Agnes Obel, born October 28th 1980, is a singer-songwriter from Denmark. Her classical and folk crossover music earned her five prizes at the Danish Music Awards in November 2011.

Obel had the privilege of growing up around music, as her father would love to collect strange objects and instruments such as the xylophone and even a double bass. Her mother was a pianist and would play Bartók and Chopin on the piano. Obel naturally took to the piano at a very young age. Her teacher told her that she shouldn’t play what she doesn’t like, so she just played what she liked. As a musical artist, Obel discovered Jan Johansson’s works, which were pivotal to her understanding of creating music, especially in an individual way. It was in 1987 that Obel joined her first band as a singer and bass guitar player. She even had a small part in a short film alongside her brother called Walking Backwards. She recounts that this was around the time that she stumbled upon an album called “Dummy” by Portishead, which left a lasting impression on Obel, describing it as the mix of melancholy and a dream.

She met Danish musician and producer Elton Theander, and together the pair founded the band Sohio. It was a short-lived project, as Obel decided to move to Berlin after visiting it once, and has lived there since. In 2009 Obel uploaded a demo of her song “Just So” onto her Myspace page. Despite the song being used in an advertisement for Deutsche Telekom, Obel had to fight hard looking for a label.

Agnes Obel however, was offered a deal under PIAS Recordings in 2010, and released her debut album “Philharmonics” that same year. She writes, plays, sings, records and produces all of her material on her own, taking a lot of care perfecting the piano alongside the vocals as she has said “The piano and the singing are two equal things to me – maybe not inseparable but very connected. You can say they are like two equal voices”. The album went to number 1 in Denmark and Belgium. It also charted in France, Netherlands and Switzerland, going 5x Platinum in Denmark alone. Her sophomore release, “Aventine” gained similar success, again, making it to number 1 in Denmark and Belgium.

It was on her 2014 tour that she decided to start work on her third studio album, saying that she wants to work less with piano and more with other kinds of old keyboards.

Agnes Obel’s debut record rich with obscure cerebral tales to excite the curious mind, first tiptoed over the airwaves in 2010. All of the songs are self-penned, self-produced and recorded in Berlin, Danish-born Agnes’ adopted hometown. The interwoven, haunting stories, reminiscent of the mysterious and macabre folklore spun by Angela Carter and the Brothers Grimm, are accompanied by the delicious sound of piano, violin and cello, a veritable heady mix of music for the mind, body and soul. The journey offered through this intoxicating wood invites you to veer off the beaten track to explore the powdered, crisp ground beyond, which is where, ((hush) if you dare), you will observe magic, mysterious, emotion laden songs falling from a sun dappled September sky tempting you to reach out to catch. Until the release of her 2013 follow-up record, Aventine, Agnes was THE best-kept secret, hidden intentionally amongst the flora and fauna of small European venues before the inevitable larger outfits greedily clamoured and, bringing with them, a greater distance between artist and audience. However, Agnes’ simple, pure and unassuming approach will surely keep the corporate beast at arm’s length, as this is where the beauty of her live music set lies; the emotive, lush, vibrating sound of a sumptuous voice caressing sublime lyrics along with instruments, which work best in spaces built to give the optimum acoustically, not typically nurtured by the back breaking caverns found on the contemporary world tour.

A rapidly expanding European tour has gained momentum, transporting Agnes back and forwards across the globe, with the north Americas and Australia desperately craving their aural fill. This is no wonder as an Agnes Obel concert is as charming, easy, beautiful and intelligent as she herself is; you sit and sway, beautifully crafted song after song warming and welcoming you, yet always leaving you wanting more. Having been lucky to see her live on a few occasions, it is notable that she has grown in confidence in her interactions with the audience. This is pleasing as her dry musings raise a smile or communicate something precious from the closely watched heart of hers about the song to be performed. For example, Agnes shared with her Barbican audience in April 2014 that Run Cried the Crawling’s inspiration is a story her late father used to tell her as a child; it was a poignant personal grain laid bare before us, rendering her questioning whether she could carry the song having evoked the memory of a dear loved one lost and the audience feeling even more protective towards her. Live performance affords experiment and clever tinkering with songs in the way that adds fuel to a brightly burning fire, giving the hungry crowd a raw and satisfying feast on which to dine as opposed to a note perfect impression of her records. A delight for one’s senses, leaving a unique almost spiritual glow only experienced on rare occasions from a live concert. Whichever path Agnes chooses next, one thing is for sure; her words are never dead, they are alive, and leave an ingrained melodic memory never to be erased.

