Philharmonix

Description:

The Philharmonics, a unique ensemble, consists of three members of the Vienna Philharmonic, two soloists from the Berlin Philharmonic, one of the most versatile Austrian pianists, and a singing violinist with a penchant for improvisation. The seven musicians include three members of the Vienna Philharmonic, two soloists of the Berlin Philharmonic, one of the most versatile Austrian pianists, and a singing violinist who excels at improvisation. Together they bring us a intoxicating cocktail of classical, jazz, klezmer, Latin, and pop music. Philharmonics' third album represents the ensemble's tonal range: 13 new compositions and arrangements, covering all musical genres from classical, swing, and folk music to pop. Mainly "Requiem for Falco," a song dedicated to an Austrian pop legend who died tragically, and a wonderful arrangement of R. Strauss' "Dance of Salome," there is also an in-depth exploration of traditional folk songs, klezmer music, Cossack choral music, Australian sorrow, French way of life and Balalaika, all of which are perfect for Philharmonics.
