''Secret Symphony'' is the fifth studio album by singer-songwriter Katie Melua, and was released on 5 March 2012. The album was recorded at Air Studios in London in collaboration with orchestrator and conductor Mike Batt. Melua said in a statement: "This album was going to be my 'singer's album'. I had always wanted to do this one day; singing other people's songs brings something out of you and your voice that isn't perhaps where you would have gone vocally with your own material." She added: "It stretches you. As it happened Mike and I did write a couple of new ones, but the general idea was to find songs by great writers such as Ron Sexsmith ('Gold In Them Hills') and a favourite song of mine, originally recorded by Bonnie Raitt ('Too Long At The Fair') plus some more well-known ones like ''Keeping The Dream Alive''." The lead single, "Better Than a Dream", and the track "Walls of the World" were both originally recorded by Melua's longtime collaborator Mike Batt, for the TV series ''The Dreamstone'' and his 1977 solo album ''Schizophonia''〔http://www.allmusic.com/album/schizophonia-r30066〕 respectively. The record serves as the follow-up to Melua's 2010 album ''The House'', which reached number four on the UK album chart. Musicperk.com rated the album 9/10. 〔http://www.musicperk.com/secret-symphony/〕 A "Special Bonus Edition" of the album has also been released. It consists of the album, four extra track dubbed "The Secret Sessions" and a second cd containing a live album: "Live In Berlin".
