I’m very excited for this to come out. I’m a 26 year old police office who just loves Neil. I play his music even with inmates in the backseat and they even like it. Neil reaches across all age groups. Love ya Neil. Would love to meet this man
I cant wait to hear the others!! I do wish he added some more deeper tracks also though. like Lady Oh or say maybe. but I can REALLY use this album right about now. and Neils voice sounds AMAZING.
Neil’s music has always been so beautifully produced and arranged to begin with, add the LSO and this album finds a way to make the songs come alive again, I would not say they are better then the originals but they are a wonderful to live them all over again. Great addition to my music collection
I'm always a tad wary whenever an artist releases an album of new versions of older material: plenty of albums like this have been released over the years, attempts at either recontextualizing old hits to meet a newer market, to simply play around with what the listener already knows and loves about a set of classic songs, or to just try and justify the release of yet another Greatest Hits album. I suppose you could consider this sort of thing brave at times, but more often than not these things fall flat on their faces, and will always have to overcome the listeners' established biases favoring cherished older material. Forgetting for a moment whether this sort of thing works or not, the orchestrations on this album are top notch, and Diamond's voice, at almost 80 years old, sounds as fresh and velvety as it ever did (something I can't even say about Johnny Cash's voice during his American Recordings era). By all of the more objective criteria, this album is phenomenal, and if you're a new listener with no prior knowledge of these songs, somehow, then this is a top-shelf production. So, the real question becomes, "How well will these songs go over for fans who've heard the original versions a million times over, especially when the sheer number of Greatest Hits albums and boxed sets, many of them perceived as uneeded, has become something of an in-joke amongst fans?" For the most part, I'd suggest the answer is, "surprisigly well." None of these will ever replace the originals, mind you. But when he sticks to what made the original songs work in the first place, orchestration like this only serves to make the song deeper than what it already was. The songs that were already made for lush orchestration in the past are definitely the songs which work best here: "Hello Again," "I've Been This Way Before," and "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" work well. Perhaps the most surprising is how well this version of "September Morn," one of Diamond's more middle-of-the-road love ballads, from one of his most middle-of-the-road albums released during his most middle-of-the-road era of music, works incredibly well here. However, songs like "Play Me" and "I Am...I Said" take an orchestral approach which renders them barely recognizable, with significant alterations to even the basic melodies. It's certainly not a BAD album in any way shape or form, just one that will likely be a bit divisive depending on what you're looking for from this sort of project. It reminds me a good bit of John Denver's Earth Songs, where a handful of rerecordings were excellent, one or two might've been preferred to the original, and the rest leaving you just wondering, "Why?!" If all you want is some deep, orchestrated music that wouldn't feel out of place in the background, or as mood music, as you drive home for the holidays, then this is your ticket. If you're looking for something revolutionary, or something more than a barely-disguised Greatest Hits album, not so much. It might have worked decidedly better on all fronts if Diamond had chosen a less-obvious set of songs for this.
Neils voice gets better and better with age! What a beautiful gift he has!!!
Just listened to the whole album, so good, so good, so good. Old songs with a new twist. Holly Holy, I’ve been this way before, and Play Me are stand outs.
Another greatest hits album some of the songs were good but most songs are not as good as the original how do you suggest you try before you bye Pandora is a great site
I really didn’t expect to love this album as much as I do. My first reaction was..oh no another compilation. This is SO MUCH MORE! Neil’s voice is still strong and the nuances he brings to this outing make this very familiar material feel new. Holly Holy definitely a stand out! Rock on, Mr. D and stay well💎💎❤️
I have really enjoyed this album and have been listening to it over and over again for several days. The beautiful new arrangement and rendition of “I Am ... I Said” is one of my favorites. Neil Diamond’s superb voice and musical creative skills continue to peak, age doing nothing but making his already unmatched skills even finer. This album was a welcome gift during a pandemic year with so much pain. It is a calming and spirit filling musical work.
After hearing Heartlight, I couldn’t wait for the release of the rest of the album. Beautiful renditions of all my favorite Neil Diamond tunes. I am a lifelong fan of Neil... my 6 yr old grandson is also a fan. He requests his music when he needs confidence before swim lessons and falls asleep listening to his “Meal” Diamond favorites. 😀
I love listening to Neil, his music brings back so many memories of my dad who always had him playing. Neil’s music is uplifting and positive. His music will always be special to me. #missingyouinheavendad❤️
I was skeptical. Symphonic arrangements of Neil’s most famous songs? I hated his “Movie Album” in the 90’s and feared this would be a return to that. Good news: It’s not. It’s super fun hearing these gems reinvented with brand new orchestral arrangements, and Diamond’s voice in full form. And while I LOVE new, original Neil Diamond albums, I’m kind of hoping there’s another few volumes of this. Not many artists would dare change one hair on the head of their biggest hits, but with this album Neil Diamond is bold enough to mix things up and bring different colors to his work..and it’s the perfect gift for a troubled year.
Amazing Strings. Another gold record on Neils wall.
I have all of Neil Diamonds albums. Aways seen him in concert when he comes to Philadelphila. PA. Glad he decided to put more music out.
An outstanding recording of Mr. Neil Diamond, backed by one of the worlds greatest orchestras. He isn't saying "I am" to no one any longer ladies and gentlemen.

Love Neil Diamond and London Philharmonic Orchestra so together in this album is a win win for me.
Disappointed in the CD The orchestra is brilliant however they should have matched Neils voice with an older version of his voice They did this with the likes of Elvis and Roy Orbison
Fabulous CD. Live studio album with Neil bringing terrific new interpretations to a number of his wonderful songs.

I’ve enjoyed the music of ND since the ‘70s and seen him on concert several times. Normally I don’t like rearranged songs but this album is an exception. I don’t think there is a bad track. Put on your headphones, shut your eyes and be emotionally moved. A perfect album, thank you ND and LSO
Still in good voice at 80 years old. Generally, the arrangements work well but I would have liked to have seen "bonus tracks" encompassing the orchestrated score with the original vocal performances. Hats off to him for being brave and not playing it safe.
These are newly sung and orchestrated. You did a great job Mr Diamond. Bravo the LSO.
Great album with great classic songs that sound fantastic with the royal philharmonic orchestra his voice is still amazing can’t wait to hear the rest of album
Neil Diamond proves he is worth his legendary place in popular music and in any music hall of fame. Pity it's not new material from the great man, nevertheless it will be interesting to hear new versions of the old masters. Listening to his new rendition of Heartlight proves the man still has the voice and his health hasn't impacted upon it. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the album. Keep going!
I absolutely love this album; great to hear the rearranged vocals from one of the great singer songwriters. “America” and “Play Me” are my favourite arrangements.
i am a huge diamond fan. this collection of 14 of his popular hits will only appeal to his audience . but those that give this cd a miss are making a mistake . diamond has given each track a new vocal and the l.s.o do a fantastic job. there are one or two tracks that at first hearing dont work. i am i said being the big disapointment but give it a few listens and you may change your mind . i did. america is a gem and holly holy is worth the entrance fee alone. all in all i will be enjoying this cd for years to come and look forward to volume 2
Really looked forward to this and feel Disappointed. I said I am is just ruined
This legendary performer has still got it in abundance! Listening to Heartlight you can tell his voice is still as good as ever. Pity these are all old songs but will still be wonderful to hear the full album when it’s released.
