica captures the event for those who were unable to get tickets and showcases his exquisite voice which is indeed better live, as others have commented! I recommend this beautiful album to all who love true artistry. Brilliant!

Beautiful performance. Sounds amazing on good stereo equipment. Ideal in the car. Everything a George Michael fan could wish for.

Symphonica showcases George Michael at his absolute best! His gorgeous soulful voice, the meaningful and wonderfully written songs, and his beautiful cover versions, will give any listener a real treat for the ears.
Especially good are "Let Her Down Easy" and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" where his voice is magnificent, and make the hairs stand up on my neck!

Just lovely, well done Michael, have listened over and over again.
Recommended to everyone and they all agree it's brilliant

I'm sure I read somewhere that "I Remember You" was to be an extra bonus track on the deluxe and blu ray editions but It's not on my deluxe version, but rant over. It's Perfect! From the haunting quality of "Let Her Down Easy" to the fabulous "Feeling Good" and the absolute beautiful version of "Cowboys and Angels" I Thank You George!

I normally avoid 'live' albums, but this is superb! Applause etc only at the beginning & end of the tracks. Production quality is excellent & George's voice gives me goosebumps!

I watched a documentary a few years ago about George Michael and before watching this had always thought he was a pretty boy from Wham and didn't take him seriously as an artist. The documentary made me realise that he was a talented artist, singer song writer with a distinctive powerful voice.

The album is outstanding I didn't think anyone could top Roberta Flack at The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face…..George's version is breathtaking. Another corner is another excellent song George sings with such emotion all the songs are heartfelt. What a voice he gets better and better. Wonderful album...