To begin with, the concert took place in awesome Paradiso in Amsterdam, a place so legendary that you are immediately in a different state of mind and energy as you step in. So we had a gorgeous location and atmosphere. We were thrilled since the first moments we had together that evening, at her entrance on stage, when she greeted us with such a kind and joyful smile that you were quickly swept away - convinced that what's coming is special. And it was, she carried us softly and chillingly through the new stories she sings these days, blended with the older and more familiar ones. The mix was perfect from my point of view, and I liked very much the (new) focus on cellos - including for her older songs. It was my first Agnes Obel concert, so I don't know if that happens usually when she plays live. The ladies in her band are awesome! They have beautiful voices and are very talented, really nice to see how the group works together to get every song to a higher level than what you had in your mind from the recordings. I was very happy that she also did what we were all 'crying' for (I imagine) - she played The Curse and ended with Riverside. We had a very special evening, I was very excited to be there and the audience was great. I highly recommend going to one of her concerts, even if you are just curious about the experience and not a die-hard fan. Oh, there was even a funny moment when something went wrong with the sound - as in we had a squealing sound out of the blue. Her reaction was priceless - very sweet, relaxed and natural. Thank you!

Simple melodies are what Agnes Obel herself has stated that she is attracted to. I find that lovely. Sometimes with today's music there really is just too much going on. The human ear and the sense of hearing is delicate. It can easily become overloaded. And over time, music lovers have shown that simple is good, that less can be more.

Agnes Obel takes us back to a place of peace and serenity: the tones are pure as the driven snow. The harmonies, the keys pressed and placed, they all have a distinct purpose. Not everyone will appreciate this, sadly.

It is soft, gentle yet is able to reach around and embrace your most vital organ, your heart. Agnes Obel is in a class all her own. Her performances are memorable, really unforgettable: they generate and evoke a reaction. Nope- you won't really find a rowdy audience erupting in thunderous applause of shoutouts, but you can tell through their reactions how much they are pleased by Agnes and her contributions to performing arts. A wonderful, intimate experience.

An excellent show from start to finish. Full of ethereal tones and haunting melodies each member of the band accompanying Obel were on point, mixing their low and high voices with Obel's and braving difficult combinations of sound with percussionist ever keeping the beat and rhythm on going. Both cellists (who also served as piano and percussion) were particularly spectacular in my opinion as they worked both in sync but also went off on solo expeditions within a given piece. The strong lead vocals from Obel and her witty conversations between songs encouraged the crowd on as the lights changed from song to song, adding to the other ambiance to create a perfect environment to enjoy great music.

I love Agnes Obel. Her music en voice are beautiful, mezmerizing, hanting.

In that respect the show was wonderful. She performed with two cellists and a drummer/oboe player.

All girls. Wonderful!

The lighting was another matter. It was very over the top, moving, blinking, rotating. It was distracting me from the music and voices. Sometimes the spots were directed at us, the audience. The light was blinding and really interfered with my enjoyment of the voices and music.

It almost seemed as if she's afraid that the audience will be bored by a calm show in which the voices and music literally take center stage.

Anges, we will not be bored! Please tone down the lighting. :-)

As expected, the performance of Agnes Obel was great. There were a few things that made it less pleasant than it should be. The artist before AO was truly terrible, very far below the quality of AO. The sound quality made it stressful for us and the temperature and humidity in the hall made it tropically damp, not my cup of tea.

