About this product
The Dutch reed quintet Calefax celebrates 35 years of adventurous and versatile musicianship with a collection of Musical Offerings from Johann Sebastian Bach, arranged by the ensemble's saxophonist Raaf Hekkema. Arthur Klaassens joins the ensemble on a lupophone and English horn for Musikalisches Opfer, the main course of this programme, as well as for the 14 Canons, BWV 1087, creating a unique blend of wind instruments. The album concludes with Bach's Canonic Variations on Vom Himmel hoch, BWV 769, a piece full of allusions to Christmas-related Bach pieces, including references to his Christmas Oratorio. Bach's Musical Offerings is Calefax' third PENTATONE , after the well-received Dido & Aeneazz (2019), a virtuosic and eclectic recomposition of Purcell's famous opera performed with trumpetist Eric Vloeimans, as well as Hidden Gems (2018), showcasing the quintet's versatility with pieces ranging from Corelli and Satie to Nina Simone.

Much Ado, the solo debut album by Korean American violinist Danbi Um is as striking for the young musician's choice of Inchold worldInch repertoire as her virtuoso interpretations and the sumptuous sound she draws from her 1683 Inchex-PetschekInch Nicolo Amati violin. Danbi conjures memories of a musical Golden Age, a sensibility instilled in her by a roster of internationally renowned tutors. The title track by Eric Korngold's Shakespeare-inspired suite sits alongside arrangements of works by fellow Austro-Germanic composers Fritz Kreisler and Richard Wagner. Hungarian gipsy music infuses compositions by Johannes Brahms, Jeno Hubay and Erno Dohnányi, juxtaposed with music by Jewish composers Ernst Bloch, Joseph Achron and Leo Zeitlin. A multiple award winner - Danbi has taken top prizes at the Yehudi Menuhin and Naumberg International Violin Competitions, and Astral Artists' Auditions - she has been praised by The Strad as an Inchutterly dazzlingInch artist with a Inchmarvelous show of superb technique.Inch A resident of New York City, Danbi performs regularly with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and further afield with the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, Washington D.C.'s Phillips Collection, and the Rockport, Moab, Saratoga Performing Arts and Santa Fe Music Festivals.
Khruangbin's first album is simply amazing. The groove rhythm of the bass perfectly melds with the guitar textured melodies as they are surrounded by a melodic drum beat that takes you to journey into another world. Each song is a distinction of it's own, from the Soul rhythm of InchMr. WhiteInch to the Thai funk inspired InchDern KalaInch to the the surf rock of InchZionsvilleInch. It's a musical masterpiece to experience.
