Data Insight

All fourteen tracks carry her and only two carry nobody else, because the classical composers whose themes she varies take credits on the rest. Bach, Chopin, Schubert and Satie appear in the writing column of a Tori Amos album, which happens nowhere else.

Night of Hunters came out on Deutsche Grammophon in September 2011, a song cycle built on variations of classical themes, and sold 18,000 in the United States. It runs 71 minutes across fourteen tracks.
