Icelandic musician Björk has announced the upcoming release of a live album titled ‘Björk Orkestral with the Hamrahlíð Choir’. The recording documents a performance held at the Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik on October 24, 2021. The project features orchestral and choral arrangements of Björk’s repertoire, including material from albums such as Medúlla, Vespertine, Homogenic, Biophilia, and Volta. The performance involved the Hamrahlíð Choir, directed by Þorgerður Ingólfsdóttir, and over one hundred musicians. The original concert series was intended to raise funds for Kvennaathvarfið, a women’s shelter in Reykjavik. The album is scheduled for release on November 27 via One Little Independent Records and will be available in various formats, including LP, CD, Blu-ray, and DVD. Recent details indicate the project focuses on the musical architecture of the songs through orchestral arrangements rather than large-scale visual displays. Björk noted that the pandemic provided necessary time for extensive rehearsals to refine the balance between natural choral sounds and technology. The musical arrangements blend vocal performances with electronic sounds and organ, with contributions from Þorgerður Ingólfsdóttir and Bergur Þórisson. The recording captures a period of musical return following pandemic-related restrictions.
