"Angel Dances" is a captivating classical album by Die 12 Cellisten der Berliner Philharmoniker, released on June 5, 2006, under Warner Classics. This ensemble, renowned for their virtuosic performances, presents a diverse collection of pieces that span from the sacred to the evocative, all masterfully arranged for their distinctive 12-cello ensemble.
The album opens with a suite from Piazzolla's "Concierto del Ángel," a work that blends the tango's sensuality with classical elegance. The ensemble then transitions to a sacred choral piece by Carissimi, showcasing their ability to adapt and perform diverse musical styles. Debussy's "La cathédrale engloutie," arranged for cello ensemble, is a highlight, with its shimmering harmonies and evocative imagery.
Arvo Pärt's "Fratres," in its 1982 version for cello ensemble, is another standout track, offering a meditative and introspective journey. The album also includes arrangements of Bach's "Jesus bleibet meine Freude" and Mendelssohn's "Elijah," demonstrating the ensemble's skill in bringing choral works to life with their cellos.
The album concludes with "Miniatur (einer Seelenreise)," a piece that encapsulates the ensemble's ability to convey deep emotion and introspection. With a duration of 1 hour and 13 minutes, "Angel Dances" is a testament to the versatility and artistry of Die 12 Cellisten der Berliner Philharmoniker, offering a rich and engaging listening experience.
