What is "Orkestral"?
"Orkestral" is Björk's series of Reykjavík performances in which she reworks her catalog with orchestral and vocal arrangements, with each date pairing her with a different ensemble. The Harpa Concert Hall show paired her with the Hamrahlíð Choir, and this release is the full audiovisual document of that specific performance.
Why the format matters
The inclusion of both Blu-ray and DVD alongside the audio-only LP and CD formats confirms this release captures the filmed performance, not just the soundtrack.
What we don't know yet
No pricing, pre-order dates, or purchase links have been announced. Readers wanting to track the release should watch Björk's and BrooklynVegan's official channels for further detail.