For us, it's very strange that the quality level of everything on that evening was that extremely far below the standard that Agnes Obel deliveres. I'd love to sea her show again but never again in the "Forum de Liege".

A truly memorable show and delighted we could be there. She wandered on to the stage very quietly around 9pm with her three musicians and played an amazing repertoire of old and new. She seemed very modest on stage and spoke few words but the music was powerful. Highlight for me was Fuel to Fire and Philharmonics. She said this was the final night of her tour. During her encore her famous Riverside was a real treat. Would not miss her next show and thanks to Songkick for the clever alert this time around !

I loved every second of this performance ... I was fortunate to be standing 5m from the stage ... the power of the cellos ... the focused faces of the four ladies who really played as a happy team ... the updated arrangements were refreshing in subtle ways compared to the albums ... an excellent group of female musicians/singers ... Agnes was much more relax & talkative than during previous Belgian concerts ... extremely enjoyable ... and thanks for bringing Mark Berube along!

We didn't like the performance too much, AB is too big for her music. The CD is excellent and the show she gave a few years ago in Brussels Royal Circus was a reference (although she was having a cold!). No, Agnes, stay away from these big concert halls and leave at least two musicians home, you’re doing much better alone!

Agnes Obel delivered a memorable show filling the room with a melodious sound of piano and cellos enhanced by a spot on percussion and amazing singing (really good back vocals). Personally I thought the best moments were The Curse and On Powdered Ground.

Sure would appreciate someone who has taken "Best of Moscow by high speed train" from St. Petersburg could please share their impressions of this shore excursion. From the description this sounds like a very long day.

Wondering how the 4 hour train trip was in terms of accommodations, etc. Also what time did you leave the ship and what time at night did you return? Were both legs of the trip on the high speed rail (I read that slower trains also travel the same tracks)?

My wife and I are considering this excursion. We thought that if we are making all the effort to go to Russia then how could we pass up going to Moscow, walking in Red Square, seeing St. Basil, etc.

If you are considering this on the 2015 June Baltic cruise on Voyager; my suggestion is don't. There is so much to do in St. Petersburg and although a train is one of my favorite ways to travel the time would be far better spent in St. P.

Thanks for the advice. Yes, this would be on the Voyager during the 2015 season but not yet sure exactly which cruise.

We did the Moscow excursion "on a different luxury line", but from your brief description it sounds very much like the same trip, so I will operate on that assumption. It is a VERY long day! We left the ship at 5:30 AM and returned at 12:30 AM. The highspeed train trip is comfortable, and while they call it "Business Class" it does not compare well to the equivalent class on say Rail Europe. When we did it in 2011, we did have highspeed both ways, and the trip back seemed much longer as the adrenaline and excitement had worn off!:D

Moscow itself is not that terribly different from any other big city in the world, but this Cold War kid never thought he would ever stand in Red Square, never mind walk the grounds of The Kremlin, or tour The Kremlin Palace, or see (but not visit) Lenin's Tomb, or visit The Armoury. But he did, and he loved every minute of it! Yes, it is a long day, and you barely scratch a scratch on the surface, but it is worth it. There is a tremendous amount to see in St. Petersburg, but every Baltic cruise goes to St. Petersburg, so you can go back if you choose to. Not every cruiseline offers you the chance to see Moscow.

I have not personally done this tour, but our last time in St Petersburg, the private guide that we hired for a day was leading the regent tour to Moscow on the high speed train the next day. He said it was way better than the previous alternative, which was flying to Moscow and back. He said that you actually got to Moscow faster because you didn't have to deal with airline checkin etc. it did seem like a very long day to me, and there is so much to see and do in st. Petersburg that I didn't consider doing it.

We toured to Moscow from St. Petersburg via the hi-speed SAPSAN train last September, from a Baltic cruise on the Oceania Marina. You need to have a two-night, three day port call in St. Petersburg to take this tour because the tour typically leaves the ship around 5:00 - 5:30 AM and doesn't return until after midnight the next day. We didn't take the ship's tour; we made private arrangements with TravelAllRussia for three days of touring, the first and third days in St. Petersburg and the second day the tour to Moscow by train. Our cost for the private tour for three days was about the same as what the ship charged for the excursion to Moscow alone. There are a number of private tour agencies that operate in St. Petersburg and offer the Moscow train tours; we would strongly recommend them over the ship's tours.

