From this moment on
Bought it for my mother in law and she loves every bit of it. Great music and good quality sound. Great gift. Promptly delivered

Hard to understand what happened ...
Like others, I thought that this CD was a big come-down from her earlier work, specifically, the live in Paris recordings. However, without putting too fine a point on it, my impression when listening to it a second time (of a total of two), was that my lack of enthusiasm might have been driven more by the selections, with the exception of the title song, or the instrumenation / recording (had to concentrate to hear her piano work) than from Diana, herself.

She's a great! talent, get her Live in Paris DVD to be wowed!

fine assortment of songs by Diana Krall
From This Moment On is a fine Diana Krall album that again features her marvelous singing with great musical arrangements. The quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork is very tastefully done as well.

The CD starts with Diana doing a sublime job on "It Could Happen To You;" she aces this easily and she never skips a beat! Her voice is in excellent form and she is able to successfully pull in her listeners with the heartfelt feeling she puts into this ballad. "Isn't This A Lovely Day" features Diana squarely front and center--right where she belongs! Diana's voice is clearly able to infuse this tune with great emotion and that impresses me greatly. The piano arrangement is also very elegant. I really like "Isn't This Is A Lovely Day."

"How Insensitive" is a tender love ballad about a love that goes wrong when there are too many honest misunderstandings; Diana was born to sing these ballads and again she delves right into this tune to make it her own with a few tempo and key changes. Great! I predict that you'll like "How Insensitive" if you haven't already heard it. In addition, Diana also makes good on "Exactly Like You;" this upbeat number about a love and its joys really shines brighter than silver and gold combined when Diana Krall sings it. Diana performs this to perfection and the music never drowns her out--it all THAT good.

"From This Moment On" from Kiss Me Kate proves that Diana can really belt out a tune and this melody gets strength from a faster than normal tempo. Diana Krall never sings a superfluous note and I'm sure you'll love every minute of this classic ballad. "Little Girl Blue" has a great treatment by the oboe (I think); and when Diana comes in this number takes flight even if it's not the most optimistic you'll ever hear.

"Day In Day Out" is a classic pop vocal tune that gets the royal treatment from Diana Krall and she sings and swings brightly to make this number shine! The jazzy arrangement works very well for this tune and it's easily another major highlight of this CD. I love it! "Willow Weep For Me" has another elegant piano arrangement that enhances the natural beauty of this number; and when Diana comes in the number glows even brighter--she truly makes "Willow Weep For Me" her masterpiece with her uncanny sense of timing.

The CD also ends well with Diana Krall performing a medley of "It Was A Beautiful Day In August" and "You Can Depend On Me." What a strong ending for Diana's album!

Diana Krall fans will want this for their collections. I notice that some reviewers didn't like it but I still think the majority of Diana Krall fans will go for this CD. This is also a fine CD for people who like classic pop vocals.

From This Moment On
As always, Diana Krall is seductively easy to listen to. Her piano playing is also wonderful as is her accompanying group.

She's the Best!
If you are a Diana Krall fan you must add this CD to your collection. Diana continues to hold first place in female vocalists performing today, with her understated elegance of phrasing, her piano playing, and her knowing interpretation of the music she loves. Diana belongs in the company of the greats; Ella, Sarah, Rosemary, Carmen, Billie. As always, the choice of songs in this collection is excellent!
