The Brahms Project (2025)

"It takes either complete madness or extraordinary inspiration to dare tackle Brahms in such a way. Fortunately, the musicians behind this project fall squarely into the latter category. They take the themes suggested on the album cover, twist and stretch them to their limits, and invite us into a world fueled by a deep, infectious passiona passion that bridges classical music and jazz, wandering through many unexpected detours before delivering an album that is truly original. It is clear that years of diverse experience have shaped the exceptional quality of the arrangements. Most fascinating of all, these musicians pull you deep into their inner landscapes, only to snap you back, sometimes quite abruptly, to the tangible reality of their vision. And somehow, it works. These musicians have pushed their creative powers to extraordinary heights, rewriting Brahms in their own image. The result is complex, luminous, restrained, a true delight."
