Since the Three Tenors first became superstars in the early '90s, a trio of tenors has become a standard vocal ensemble formation. The Tenors, however, expanded on that idea to form a quartet, originally comprised of Victor Micallef, Clifton Murray, Remigio Pereira, and Fraser Walters.
The title of this exceptional disc, "Night Music", should not be taken to mean that the performances are in any way dark, mysterious, droopy, sluggish, or otherwise conventionally "nocturnal". Rather, the term evokes its 18th century musical meaning: a time for fun, relaxation, parties, entertainment both indoors and out, and of course, romance. Indeed, "Romantic" is perhaps the best way to describe these virtuosic, impulsive, and extravagantly expressive performances by the inimitable Andrew Manze and his team of crack "authentic-instrument" players.
The Time It Takes released by Oskar in 2015. The brand new album, a progressive monster with a harder edge. Over ten years in the making, but well worth the wait. Nice Beaver was founded in 1997, when members of local bands Scotty! and For Cryin' Out Loud decided to work together. The group stems from Papendrecht, a small town near Rotterdam. The name Nice Beaver refers to a joke from the movie Naked Gun, where a game is played with perceptions and expectations. Sometimes things are not what you perceive them to be, and sometimes what you see is what you get. A similar game with reality and our expectations can be heard in the music of Nice Beaver. Deceptively simple rhythms turn out to contradict the melody, while the most complex patterns produce groovy tunes.
