This is the fourth album on Brilliant Classics by the Dutch‐based recorder quintet Seldom Sene. Having come from all over Europe to study at the Amsterdam Conservatoire, they draw upon the particularly rich performing tradition for recorder music established in that country during the 1960s by the late Frans Brüggen. In fact they take their name from the last track on this album, Seldom Sene by Tye: a short work full of beauty, precision and striking rhythmic complexity that the musicians felt captured the essence of their vision, which is to perform unique and compelling repertoire at a standard that is seldom seen and heard.
Their previous albums have attracted international attention and critical acclaim. Regarding their beguiling arrangement of Bach’s Goldberg Variations (95591), the Dutch OpusKlassiek magazine noted: ‘Seldom Sene has an extensive and highquality range of instruments and, above all, excellent musicians… there is a lot of variety and contrast, with the five ladies in full command of their virtuosity… this performance is far too interesting and attractive to fall asleep to.’
The Bach was preceded by two inventive compilations, ‘El Aire Se Serena’ (95304) and ‘Taracea: A Mosaic of Ingenious Music Spanning Five Centuries’ (94871), given an enthusiastic welcome by Gramophone: ‘The range of styles in this enterprising recital is only the most striking of several distinctive features. The programme is carefully chosen, the passage between styles cleverly judged on the whole, the contemporary works included here being especially well integrated… [there is] commitment, technical versatility, unanimity of ensemble and near‐immaculate tuning on display.’
