New album: Dido & Aeneazz

Dido &
Aeneazz

New album by Calefax and Eric Vloeimans

Our new album Dido & Aeneazz is out now! A recomposition of Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas by Raaf Hekkema, combined with newly-composed music by Eric Vloeimans.

The album showcases our congenial collaboration between with renowned trumpet player Eric Vloeimans. Dido & Aeneazz invites the listener to join a musical journey that virtuously flows from the baroque original to jazz, calypso and klezmer, and back.

Tracklist

Overture
Peace and I are strangers grown
Fear no danger; Cupid has thrown the dart
A splendid time together *
The triumphs of love
Love dance *
The witches
Ritornel
The sailors
Horizon *
Sailors & witches *
Triumphant witches
Crazy witches *
Great minds against themselves conspire
Dido’s lament
With drooping wings

Recomposition by Raaf Hekkema, after Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas.
* composed and arranged by Eric Vloeimans, instrumentation by Raaf Hekkema.
