Our Take
Our Take
Diving into the latest album from Calefax Reed Quintet, one might expect to be transported to a world of classical beauty and precision. And indeed, the Dutch ensemble delivers just that with Part/Arbos/Byrd/Magnificatin. From the first notes of Arvo Pärt's mesmerizing "Fratres" to the intricate harmonies of William Byrd's "In Nomine a 5," Calefax effortlessly intertwines a diverse range of compositions with their unique reed instrumentation.
But don't let the seriousness of the repertoire fool you - Calefax brings a playful energy to each track, infusing even the most solemn pieces with a sense of whimsy. This is perhaps most evident in their interpretation of Josquin des Prez's "Magnificat Septimi Toni," where the quintet's seamless blend of woodwind voices creates a sound that is at once ethereal and earthy.
With Part/Arbos/Byrd/Magnificatin, Calefax Reed Quintet proves once again why they are considered pioneers in the world of classical music. Their ability to breathe new life into centuries-old compositions is truly something to marvel at. So put on your fanciest monocle, grab a glass of champagne, and let Calefax whisk you away to a musical realm where the reeds reign supreme. Trust us, you won't regret it.
