Our Take

In a world where octets are just as rare as a sincere apology from Kanye West, Cello Octet Amsterdam rise to the occasion with Michael Gordon's latest masterpiece. Gordon, known for his avant-garde compositions and refusal to conform to musical norms, has crafted a sonic experience that is as unsettling as it is enchanting.

From the opening notes of "Cello Octet Amsterdam," it is clear that this is not your grandmother's cello music. The eight cellists wield their instruments like weapons, creating a cacophony of sounds that defy description. At times discordant and abrasive, yet at others, hauntingly beautiful, Gordon's compositions push the boundaries of what is considered "music" with every bow stroke.

Tracks like "Cello Rumble" and "Octet Overture" showcase the ensemble's technical prowess, with each member of the octet taking turns to shine in the spotlight. The interplay between the cellists is nothing short of mesmerizing, as they navigate Gordon's complex rhythms and unconventional harmonies with ease.

If you're looking for a musical experience that will challenge your preconceptions and leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about music, look no further than Cello Octet Amsterdam's latest album. With Gordon at the helm, this octet is a force to be reckoned with, pushing the boundaries of what is possible with eight cellos and a whole lot of talent.
