Acclaimed organist, Anna Lapwood has unveiled a breathtaking reimagining of ‘Time’ by Hans Zimmer. Listen HERE. ‘Time’ is the third single to be released from her forthcoming album Firedove which is out May 30th on Sony Classical. Anna has also just been announced as one of the 25 inspiring and powerful people in The Sunday Times’ celebrated ‘Young Power List’.
Already renowned for introducing the organ to new generations of music fans through her extraordinary interpretations of both classical and contemporary works, Anna Lapwood has become known to millions through viral TikTok videos, high-profile collaborations and sold-out live concerts.
Firedove effortlessly demonstrates Anna’s open-minded approach to music, one where a Vierne scherzo can sit alongside a rendition of Robbie Williams ‘Angels, and Maurice Duruflé’s ‘Prelude and Fugue’ with Bob Dylan’s ‘Make You Feel My Love’.
The repertoire choices on her album clearly indicate that it is Anna’s most personal record to date. She is no stranger to blending classical music with pop having performed with RAYE, Florence & The Machine & Aurora, even finding time to give Tom Cruise an impromptu organ lesson during a late-night rehearsal at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
On Firedove Anna Lapwood brings a breath of fresh air into classical musical making. “Since I started focusing on the music I loved and stopped worrying about what others felt I ‘should’ be doing, I have fallen in love with the organ again in a completely new way” she says.
The results are staggering, and Anna’s intense musical passion is evident throughout Firedove. An intoxicating listen.
