Night of Hunters is notable for being Amos's first release through a classical music label and is her first studio album recorded entirely through acoustic means, relying solely on her vocals and classically trained piano skills, along with a variety of accompanying string and woodwind instruments, to create its classical sound. This is the twelfth solo studio album by American singer-songwriter Tori Amos and. It was released on September 20, 2011, through the German label, Deutsche Grammophon. Additionally, to record this album Amos has broken a nearly fifteen-year-long collaboration with her studio and touring bandmates to work with a variety of new musicians, including the Berlin Philharmonic's principal clarinetist, Andreas Ottensamer, and the award-winning string quartet, Apollon Musagète. It also marks the twentieth anniversary of her long-time collaboration with John Philip Shenale, who has contributed arrangements to all of her albums, beginning with her solo debut, Little Earthquakes (1992).

Night of Hunters is a concept album that has been described by Amos as "a 21st century song cycle inspired by classical music themes spanning over 400 years." She uses the musical tradition of variations on a theme to pay tribute to such renowned composers as Bach, Chopin, Granados, Satie and Schubert, while taking inspiration from their original compositions to create a new, independent work. Regarding the album's concept, she has described it as the exploration of "the hunter and the hunted and how both exist within us" through the story of "a woman who finds herself in the dying embers of a relationship."