All three days had private guides with car and driver. The second day, the driver picked us up at the ship and took us to the train, but we were alone on the train, and met in Moscow by the guide on the station platform. After our tour and dinner, we were brought back to the train and after the return train trip met by the driver and taken back to the ship. Because you are alone on the train you must have your own Russian visas.

If this is your first visit to St. Petersburg, I would agree there is much more to see there. We found Moscow somewhat a disappointment, particularly Red Square. The Kremlin and the cathedral in Red Square were also worth seeing. But the best thing we saw was the Moscow subway! I worked for the Washington Metro system back in the 1980s as it grew from 40 to 80 miles and although I was in the computer area, I learned a lot about the challenges of running a subway system. We used the Moscow system to get across the city from where we had dinner to the train station, and I was amazed at the cleanliness', speed of operation, the short headways maintained, and the courtesy of everyone involved. A very impressive experience!

We had been to St. Petersburg before, and so had the time to take a day and go to Moscow. Also, I really like trains, and the SAPSAN is a German train set running on Russian rails. Seats are like first class domestic air, spacious but not too plush or comfortable, but with enough room. Not too much recline, and almost 8 hours on the train in two shots is a lot for an old man. They come through and sell drinks, candy, etc. but the sellers don't speak English and no one around us helped, so we had just poor coffee once coming, and brought stuff with us for the trip back. Not too much to see from the train either, particularly on the return when it is night the whole way.

If you decide to go, take a private tour and avoid the overly expensive ship's tour. I'm glad we did it, but wouldn't bother to repeat the tour; we've seen Moscow.

Thanks so much to all of you for the thorough and thought insight. Yhe information you have provided is most helpful.

countflorida: Your detailed post is very helpful. We are not quite ready for a Baltic cruise but should do so within a year. Time enough to do our pre travel research, bookings and visa gathering.:) Thank you!

Sure would appreciate someone who has taken "Best of Moscow by high speed train" from St. Petersburg could please share their impressions of this shore excursion. From the description this sounds like a very long day.   Wondering how the 4 hour train trip was in terms of accommodations, etc. Also what time did you leave the ship and what time at night did you return? Were both legs of the trip on the high speed rail (I read that slower trains also travel the same tracks)?   My wife and I are considering this excursion. We thought that if we are making all the effort to go to Russia then how could we pass up going to Moscow, walking in Red Square, seeing St. Basil, etc.

I did this on Seabourn. IMO DONT. Take Aeroflop (er Aeroflot). The train has non folding seats where you are literally knee to knee with your fellow passenger (facing each other). Further they don't believe in air conditioning. It's also the worlds slowed bullet train. I think I would have found more enjoyment wandering around the St. Petersburg and Moscow airports.

Countflorida,

This is a little off topic,, however we had planned a river cruise in Russia but decided we would rather stay on land and have booked about two weeks with Travel-All-Russia using the private guide and driver. I'm curious as to how you found them as a tour company.

The guides they provided were fine. We had a different guide each of the days in St. Petersburg, but both were flexible, pleasant, knowledgeable and spoke English very well, as did the guide in Moscow, incidentally. She was a bit aloof, distant, not too friendly, but otherwise fine. In fact, she was the one who suggested taking the Metro, which unexpectedly became one of the highlights of the Moscow excursion. If I have a complaint with AllTravelRussia, it is with their plan and its execution (more later).

