Beautiful Dreams is the twelfth album by British-Irish singer-songwriter Chris de Burgh, released in 1995.
"This is the album I've always wanted to make; a live studio recording of personal favourites, old classics and new songs, with full orchestra and choir.
It was recorded in London over a period of eight days (instead of the usual three-four months) in July '95, and to sing each track surrounded by an orchestra, without the benefit of the safety-net of modern technology, was immensely exciting - everything in one take, the way it used to be!"
The first half of this concert saw de Burgh perform a solo set of songs from throughout his career.
The second half was a performance of tracks from the Beautiful Dreams album, with a full orchestra.
