Two Radiohead songs going classical

Two Radiohead songs going classical

Radiohed are going classical. Not the band itself, but anyway. Let us try to be more clear. Minimalist composer Steve Reich has announced that he will be reworking "Everything in its right place" from the band's "Kid A" album, and "Jigsaw falling into place" from "In Rainbows" as part of a piece titled "Radio Rewrite".

 

The songs from the Oxford band's back catalogue will be performed by the London Sinfonietta Orchestra on March 5 2013 during the Southbank Festival.

 

Talking about his new project, chief executive Andrew Burke stated: "I don't think Steve will be quoting these songs directly – I don't think that's his style. How he uses the songs as a starting point for what he does is going to be part of the excitement".

 





Radiohead have recently announced their new tour. Thom Yorke and his fellows will play in the US around March and will hit Europe and UK during the summer.
