Description
The Royal Albert Hall is the kind of venue where history is made. THE BEATLES and the ROLLING STONES played a double bill here, legendary performances have been given from PINK FLOYD to FRANK SINATRA, LED ZEP to BOB DYLAN. And that’s before you come to lectures from the likes of Stephen Hawking and the Dalai Lama. Now think of a band who live to perform live. Beyond Jason Swinscoe’s scintillating recordings the CINEMATIC ORCHESTRA’s ability to reinvent their material in the live arena has always made them stand out from their peers.
Last year saw the release of latest album ‘Ma Fleur’ and the band’s most intense touring schedule to date. The band had always wanted a chance to develop into the Orchestra of their name, but they needed the kind of venue with the flexibility, the acoustics and the sheer scale to make it work.In the end there was only one place…
On November 2nd 2007, Jason Swinscoe brought an enhanced line-up of the Cinematic Orchestra, incorporating the 24 piece Heritage Orchestra to this amazing venue and played a show to a sold-out crowd of more than 4000 people. With over 40 musicians onstage at times, Swinscoe and his colleagues used the show as a unique opportunity to open out his chamber
pieces into intense, beautiful and exquisitely realised epics which left the huge audience baying for more.
Features tracks from all their albums, including “To Build A Home”.
