Live With The Danish National Chamber Orchestra

Live With The Danish National Chamber Orchestra

After churning out six studio albums, singer/songwriter Tina Dico delivers an over-the-top live album of performances with The Danish National Chamber Orchestra. “True North” opens with Dico’s androgynous voice standing strong over a majestic-sounding ensemble grandiose enough for an episode of Game of Thrones. The following “Sacre Coeur” sounds similarly dramatic. Where the song's original version (on her 2007 album Count to Ten) plays with folk-rock trimmings, here it sounds somewhat similar to “The Storm That Brought You to Me,” which she cowrote and performed for the 2010 remake of Clash of the Titans. She incorporates her love for folk music in the wistful “In Love & War,” where the string section plays more sublime elements next to fluttering flute parts and a brass section. At just less than two minutes, the instrumental “Moment of Bliss” sounds like the orchestra is exhaling in slow motion before sitting out the closing number, a seven-and-a-half minute rendition of “The Road” where guitar, piano, and vocal harmonies are Dico’s only accompaniment.
