While promoting their new US/Canadian top ten album, Redeemer Of Souls, Judas Priest singer Rob Halford spoke to Birminghammail.co.uk recently about a number of topics including the desire to work with a classical orchestra.

“It would be incredible if a classical symphony orchestra could play the whole of our last album, Nostradamus, in its entirety. Some bands have done it with a symphony orchestra. Metallica have done it, The Scorpions have done it. But forget the electric side of it, make it ALL orchestral, so the vocal melodies are on violin and it is purely orchestrated. It would be fantastic. It would be a dream come true for me to sit in the audience and listen to our music played that way.”
