Anna Lapwood - Firedove [Audio CD]

Anna Lapwood, renowned for introducing the organ to new audiences through viral TikTok videos, high-profile collaborations, and sold-out live concerts, takes flight with her remarkable new album "Firedove". On this release, she spreads her wings across a dynamic range of repertoire, blending both new and familiar works in her engaging and inimitable style. Recorded during overnight sessions at Nidaros Cathedral—the spectacular 11th-century Gothic masterpiece in Trondheim, Norway—"Firedove" showcases Lapwood's open-minded musical vision, where a Vierne scherzo sits alongside Robbie Williams' "Angels", and Maurice Duruflé's "Prélude and Fugue Sur le nom d'Alain" is paired with Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love". This is her most personal and surprising album to date, featuring works from Louis Vierne's technically demanding "Naïades", Poppy Akroyd's shifting "Murmurations", and Hania Rani's transcendent "Glass". "I wanted to create an album where the listener doesn't quite know where it's going to go next," says Lapwood. "There are lots of little easter eggs in there that you wouldn't expect—even the first appearance of the choir—and a through-line of flight and spreading wings, because this does feel as though I've found what I want to say as an artist. I'm very proud of it."
