Our Take

Trouble in paradise? Not for Ensemble Villa Musica, whose latest release, Schulhoff Chamber Works, is a delightful romp through the avant-garde world of Erwin Schulhoff. This Czech composer may not be a household name, but his music is a treasure trove of sonic surprises.

From the quirky syncopation of "Five Pieces for String Quartet" to the jazzy rhythms of "Divertimento for String Quartet, Op. 213," Ensemble Villa Musica navigates Schulhoff's eclectic sound world with precision and panache. The musicians bring a playful energy to each piece, finding the perfect balance between technical virtuosity and expressive freedom.

Highlights include the hypnotic "Concertino for Flute, Viola, and Double Bass," where the performers showcase their impeccable ensemble playing. The haunting melodies and intricate textures are brought to life with a sense of urgency and a touch of whimsy.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Some listeners may find Schulhoff's dissonant harmonies and unconventional structures challenging. However, for those willing to embrace the unexpected, this album offers a rich tapestry of sounds to explore.

In conclusion, Ensemble Villa Musica's Schulhoff Chamber Works is a daring and dynamic recording that pushes the boundaries of classical music. With its mix of inventiveness and virtuosity, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who gives it a listen.
