New worlds open up before us upon hearing these performances by the Ensemble Encore, one of the shooting stars of the a cappella scene: the musicians have already won multiple awards, including at the a cappella competition in Leipzig, and are feted by their audiences! On their GENUIN debut release, the six young ladies and gentlemen captivate not only with their sparkling clean and well-formed ensemble sound, but also with an exciting and unconventional program in which spirituals meet Renaissance and tango is heard alongside symphonic classics. Brilliant arrangements and ear-opening originals: from Deep River to Libertango and the “Lamentation for Maundy Thursday” – full of surprises for the connoisseur and a joy to the newcomer.
