Background

Conchita and the Vienna Symphony performed together at the Vienna Festival in 2017. After the festival, they decided to team up again and record a joint album. The album includes beloved ballads and heartfelt songs symphonically arranged for the unique sound of the traditional Viennese orchestra conducted by Guido Mancusi. The album also includes a new version of her Eurovision Song Contest 2014 winning song, "Rise like a Phoenix".[2] In an interview with Wiwibloggs, Wurst said "I'm over the moon, this really is a dream come true, that’s the soundtrack to my life. It's so overwhelming that I now have all of these songs that I have been singing for years and years on my own, in the shower or whatever, and now I'm performing them with an actual orchestra. It's a whole new experience. Listening to my music, and obviously for me performing my music, with an orchestra it's nerve-wracking. I have to be honest. So many people, and I get so nervous, and they are all depending on me. And they are all the best musicians you can get. I just want to live up to their standards. But I enjoy it so much. It's like a huge heart that is beating, this orchestra and it pulls you in and you can bathe in the sound".[3]
