Our Take

Ensemble Tetrachord's latest offering, "When Breath Becomes Sound," is a symphonic masterpiece that beautifully blends classical and contemporary elements with a quirky twist. From the moment the first notes hit your ears, you are transported to a world of whimsy and wonder.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Aria for Aeolus," a sweeping piece that showcases the ensemble's technical prowess and emotional depth. The interplay between the strings and woodwinds is nothing short of magical, drawing you in and holding you captive until the very last note fades away.

As the album progresses, tracks like "Rhapsody in Cyan" and "Scherzo for Sirens" add a touch of playfulness to the mix, with their jaunty rhythms and unexpected harmonies keeping you on your toes. It's clear that Ensemble Tetrachord isn't afraid to take risks and push the boundaries of traditional classical music, and the result is truly something special.

But perhaps the standout track on the album is the epic finale, "Ode to the Octave." Clocking in at over ten minutes long, this sprawling opus is a tour de force of orchestration and emotion. As the music swells and builds to a breathtaking crescendo, you can't help but be swept away on a wave of pure sonic bliss.

In conclusion, "When Breath Becomes Sound" is a must-listen for any music lover looking to experience something truly unique and extraordinary. Ensemble Tetrachord have outdone themselves with this album, and I for one can't wait to see what they do next.
