Album Notes & Community Reviews
Her debut for the prestigious classical label Deutsche Grammophon, 'Night of Hunters' is an ambitious concept album structured as a 21st-century song cycle. The album's compositions are variations on themes by classical composers like Bach, Chopin, and Satie, woven into a narrative about a relationship's demise. It's a purely acoustic work, featuring Amos's piano accompanied by a variety of classical instruments, resulting in a complex and beautiful modern classical statement.
