New Model Army‘s Sinfonia has arrived, and it’s the album they’ve spent a lifetime working towards. It is a triumph in every sense of the word.
From the opening, fully orchestral Overture – which gently sets the mood before launching full-throttle into Devil’s Bargain – to the closing of Wonderful Way To Go, it’s an album full of highlights. Performed with Sinfonia Leipzig, conducted by Cornelius During, and arranged by long-time friend and guest- violinist Shir-Ran Yinon, it is a unique take on the band-plus- orchestra approach, yet distinctly New Model Army.
