Bjork & the brodsky quartet at St.Georges bristol Dec 1998

[jp4151]

Most of us are familiar with Bjork's concerts with the Brodsky Quartet at the Union Chapel from December 1999, but apparently a year earlier she did a "secret" gig (not sure how secret or how it was a secret) with the Brodsky at St. Georges in Bristol.

There is so little info on this show online, and I was hoping some Bjork old-timers could shed some light on this show?

I did find one review from The Independent which was extremely positive:

The most interesting tidbit is that, according to the review, the show was recorded. Slim chances of a release 21 years later, but at least (hopefully) the show survives in a vault or hard drive somewhere.

For anyone interested, I created a wikipedia page for Bjork and the Brodsky's quartet's concerts at the Union Chapel. I really enjoyed doing all the research and I learned a lot I didn't know about this wonderful collaboration!

Like, for example, their performance of Hyperballad from 1997! Here's a brief glimpse of the performance. To my knowledge this is the only footage of Bjork and the brodsky quartet that has been shared with the public (please correct me if I'm wrong)