I had requested emphasis on World War II (in Russia, the Great Patriotic War) sites and info. In scheduling us, they weren't careful about dates and a couple of the sites we wanted to see were scheduled on the third day, after we'd been to Moscow. But both sites were closed that day of the week, and that info was readily available, right on web sites describing them. Also, the included meals (lunches in St. Pete, dinner in Moscow) were not what we asked for: light meals with some choices, so we could avoid things we didn't like and choose things we did like. My request was ignored; we were given full Russian meals with a fixed menu, no choice. On the first day, a fish dish was the entre, but I am allergic to fish. Fortunately, I had the e-mail I'd sent with me and showed it to the guide, and she was able to change my entre to chicken, which was very good actually. But we didn't want a 3-4 course lunches or dinner (in Moscow). We had the guide drop the lunch the third day, although we never got any credit or refund. But, particularly in contrast to the ship's tours, the prices were so reasonable we didn't worry too much about it.

The people who were on the ship's tour to Moscow saw us boarding the same train for which they were forced to queue up and wait on the way back, and asked us what we had done. I was candid and open so they were not happy when I explained what we had arranged and particularly what it had cost. Also, when we returned to the ship, we found they had laid on a late supper for those who had gone to Moscow, so up we went and had something. Well, it turns out the late supper was supposed to be just for those on the ship's tour, but we and others on 'independent' tours, there were a dozen or more of us, crashed the party, actually got there first, and they didn't realize it until the larger group arrived and there weren't enough tables/places set. By that time, the 'independents' had all gotten served and were eating; what could they do?

A couple from the larger group sat down with us and asked us about our tour, and they were the ones I told about our arrangement and its cost. They turned to others who’d been with them and announced the details, loudly enough so the whole room heard, which started a lot of bitching and complaining. I gathered they weren't very happy with the ship's tour to begin with, and this was the straw that broke the camel's back. We finished up and beat it out of there, but overheard later that one of the excursion staff came to check on something and ran into a real mess. I caught a cold on the trip, which forced me to bed the second day following in Tallinn, so by the time we reappeared we heard about the contretemps' but apparently no one recalled who started it, thankfully.

Because of what happened to us, I would probably not use AllTravelRussia if I were to go again, or if I did, I would be sure to get confirmation of every detail of the tour. They do have good reviews generally, and we were certainly helped by their visa department and liked the guides and drivers. Their weakness, I say now with full 20:20 hindsight, is that once the sales person who plans the tour, sells it to you and collects your money, he (or she) transfers the plan to their Russia office for implementation; there is no follow-up to make sure it gets done right. And that is where our problems arose; we paid for a custom tour but got a standard package with a few destinations switched, and no one checked them out, even to see when they were open the day we were scheduled to go. If you check every detail that’s important to you, it should be OK, but that’s a hell of a way to have to do business, in my opinion.

Thank you for the 20/20 hindsight observation on your Russian tour operator, and better priced than the ship's excursion cost.

Thanks very much for the feedback.

We had the same experience as you so far as price. We originally booked a Viking Cruise but, hearing some things about the river cruises that made us unhappy, looked into other options. T-A-R cost the same or less than a cruise and had us in hotels for 11 days. We opted for the private tour. They have three tour levels, based on hotels. We originally opted for the four star as it did not cost much more than the three star hotels. Finally we decided to throw it all in and upgraded to five star. In Moscow we will be at the newly opened Kempinsky which is two blocks from Red Square. In St. Petersburg it is the Grand Hotel Europe, one of the most vaunted luxury hotels in Russia. Location is important for us as the tours use up only part of the day so being in the center of everything for our independent touring is important. As with many other cities, the less you pay, the farther out of the center of town you are.

We have been working with our salesman in D.C. and he seems to get back to us with the changes we want. He recently returned from Russia so is up on everything. When I asked they said they paid the full TA commission if I wanted so I got my usual TA on board so he is watching our back and giving us that extra level of comfort. He also set up our air, which I know pays him little or nothing, and got us business class for much less than T-A-R wanted for economy, though it took working for a while with a consolidator. He's happy to get his 10 percent on this trip without having booked it. He also took care of the trip insurance. We've been doing a lot of research on the CC sister site Trip Advisor and will write a report there. We will, I guess, become a source of info for CC members after having spent 5 days in Moscow and 6 in SP.
