CAPRICE "Songs of Innocence and Experience"
Reviews
"Caprice", the band from Moscow that plays elven-music, that
is, a very beautiful and catchy music in neoclassical style, has recorded a
new album under the title of "Songs Of Innocence And Experience" (lyrics by William Blake).
Creatively rewriting the works of the poet, the band that consists of seven
people and is run by Anton Bregestovsky, again gave us beautiful airy melodies
and sparkling waterfalls of words, that fly elegantly across the strings of
the stave. The marvel of live acoustica of the many instruments, amidst which
are horns (flute and oboe) and strings (violin and cello) and the hypnotizing play of Inna Bregestovsky wonderful voice, enshroud you like a cloud from the
very first minutes of listening, and do not let you go till the very end,
giving life to vivid glimpses of gone epochs, when great artists and thinkers made beauty. First of all, this CD impresses by its musical
maturity and solid conception. There is nothing unnecessary, and, although
each song is independent, together they create a composition of a work of art,
when it is impossible to add or put away anything. Certainly, this is more
than a deserving monument to the great poet, built in music. Soft play of the
keyboards, gentle tunes of the violin, splendid vocals... The great verses of
an English poet, set to exquisite music - what could be better? Better can
only be the next album of Caprice with poems of J. R. R. Tolkien, which will
appear in the nearest future. And for the present, enjoy the charming tunes of "Songs Of Innocence And Experience"
and think about the past, when everything was different from what we have
now...
