Reception

Applause

The Carnegie Hall Concert contains applause, audience noise and Jarrett's interactions with fans totalling approximately 20 minutes of extra-musical time between tracks.[4]

"As on many of Jarrett's live discs, producer Manfred Eicher allows the audience's long and thunderous period of applause to overwhelm the end of many tracks" says reviewer Will Layman at Popmatters[5] and "folks tend to be divided about whether this is indulgence (Jarrett's, the arrogant artist) or psychology (Eicher's manipulation -- you are there) or simply padding out the CD's length."

Reviewer John Kelman at All About Jazz notes that "Curious, however, is the applause between tracks—in some cases nearly three minutes long, adding up to nearly nineteen minutes in total. Exciting as it may have been to be there, the lengthy audience noise does nothing but defeat the recorded program's continuity."[6]

Thomas Conrad at JazzTimes has his word stating that "This is a valuable addition to a distinguished body of recorded work. One complaint: With its five encores, the second CD contains more than 17 minutes of applause and 59 minutes of music. This ratio will test the patience of even the most worshipful Jarrett fans in search of a vicarious solo concert experience."[7]
