Product Description
Album Description
2011 album from the acclaimed singer/songwriter. Night Of Hunters is a 21st century song-cycle, inspired by classical music from the last 400 years. Following the idea of the classical song-cycle, the all-new songs from Night Of Hunters tell an ongoing contemporary story. Its central character is a woman ending a long relationship, allowing the listener to follow her on a journey over the course of one night to explore complex musical and emotional themes With this album Tori Amos carries on the classical tradition of variations on a theme: taking the inspiration from works of other composers, not to copy or replace the originals, but to create an entirely new work out of them, which is also a tribute to the mastery of the original compositions. For the first time in years Amos has decided to place the piano once more at the centre of an album. All songs on Night Of Hunters were recorded entirely with acoustic instruments, focusing on the piano and an ensemble of strings and woodwinds.

Tori Amos; Night of Hunters,
By
This review is from: Night Of Hunters (Deluxe CD+DVD) (Audio CD)
Well this CD was a surprise. I always expect Tori to march to her own drum & she has done that again with this CD. It is clearly classical in nature so for those thinking this is going to be a mainstream commercial CD of Tori's a word of warning it is not.However it is still an excellent CD; carefully crafted with some amazing classical musicians & wonderful vocal accompaniments as well. The CD packaging is beautiful as have most of the last few CD's that Tori has put out. They are like a present in themselves to open as attention is paid to the telling of the story that unfolds in the CD. For customers who enjoy classical music; they will enjoy this CD. It isn't exclusively classical but actually when I first listened to it I felt like I was in a theatre in England back in time & was both watching & listening to a current play. The lyrical writing is really amazing on this CD as well & I'm sure being an artist one wants to switch it up every now & then for the creative spirit most artists have. With Tori; when she does this you see how truly artistically gifted she is & no doubt hear the intelligence in the lyrics which only come from someone with a high intellectual IQ. Give it a listen for those who love classical music, instrumental music & music that comes from a higher thought process than "Hit me baby one more time"!

Pleasant listening,
This review is from: Night Of Hunters (Audio CD)
A rather beautiful album, but lacking the edginess that I normally associate with Tori. Lovely orchestral work, but the messages of the songs are lost within the obscure methaphors that are used throughout. Disappointing, simply because I was expecting something different.

Haunting melodies,
This review is from: Night Of Hunters (Deluxe CD+DVD) (Audio CD)
I've enjoyed her music from the beginning of her career, but had a preference for the earlier, more acoustic/simpler sounds. I was pleasantly surprised that Tori had gone back to a more melodic sound. Great listening for a chilly fall drive through the woods.
