LONDON, April 23,
2024 /CNW/ -- Trickster, the alias of Austrian
musician and entrepreneur Juergen
Pichler, has only one rule: "Do it big, or don't do it." And
so he is making his stirring new rendition of the UK national
anthem available today, 23 April
2024, St George's Day. A brand new arrangement commissioned
from the feted Callum Au, who also
conducted the players, this version was recorded in Studio One at
Abbey Road, and features an expanded line-up of the Royal
Philharmonic Orchestra.
Trickster said, "So, yes I am Austrian, but I love the UK and I
wanted to make something special. I hope that when he hears it, it
brings some joy to King Charles, and
of course the whole country."
The process to create this incredible recording started before
the news of the King's diagnosis, and is now intended as both a
gift and a tribute to the head of state of a country to which
Trickster has made contributions to both social and cultural life.
Much of Trickster's music was recorded in legendary UK studios,
Abbey Road itself, but also RAK, Angel, and more. The video for his
swing-infused Christmas single "Silent Night v Santa Claus Is
Coming To Town" was shot at Pinewood Studios – and racked up over a
million YouTube views. Working at Pinewood Studios was a great
experience, and Trickster is also now moving into filmmaking, his
first project being an action movie – based on real life events –
entitled Travel Agents. Trickster will feature in the film
himself, and some big movie names are in the mix to join him.
The Trickster philosophy also embraces the idea of challenging
the old ways of doing things, and making a genuine difference. His
motto is "Real change is no joke," and he has put his money where
his mouth is with a string of large donations to foodbanks across
the UK; in London he "out-gave"
Tesco in 2022, and his most recent support has gone to the
South West Belfast initiative.
So, all rise please for "God Save The King," the first version
to be recorded for the monarch by a foreign national. The next
stage is to find the right occasion to perform it; Wembley Stadium
perhaps, but of course Trickster would love to debut it at
Buckingham Palace itself.
