All the tracks on this disc have something in common - they are either male or female soloists with simple accompaniments. The recording is very clean, and the sound very natural. The music itself is inoffensive, takes no risks, pleasant to listen to, and generally well sung. But then, so is elevator music.
In other words, it is a typical Chesky disc. I have yet to come across a Chesky disc that I would like to listen to more than once, thanks to the sheer poverty of music on the discs, and this one is no exception. After one listen, the music has given up its rewards and there is nothing left to gain from a second listen.
Every time I go to a hifi show, or a hifi gathering, someone will pull out this disc and play it. After a while, it just grates.
Well recorded elevator music is still elevator music. So yes, go ahead and buy it because it will flatter any hifi system. You can go on about the imaging, the sweetness of the voices, the decay of the piano notes, the blackness of the background - but then you have marked yourself out as an audiophile and not a true music lover.
