This blog entry will primarily be focused on reviewing the SFTSS CD with some references to the MOTM DVD – pointing out the subtle differences that I have picked up between the two media as well as my overall opinion of each piece. After seeing Jackie perform live, I can say that her voice doesn’t require editing or refining, but nonetheless the process does help to improve the audio quality of the recording itself. the CD being a studio recording that has all the advantages of mixing, editing, and refining. The comparison may be a bit unfair in that the MOTM DVD was recorded live vs. First of all, let me say that the MOTM DVD is wonderful, but I must say that the SFTSS CD is much better and takes the quality level up even higher than the DVD. When the release of the CD finally arrived, I was surprised at the various differences that I would experience. I thought that I had settled in on my impressions of the MOTM DVD and was expecting about the same experience with the release of The Songs From The Silver Screen (SFTSS) CD. She warms the hearts of her audience as they exuberantly respond to her charming demeanor and mastery of the music that she sings – a common occurrence at any Jackie Evancho concert. Watching Jackie perform gives you a sense of how amazing someone so small and petite can sing with such grace and fullness to her voice.
Her incredible vocal skills, stage presence, confidence, and love of performing are very apparent in the MOTM DVD. But now, Jackie is another year older and another year advanced in singing artistry. She was already blowing away people (like me) with her vocal skills when she recorded her first full-length album titled Dream With Me. When watching Jackie perform, it is apparent how much more advanced Jackie has become in her singing style and her stage presence. First of all, let me say that MOTM is a splendid DVD. However, there are differences in these two similar, yet distinctively unique recordings. Although the DVD and CD have different titles, the musical selections are the same. I received my copy of the DVD in mid-September through a pledge to PBS. This performance is also made available to watch on DVD.
Prior to the CD release date, many fans, including myself have had a chance to hear the songs performed on this CD by listening to Jackie Evancho sing them on her second PBS Great Performances special titled Music Of The Movies (MOTM). On October 2nd, 2012, the CD was officially released. Jackie Evancho fans have long been anticipating the release of Jackie’s next CD titled Songs From The Silver Screen (SFTSS).
