BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 in Concert, Patrick Watson with Jules Buckley and the BBC Symphony Orchestra

The Canadian boutique singer-songwriter’s songs reimagined in a concert at the Barbican.

The Canadian singer-songwriter has written some of the most beautiful songs of recent years - here in orchestral arrangements that reveal their artful depth. Recorded at Barbican.

Musical omnivore Patrick Watson has given us some of the most beautiful songs of recent years. He has garnered a dedicated following of deep-listening fans, all of them attracted by music that mines deep subtlety from its expansive tendencies. Watson’s musical outlook ranges from rock to classical chamber music via cabaret and film soundtracks. His gift for melody and narrative and his personal vocal delivery have secured his status as one of the most distinctive songwriters of his generation. With its deep regard for texture, silence and emotion, Watson’s music has always glanced towards the huge universe of the symphony orchestra. This concert, recorded at the Barbican Hall in February,  was conducted by the BBC SO's Creative Artist in Association Jules Buckley - who also wrote many of the arrangements. Watson fans and newcomers alike will hear his songs magnified to reveal all their artful depth.
