Ensemble Perspectives – Playlist (2021) [FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

Ensemble Perspectives, an a cappella vocal quintet founded and directed by Geoffroy Heurard, creates programmes that blend the mainstream classical repertory with lesser-known composers and folk and pop songs. These pieces are sung in transcriptions ‘tailor-made’ for Perspectives, which works with world-renowned arrangers and composers of all aesthetic persuasions. The group’s new album, entitled Playlist, allows today’s ears to grasp the timeless threads that link Purcell to Brahms, a traditional song to an American song crooned by entire generations.

A playful and inspired journey through the music of Purcell (Dido’s Lament), Brahms, Ravel and Faur’e, traditional songs such as Joshua fit the battle of Jericho and Fr`ere Jacques, and songs Paul Simon (Mrs. Robinson and 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover) and Tom Waits (Alice).
