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 arranged 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.
