Adele - Live At The Royal Albert Hall ^new^ ◎ [FRESH]

The Royal Albert Hall is a daunting space. With its soaring glass dome and red velvet tiers, it can swallow artists whole, making them feel small and distant. But Adele does the opposite: she makes the 5,000-seat hall feel like a cozy West End pub. Director Paul Dugdale—who would go on to direct the Grammys and Glastonbury—makes the smart choice to keep the cameras intimate. Close-ups catch the sweat on her brow, the trembling of her hand holding the microphone, and the crinkle of her eyes when a joke lands.
