Our Take

Norwegian avant-garde ensemble Vox Clamantis teams up with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra and maestro Lars Notto Birkela on their latest release, "Akrostikon: Works By Bjorn Kruse, Kjell Habbestad And Kjellmer British English."

This album is an eclectic, mind-bending journey through the minds of three contemporary composers who push the boundaries of classical music. From the hauntingly beautiful melodies of Bjorn Kruse to the experimental sounds of Kjell Habbestad and Kjellmer British English, Vox Clamantis and the Norwegian Radio Orchestra deliver a performance that is both captivating and unpredictable.

The album opens with Kruse's "Akrostikon," a mesmerizing piece that combines intricate vocal harmonies with lush orchestral arrangements. The haunting beauty of the music is matched only by the precision and emotion of Vox Clamantis' performance.

Habbestad and British English take listeners on a more experimental journey with tracks like "Doppelganger" and "Concordia," pushing the boundaries of what classical music can be. The dissonant harmonies and unconventional instrumentation create a sense of unease that is both exhilarating and unsettling.

Overall, "Akrostikon" is a bold and ambitious album that showcases the immense talent and creativity of Vox Clamantis, the Norwegian Radio Orchestra, and the featured composers. It's a must-listen for anyone who craves music that challenges and inspires.
