Tori Amos’ Night Of Hunters is fraught with pretension

Amos’s Bösendorfer (the daddy of grands) is paired with a bevy of classical instrumentalists. It is fraught with pretension and overwrought arrangements and borrowings from Mussorgsky and Chopin are obvious – but other songs find their magic.
Snowblind revels in the Bösendorfer’s famous sonorities, while Seven Sisters’ reworking of a Bach prelude is indeed inspired.
