Preceduta da Joan is a PoliceWoman, Regina Spektor si è esibita in uno splendido concerto a Villa Arconati il 15 luglio scorso dove ha presentato i brani dal suo recentissimo album uscito per Sire/warner intitolato "Far", album co-prodotto da tre nomi d'eccezione come Mike Elizondo, Jeff Lynne e Garrett Lee.
