Florence + The Machine and Jules Buckley and his Orchestra have announced the release of Symphony of Lungs (BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall).

The concert celebrated the 15th anniversary of Florence + The Machine's debut album Lungs. Reflecting on the album and performance, Welch says: "I always thought maybe I would give my first album a long title. Under Heaven Over Hell ("uh oh" for short) was one idea. But, when I thought of Lungs, I knew it had to be that.

"This album is truly an exhalation and a gasp — a cacophony of ideas and influences. For things to get so big so fast on a debut album is both an unknowable blessing and a curse. You never know if the record (or the person) will survive it. To be able to go back to it, 15 years and five albums later, and have it still be so loved is the most extraordinary thing. Re-imagining it with Jules Buckley and his Orchestra was an act of enormous catharsis."

Jules Buckley adds, "I've performed at the Royal Albert Hall many times over the years, and this energy and atmosphere was insanely electric. Really excited to see the result of so much work from so many great folk. Lungs stands the test of time as one of the greatest records of recent years, and to help Florence realise this orchestral vision has been a dream for all of us involved."
