Not sure how interested we are in the instrumental version (Sin Palabras) of her fantastic Night of the Hunters album, but Tori Amos is releasing it on Deutsche Grammophon. Those guys don't just press out any songstress with emotive piano chops; this is the real deal as The Apollon Musagete Quartet and the Berlin Philharmonic clarinet soloist Andreas Ottensamer expand the original album arrangements. While you wait until December 13 for the record to drop, be sure to check out Ms. Amos on a quick North American "coastal+Texas" tour before the end of 2011. No word on dates in the new year, so be sure to ask for an early present of Tori tickets.
