Love is a rollercoaster, and so is this swinging new take on Virgil’s
classical tragedy. Dido & Aeneazz is a recomposition of Henry
Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas by Raaf Hekkema, combined with newly-composed
music by Eric Vloeimans. The album showcases the congenial collaboration
between the versatile reed players of Calefax and renowned trumpet
player Eric Vloeimans. Dido & Aeneazz invites the listener to join a
musical journey that virtuously flows from the baroque original to
jazz, calypso and klezmer, and back.
Acclaimed in the Netherlands and abroad, the members of Calefax arguably
invented a completely new genre: the reed quintet. After their
successful PENTATONE debut with Hidden Gems, these gentlemen add yet
another treasure to their discography.
