Our Take

Review:

When it comes to contemporary classical music, Richard Rijnvos is a name you simply cannot ignore. His latest album, "Block Beuys," performed by the renowned IVES ENSEMBLE, is a wild ride through a sonic landscape that is as unpredictable as it is captivating.

From the moment you press play, you are catapulted into a world where traditional notions of harmony and structure are tossed out the window. Rijnvos combines elements of minimalism, avant-garde, and even a touch of post-rock to create a sound that is uniquely his own.

The IVES ENSEMBLE's performance is nothing short of electrifying. Their tight ensemble playing and unwavering commitment to the music bring Rijnvos's compositions to life in a way that is truly spellbinding. From the delicate interplay of strings to the powerful blasts of brass, every moment on this album is a testament to their musical prowess.

Tracks like "Block Beuys I" and "Block Beuys III" stand out as highlights, with their shifting textures and intricate rhythmic patterns keeping the listener on their toes from start to finish. It's a rollercoaster of a listening experience that is both challenging and rewarding in equal measure.

In conclusion, "Block Beuys" is a must-listen for anyone with a taste for the unconventional. Rijnvos and the IVES ENSEMBLE have crafted a masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of contemporary classical music, and the result is nothing short of spectacular. Strap in, turn up the volume, and prepare to be blown away.
