The concert in Wrocław is going to be the first event on the “Rattle That Lock” tour in which the 30-piece orchestra of Zbigniew Preisner—the famous musician and Gilmour’s long-term colleague—is going to take part. The special guest of this concert is Leszek Możdżer—an exquisite pianist and the Artistic Director of the Jazz on the Odra. This amazing event at Wolności Square in Wrocław, right in front of the national Forum of Music, will be filmed by the famous director of music and documentary films, and the author of the covers of Pink Floyd’s albums, Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell.
David Gilmour previously performed in Poland in 2006 at the Gdańsk Shipyard in the memory of establishing the NSZZ “Solidarność” trades union. That marvellous show resulted in a concert album and a DVD edition—“Live in Gdańsk” featuring the appearance of the special guest star, Richard Wright from Pink Floyd.
David Gilmour
is an English musician, singer, and composer born in Cambridge. One of the world’s best guitarists of all times and a long-time singer and guitarist in the Pink Floyd band. Gilmour joined Pink Floyd in 1967 replacing Syd Barrett. His characteristic guitar tune was one of the sources of the Floyds’ success in the 1970s. David Gilmour also took the lead of Pink Floyd after the band’s reunion. The British musician and composer worked with such personae as, amongst others, Grace Jones, Tom Jones, Elton John, B.B. King, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Sam Brown, Bob Dylan, Pete Townshend, as well as with The Who or Supertramp bands. He also formed many supergroups that staged occasionally during many charity concerts. He discovered and promoted the singer, Kate Bush. He has recorded four solo albums: “David Gilmour” (1978), “About Face” (1984), “On an Island” (2006, with the songs arranged for the orchestral performance by Zbigniew Preisner and recorded with Leszek Możdżer), and “Rattle That Lock” (2015). On 6th March 2016, David Gilmour celebrated his 70th birthday.
“Rattle That Lock”
It is the fourth solo Gilmour’s album. Published on 18th September 2015, it was a world-scale success. It was ranked the first place on the charts in 11 countries, including Poland and United Kingdom, and made it to the top five on the charts in 12 other countries, Germany amongst others. The album also ranked the highest place on the American charts in whole Gilmour’s carrier. On iTunes, the album scored the first place in 12 countries. The next stop of “Rattle That Lock” tour, after Europe, are the United States and Canada. Gilmour is to give concerts in Los Angeles, Toronto, Chicago, and New York.
