Ane Brun releases orchestral live album
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 14 August 2018
Ane Brun has released a new live album featuring various songs from her catalogue performed with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. ‘Live At Berwaldhallen’ was recorded during three performances at the Stockholm concert hall in March last year.
“I love reshaping, rearranging, expanding, exploring and revitalising my songs together with other musicians and arrangers”, says Brun. “But this was a very luxurious and advanced way of doing just that!”
She continues: “I’ve done orchestral versions of my music on stage before, and it’s always been a very special experience. But this show felt different, because we had a lot of new material to pick from, including songs with a stronger dynamic than my earlier albums”.
“So we could put together a setlist with a lot of energy”, she adds, “and exploit this huge orchestra’s full potential. In 2010 and 2011, I was a part of Peter Gabriel’s New Blood Orchestra project and album, when his music was transformed. I remember thinking then that I wanted to record a full album of my own music with an orchestra one day. And now here we are!”
The album is available digitally now, with physical versions set to arrive on 5 Oct. Check it out here.
