Evocative Voice,

This review is from: Dreamland (Audio CD)
I bought this CD based on the reviews here and was not disappointed. She has a voice reminiscent of Billie Holiday, but she doesn't sound like she's trying to copy her.Great Jazz/Blues sound that is different from many of today's artists. It's amazing that someone so young has such an interesting voice

This review is from: Dreamland (Audio CD)
Listening to this album it is hard to believe this isn't one of the great black female Jazz artists from the 30's or 40's. Madeleine Peyroux has a voice very reminiscent of Billie Holliday yet uniquely her own. She delivers her songs with a style and maturity way beyond her years; she was a mere 22 years old when she recorded this. As well as covering some well-known numbers Ms Peyroux performs some of her own songs proving she is as talented a songwriter as she is a singer. There isn't a track on this album that isn't flawlessly performed but particularly outstanding are 'La Vie En Rose' and 'A Prayer'.This is an album that you want to listen to with the lights low and curled up in a comfy chair.... bliss.

HDCD sounds great on regular CD/DVD players,
By Lapin Bleu "Lapin Bleu" (LeBureau, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dreamland (Audio CD)
Dreamland is recorded in HDCD format. It can nonetheless be played with any, standard, CD/DVD player, however it sounds better on a machine that can interpret HDCD code. HDCD recordings do, however, sound better than regular recordings even when played on standard machines. And DREAMLAND SOUNDS GREAT. It is one of my three or so reference CD/audio DVDs. The bass is very good: clear and deep. The piano solos will give you goose bumps on your goose bumps. Her voice is smooth, never harsh or piercing. If you have a good system with good speakers, you will keep going back to this recording to judge the quality of other CDs.I have grown to like all the songs on this album.
