they started playing and I felt
instantly safer and overwhelmed actually
by the beauty of the sound I've never
seen anything like that in my life
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
even though there's a hundred of them
they also are like one giant union it
kind of made me feel really safe in a
way to know that there's just this
incredible bed of lusciousness to fall
back on
[Music]
I've had to really explore the colors of
the orchestra to enhance and to you know
to respect Lianne songs a lot of artists
they don't want to come out of that
comfort zone they don't want to
relinquish what they're used to doing
live
[Music]
you can't tell someone that they can't
do whatever they want to do artistically
because it's it defeats the purpose I
rarely have strings on my recordings as
well and horns and stuff I rarely add
those other bits so it's for me it's
really like an indulgence the
orchestra's never attempted this before
and LeAnn's never attempted it so it's a
one-off you know we might never do this
again so for everybody in the room we're
all sharing that kind of knife-edge
excitement and anticipation that comes
with live orchestral music which is for
me is that the most inspiring thing it
always has been I don't respond well to
kind of writing a song on demand I can't
really do that I think it's it's
counterintuitive because it's like a
response to a particular feeling so it's
like you can't just turn now on whatever
you want you know I think probably for a
lot of people in the audience there will
be a large percentage that might have
never seen an orchestral gig before and
so they're going to get to hear one of
the best orchestras in the world and
I've always been a big fan of Leeanne I
think she's an incredible artist
found myself in a second the BBC
Symphony sure it's a collective of
individuals who are all virtuosic on
their instruments and have studied for
decades to achieve an extremely high
level of performance so to me it seemed
like the perfect marriage really
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
I definitely got the bug for this they
they are amazing and love to do this
again in some other place or and some
other guys so it be yeah be really
amazing to do this again
thank you so much ladies and gentlemen
the Barbican is such an amazing
prestigious venue and I'm really honored
honestly to be here and to be able to
tell me my own songs here with the BBC
Symphony Orchestra no less 'angels
buckling so thanks for making this
possible for me I really feel like lucky
you
