Between Spheres focuses on the sound poetry of the recorder consort. Music of the 17th century is interwoven with a contemporary work cycle dedicated to the quartet. Both musical spheres have a beauty of sound that captures the ear and makes the listener wonder where one era ends and the other begin. The Boreas Quartett Bremen presents a magical sound of the flute ensemble that switches between worlds of expression with virtuosity: it sounds like birdsong in Poglietti’s Rossignolo and Schönewolf’s Unter Kranichen, hypnotically set with low flutes in the polyphonic Ricercari of the Late Renaissance, agile and highly virtuosic in fugue compositions of both eras. The pieces are closely interwoven, hovering “between spheres”. The recording is the second release of the Boreas Quartett Bremen after the ICMA award-winning album Basevi Codex from 2022.
