    Even the high-rez streaming version of this album on Qobuz sounds pretty daggum good! You can tell that you are in a large venue and I can almost "see her" up on stage, with the orchestra in the pits.

    Hats off to the recording engineers. They gave the mastering engineers something great to work with.

    Might need to get me the Mo-fi of this one. Is it OOP? (I am listening to it now)

    Just finished listening to this album in its entirety. I had no freakin' clue who this chick was when I listened to the overture but when I got to "Levitating"? It dawned on me that I may not have known who she was, but I have actually listened to her before.

    All in all, I wasn't too enamored with the first couple of selections but then, I guess she grew on me. The performance, with all of those instruments was refreshing.

    Toward the end, I was thinking that maybe some of her songs were covers....and then the original singer of that song actually joined her up on stage. Elton John. I was thinking that to play at the Royal Albert Hall...and have Elton John join her up on stage? That was impressive (to me), considering I was completely unfamiliar with her. I mean, I had heard her name mentioned here and there but I had no clue who she actually was or what she did.

    Now I know...and what a wonderful performance/introduction to this young lady....who is also quite the looker, if I do say so myself. Thanks, Larry.

    Did you order it from the artist webstore, or were you able to find it in a local shop? I really would prefer to bypass the shipping and support a local shop, but they all seem to say 1/17 release date.

    Really great album. I cannot wait to get this one on vinyl!

    I am interested. The album itself is beautiful.
