Talking Music - Soloists: Stuart Murdoch
Stuart Murdoch from pop group Belle & Sebastian talks about his orchestral pop project ‘God Help the Girl’. He is honest in the fact that as a youngster he had no interest in orchestras or classical music but that an interest grew as he did. Stuart talks about being heavily influenced by Phil Spector and his ambition to create 3 minute symphonies. He describes the practicalities of working with orchestras and the need for them to feel integral to the music, not just an enhancement.
Features the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ SSO rehearsing a number of ‘God Help the Girl’ songs.
