Product Description
From Amazon.com
Pianist Jim Brickman invites a Salt Lake City audience to "pretend I'm over at your house for dinner and I'm playing you a few songs." This casual introduction is followed by 75 minutes of beautiful piano playing in a style that incorporates New Age, jazz, and pop influences. Brickman's solo piano pieces are romantic and impressionistic (his inspiration stemming from a contemplation of personal relationships) and his playing wonderfully emotive. Joining Brickman are singers Olivia Newton-John and Donny Osmond, and saxophonist Dave Koz--a mix that lends a nice variety to the show. Especially effective are Osmond's performance of "The Love of My Life" and Newton-John's "I Honestly Love You." Brickman also makes his vocal debut with a pleasingly mellow timbre on "The Love I Found in You" and "Star Bright."
Some critics bemoan a similarity of sound in his pieces, citing repetitious arpeggio playing over predictable chord progressions, but fans counter that that repetition defines Brickman's unique style. While this DVD and the compact disc of the same name are both based on the PBS special, it's worth noting that the song selection does vary between the two. Snuggle up by the fire with a loved one, grab a glass of wine, and spend the evening with Jim Brickman--you won't be disappointed. --Tami Horiuchi
Additional Features

Jim Brickman w/ Musical Guests,
By Chris Stroker (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Romance - An Evening With Jim Brickman (DVD)
My Romance - An Evening with Jim Brickman is a must have for anyone who enjoys easy listening and standards. Brickman, who just ended a U.S. tour opening for Olivia-Newton John finally gets his day in the sun and lets all his talent show with special musical guests popping in here and there to sing some of their old hits as well as Brickmans. (i.e. Olivia Newton-John - "I Honestly Love You", Donny Osmond, and many others.) One of the most captivating songs is "Change Of Heart", a song written by both Olivia Newton-John & Jim Brickman. If your a fan of easy listening 70's tunes - then your sure to love My Romance - An Evening with Jim Brickman.
