“Dark Paradise” Swedish Radio’s choir tribute concert

[Beautiful Loser 49,715]

Edit 2024-12-22: Original title was [“Dark Paradise” Swedish Radio’s choir interprets Lana].

 

“Step into the American artist Lana Del Rey’s impulsively sad and vintage-scented music which have gotten a new shape with this performance. Moto Boy and Jennie Abrahamson, two artists who don’t avoid strong feelings and expressions, will guest the praised and almost 100-year-old-jubilarian Swedish Radio’s choir under the direction of Hans Ek, who has also arranged the music.”

 

December 6 and 7, Stockholm.

If not filmed, I hope it’ll be audio recorded by the radio at least!

wait i kinda wanna go, we rarely get stuff like this here 

[Beautiful Loser 49,715]

After much consideration, I got a ticket for myself and one for my mom.

I saw that Jennie Abrahamson who will perform left a comment on Instagram, confirming that it’ll be recorded by Swedish Radio and later aired on two radio channels but she doesn’t know when. I’ll keep my eyes open and share it here when it’s out!

I’m heeeere, I heard a flute player warm up to the first tunes to NFR, sounded heavenly 

[Beautiful Loser 49,715]

I don’t know if anyone really cares but, I love how they managed to capture the chaotic feeling in A&W and fingertips made me cry. I think this recording will air on radio December 22, it was apparently video recorded too for the venue’s streaming service too.

Sounds so interesting I wish we had some recordings.

It made me cry, and I was certainty not the only one sniffling after it finished.

Wow, thank u @Beautiful Loser  ♥️

Forgot to mention, but the concert was described as an “interpretation of LDR’s songs” when tickets were sold but at the actual concert, they said it’s a tribute to her music and artistry which, I think, is huge for someone who’s (major debut) career has only lasted for a little over a decade! A tribute is usually held for artists and bands with several decades behind them, or have left some kind of impact with their music. I’m a very proud fan.
