Upon A Different Shore is a 16-track modern symphony enriched with breathtaking composition and arrangements that make Ralph Vaughan Williams and Stephen Sondheim work seamlessly with songs originally by Pink Floyd and Sting, among others.
Hot on the heels of 2015's acclaimed debut album A Year Of Songs, Alexander Armstrong has carefully hand selected the track listing encompassing an eclectic mix with a few surprises, chosen because they would work in harmony. As well as tracks originated by Sting, The Stranglers, Pink Floyd, Stephen Sondheim and Kygo, the record also features traditional folk songs and classical compositions by Vaughn Williams and Caroline Dale, two of which feature oboe performed by Armstrong.
