Hlao-roo 389 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 http://online.wsj.co...2970906492.html"I remember 'Superman,' especially the intro where they explained what Krypton was," she said recently over tea in a sandwich shop here. "That music was so beautiful. It matched so perfectly with the images." It also helped inspire her future career. "I was either going to play violin in an orchestra or sing it, but I'd have something to do with the planet Krypton and Superman."To fulfill her plan to perform film scores, on her new album, 'Petra Goes to the Movies' (Anti-), she sings all the essential brass, reed, string and percussion parts to 13 themes, including two by John Williams for 'Superman,' overdubbing her voice as many as 40 times.

chuck 154 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I thought this is some philosophical mumbo-jumbo about how the orchestra works like a woman and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 In that case my favourite sort of woman is the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Powerful, precise, refined... and under the right direction they will blow you away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck 154 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Oh yeah, she knows how to work all her parts, right? Plus when she's loud, she's loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 It's a cool idea, but I don't think I could listen to this CD more than once or twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck 154 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 It's a cool idea, but I don't think I could listen to this CD more than once or twice.Hey, with a good orchestra, size doesn't make a difference. It's how you work the baton, you know what I'm saying?And listening to a CD is like watching internet porn. It's not better than with the real thing.
