Mercury Studios has announced that it will release on Blu-ray Peter Gabriel: Taking the Pulse. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on October 10.
Description: Peter Gabriel takes the stage with 50 musicians from The New Blood Orchestra, conducted by Ben Foster. They, along with vocalists Melanie Gabriel and Ane Brun, deliver bold new arrangements, by John Metcalfe, of classic Gabriel songs, with the striking rule: no guitars, no drums—just orchestra.
Filmed under the stars at the Arena di Verona in Italy on September 26, 2010, Taking The Pulse is directed by Anna Gabriel. The result is a dramatic, visually striking experience. Peter Gabriel and The New Blood Orchestra perform against a backdrop of massive screens projecting vibrant animations and visuals, dramatically contrasting with the night sky. From the thunderous intensity of the opener Rhythm of the Heat, to the haunting mood of Intruder, and the euphoric energy of Solsbury Hill, the orchestra navigates every shift in emotion and tempo with precision and passion.
