Radiohead, A Jazz Symphony

This event has ended

National Concert Hall, Wednesday 8th February

The RTÉ Concert Orchestra is proud to present the Irish premiere of Radiohead, A Jazz Symphony. This amazing reimagining of Radiohead as arranged for jazz soloists and orchestra was first conceived as a tribute album by the Noordpool Orchestra and its founder and leader Reinout Douma. Douma joins the RTE CO for the first time tonight to conduct this classy, imaginative piece featuring ‘Paranoid Android’, ‘Nude’, ‘Weird Fishes’, ‘Karma Police’, ‘Exit Music’, ‘No Surprises’, ‘15 Step’, ‘Suite: Everything in Its Right Place – Pyramid Song’, ‘You’ and ‘Creep’. The evening also features bonus Radiohead/Thom Yorke tracks ‘The Eraser’ and ‘Spectre’ and is introduced by Reinout Douma explaining how the project came about.

Jazzenzo magazine writes of Radiohead, A Jazz Symphony: ‘Whether it's the moving, and dramatically small “Exit Music” with fragile violin solo, or the unstoppable “You”, the characters of the various songs are meticulously analyzed and magnified, but not in an ironic way. The specific properties of the material are emphasized. Noordpool Orchestra, similar to the Metropole Orkest, shows what an arrangement can do with a composition . . . Here and there the atmosphere of old-fashioned swing comes to the surface, when the orchestra sounds like a big band. The majestic sound in all its dynamic turbulence can glow, while at some point the detailing is microscopic. The big gesture on the one hand, the small beckoning on the other. And conductor Reinout Douma always leads his team in the right direction.’
