Since emerging on the NYC café circuit in 2001, this Russian-born, Bronx-bred artist has been hailed as a truly special talent. With an uninhibited imagination and acute sense of detail both in music and words, Regina Spektor has gone from practicing on an out of tune piano in the basement of her local synagogue to hypnotizing small crowds in NYC's lower East Side to selling out venues like New York's Radio City Music Hall worldwide.
Spektor continues to showcase her amazing ability to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary with her unique and provocative vocal style and prodigious piano skills garnered through years of classical training.
Live in London is the first live recording and concert film from acclaimed artist Regina Spektor. Captured mainly at London's famed Hammersmith Apollo Theatre, Live in London features remarkable performances that span Spektor's brilliant catalog of music, including three songs that have only been performed live (Silly Eye-Color Generalizations, Bobbing For Apples, and Love, You're a Whore). Live in London was recorded during Regina's UK tour in support of her previous album, "far", which debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200.
An artist praised for her remarkable originality, inspired storytelling and enthralling performances, Rolling Stone raves Spektor "put on one of the most intensely joyful rock shows we've seen all year".
The Philadelphia Inquirer adds, "Everything she did was greeted with thunderous applause... the audience could not get enough. Perhaps what was most remarkable about Regina's performance, aside from hearing Spektor's gorgeous vocals in person, was her ability to enrapture the crowd... Spektor's passion, vitality and sheer musical talent transformed the Electric Factory into a world of intimacy."
The Boston Globe simply says, "multitalented Spektor is capable of anything and it shows on stage."
