Paul Simon - The Quiet Celebration Concert (CD)

Paul Simon brings his critically acclaimed and GRAMMY®-nominated Seven Psalms to life in this first-ever live performance of the complete piece for his Quiet Celebration, an intimate evening spanning his vast career and celebrating new arrangements of timeless classics, deep cuts, and new musical discoveries. Inspired to perform again, Simon began work rehearsing and figuring out how he could bring Seven Psalms to the stage. His transformation of the movements for live performance gave way to all-new renditions of some of his most cherished songs and a deep desire to bring these contemplative and intricate pieces to audiences. A Quiet Celebration toured the US in small venues, selected for their acoustic prowess and intimate setting, allowing audiences to engage with the music like never before. Recorded live at McCaw Hall in Seattle, join Paul for this unforgettable concert.
