Album Notes & Community Reviews

The only live album released during his lifetime, 'Symphonica' documents his 2011–12 tour of the same name. The record features lush, orchestral reinterpretations of songs from his own catalog alongside a selection of his favorite cover songs. Produced once again by Phil Ramone, it was the final album released before Michael's death, serving as a grand and elegant showcase for his incredible vocal power.
