Annie Lennox - Live in Central Park description This 1995 outdoor concert captures Annie Lennox at the climax of her emergence as a solo performer, drawing from both her stunning, largely self-written 1992 debut album, Diva, and its immaculately crafted sequel, Medusa, devoted to gourmet cover performances. With Lennox in powerful voice, a solid live band attuned to the material's mix of pop, rock, and R&B accents, and an enraptured audience, Live in Central Park thus charms from opening downbeat to final coda, retaining Lennox's usual bracing mix of intelligence and drama. With her close-cropped, dark hair and bold tartan outfit, the erstwhile Eurythmic dials down the sharper edges and chillier mood of that band's most stylized work to focus on the haunted passions that bridge the Scot's solo and group efforts; her choice of songs from her old band's repertoire locks snugly into the spectrum of romantic obsession, heartbreak, and resignation that shape solo signatures like "Walking on Broken Glass," "No More 'I Love You's'," and "Little Bird." The concert footage is solidly shot and recorded, while the audio recording is crisp if not optimally mixed for 5.1 surround coverage, a fate neither surprising nor uncommon for a pre-DVD era production. Four promotional clips, produced for the Medusa project, largely offset such flaws, especially in light of her scant output since. --Sam Sutherland |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | One of the best concerts I've seen |
| No one can accuse Annie Lennox of not feeling the music she is singing. There is a raw intensity when she sings and this attribute really comes shining through in this enthralling live performance. She proves that you don't need billion dollar sets and video trickery to put on a great show. What you need is talent and sincerity.
Annie's voice is in top form and the set a good cross section of her career (including her Eurythmics days). I have seen several performances she has done of You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart but this I feel is her best (I'm sure someone will right to challenge that statement). I didn't mind the snippets of rehearsal footage and it didn't feel like it was interfering with "the show". The addition of the promotional videos at the end is really just the cherry on the cake. |
