Great music great arangiert - there'd only there was more of it

When singer-songwriter their guitar-based music suddenly Vershen with pompous arrangements, the shot is not rare los nacxh back. A good example would be the attempt to put Amy Macdonald music orchstralisch - the record company liked the idea great, the Künsterlin itself rather less; the result was their right.
Unlike this attempt. Tina Dico is no longer a secret - the Dane fills nowadays within the shortest possible time, the medium-sized halls, the sale at their Germany tour next year running in October - and rather rapidly. Be heard they will be there again with tape - but mainly with their own guitar, their sound is ultimately but then primarily acoustic. All the more surprising to her latest project. Together with the DR UnderholdningsOrkestret she gave in 2010 and 2011 a number of concerts in Copenhagen and their songs presented in a classic-looking package - with an impressive result. The reactions of songs like "Count To Ten" or "He Does not Know are interesting, different, stunning but never bombastic There are few moments in which the presentation is threatening to slip into banality -.. But ultimately it never does"
This album is an album that you have to listen out loud. According to, in the dark, lying on the floor. Then the many layers of Dico songs unfold best. Highlights addition to these two pieces are composed for the occasion Songs "They Should See Me" and the new "True North," and the great "River Of What's Been". The real highlight of this collection comes from all over but without orchestra - "The Road", a song, I never really liked dne so, puts everything else in the shade and shows that Tina Dico ultimately with her guitar (and Helgi Jonsson) still is best. But the orchestral pieces does not detract from this in no way, especially when you look at the DVD. The one-hour film version of the concert is impressively filmed, great pictures that accompany the music experience and not dominate.

The only drawback: Neither the DVD nor the CD give the concert completely again - that's a pity, because both media had yet offered enough space and the effort that is behind such orchestral production entirely as a whole should have been held.
