Delirium Musicum presents "Cabinet of Curiosities," a captivating journey through a diverse collection of musical masterpieces, set for release on October 31, 2025, under Warner Classics. This enchanting album spans a little over an hour and five minutes, offering a rich tapestry of compositions that blend classical elegance with cinematic grandeur.
The ensemble delves into a variety of styles and eras, from the hauntingly beautiful "Adagio for Strings" by Samuel Barber to the eerie tones of the "Danse Macabre" by Saint-Saëns. Fans of film music will appreciate the inclusion of pieces like the pulsating "Misirlou" from "Pulp Fiction" and the chilling excerpts from Bernard Herrmann's score for "Psycho." The album also showcases lesser-known gems, such as the evocative "Desert Ecology: V. Cactus-Yucca Scrub" by John Luther Adams and the serene "Gnossienne No. 1" by Erik Satie.
Delirium Musicum's interpretation of these pieces is both fresh and respectful, highlighting their unique ability to breathe new life into both familiar and obscure works. The album is a testament to the ensemble's versatility and technical prowess, making it a compelling addition to any classical music lover's collection.
