AN ACOUSTIC EVENING AT THE VIENNA OPERA HOUSE is the live album by the American blues rock musician Joe Bonamassa. The album was recorded at the Vienna Opera House on 3rd July 2012 and released on 2CD and 2DVD on 12th March 2013 by Mascot Music Group in Europe, and later on 19th March 2013 by J&R Adventures in US. Over in Europe Joe Bonamassa's star shines so bright he can headline Vienna Music Hall, a gorgeous opera house traditionally housing the Vienna Philharmonic. It's a large venue and one that conveys class, so Bonamassa has indeed gone the classy route here, choosing to dedicate his concert to an event then documented on the 2013 live DVD/CD set AN ACOUSTIC EVENING AT THE VIENNA OPERA HOUSE. Bonamassa didn't take this task lightly. He's supported by four musicians, all playing a variety of old-timey acoustic instruments. He surrounded himself with ten acoustic guitars, and plays a marathon set list of twenty one songs. All this space does indeed give Bonamassa ample space to demonstrate he's skilled at being more than just a jacked-up electric blues guitarist. He sounds comfortable in this setting, perhaps even a little liberated, turning his songs into country-blues and back-porch stomps. There are enough new colors and textures to turn the ear of skeptics who may get a little weary of Bonamassa's never-ending string of releases, but the concert itself is also in danger of being too much of a good thing, lasting almost two hours. In its 2DVD incarnation also have additional hour-long making-of documentarie. The 2CD is shorter and contains judiciously selected highlights so the casual fans can turn there, but really, anybody who is a serious Bonamassa head will not be disappointed with this acoustic concert, which offers more different and interesting sounds than any other previous Bonamassa album.
PERSONNEL: Joe Bonamassa - guitars; Gerry O’Connor - Irish fiddle, mandolin, Irish banjo; Mats Wester - Nyckelharpa, Swedish keyed-fiddle; Arlan Schierbaum - accordion, celeste, toy piano, keyboards; Lenny Castro - percussion.
As hundreds of fans fill the seats of the prestigious Vienna Opera House in eager anticipation for the giant of blues rock to appear, the stage and atmosphere are set for a performance that will ultimately elevate Joe Bonamassa to deity-like status armed with an arsenal of acoustic guitars. AN ACOUSTIC EVENING AT THE VIENNA OPERA HOUSE album is truly unique as it strips away the heavy electric covering, allowing a more bare and detailed review of Bonamassa’s favoured songs. There were several key notions behind this record when it was conceived. Initially it was thought that Bonamassa would play a solo set and give a brief intro to each song, making it incredibly personal and intimate to the audience. However, a motley band of five was eventually opted for and it was equipped with a variety of uncommon and peculiar instruments ranging from a celeste to a nyckelharpa, a good decision. The other idea was for this to be a positively memorable event. It was after all taking place in the Vienna Opera House, once host to the likes of Mozart and Beethoven. The record reflects this with a collection of twenty one classic tracks including a two-minute prelude to build up that dramatic intensity. While Joe Bonamassa will always be held in the highest of regards for his astute blues guitar prowess and the big sound that goes with it, this inspired and rather worldly acoustic renovation has the integrity to be on par with some of his greatest live performances. Just listen, watch and enjoy.
