Rodrieg Ensemble – Holy War X
Description
The Paris based Rodrieg Ensemble was established by three award-winning artists in order to explore the relationship between contemporary classical music and established repertoire through reference performances of thematically selected chamber music. Although part of the Rodrieg Ensemble’s artistic vision is to expand the range and context of its core flute/cello/piano trio, its repertoire is not limited to or even predominantly based upon this configuration. Rather, the Rodrieg Ensemble pursues programming projects in which repertoire selections are made in order to effectively elucidate a given idea or theme. Thus, performances include works for solo, duo, trio and larger ensemble with guest artists. This album, which could be succinctly described as ‘Debussy and After,’ is a perfect example of the Rodrieg Ensemble’s multi-faceted artistic vision.
