Description
Joanna Newsom performs her astonishing symphonic album Ys, accompanied by the Sydney Symphony in the grandeur of the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall, following sell-out shows in London's Royal Albert Hall and Los Angeles' Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Weaving nuanced, gothic tales and her ethereal, melodic harp over expansive orchestrations arranged by Van Dyke Parks, Newsom's second album Ys is hailed as a stunning achievement worldwide. Epic in its scope, even more musically rich and lyrically complex than her debut The Milk-Eyed Mender, Newsom proved with Ys that she is a conceptual musical talent with no peer, happiest in uncharted territory.
Van Dyke Parks' opulent orchestral arrangements lend a dark romanticism to Newsom's ambitious and sweeping song suites. Be beguiled as Newsom's melodies ebb and flow according to their own mysterious currents and her lyrics draw you deep into their moving and oddly familiar world.
