'David Gilmour Live In Gdansk’, the first solo live album from Pink Floyd’s singer / guitarist, captures the magic of his concert held in front of 50,000 people in the Gdansk shipyards, the final performance of his critically acclaimed 2006 ‘On An Island Tour.’ It also features the first ever recording of selected Pink Floyd classics performed with an orchestra.

The double live album ‘David Gilmour Live In Gdansk’, produced by David Gilmour and Phil Manzanera, features the Gdansk concert and demonstrates a musician and his band playing at the very peak of their musical brilliance. The six piece band is accompanied for the only time during the ‘On An Island Tour’ by an orchestra: the 40-strong string section of the Baltic Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra in Gdansk conducted by Zbigniew Preisner, orchestral arranger on David Gilmour’s critically acclaimed solo album, “On An Island.” It is the first ever live recording with an orchestra of Pink Floyd’s ‘High Hopes’ and ‘A Great Day For Freedom,’ the latter performed here as a oneoff for this special Solidarity anniversary.
