12 Ensemble

Resurrection 12 Ensemble Standard edition

The 12 ensemble continue their remarkable rise on the international classical music scene with their stunning debut album 'Resurrection'. Featuring a new work from the acclaimed composer & guitarist of band 'The National' Bryce Dessner, a commission from boundary-pushing UK composer Kate Whitley and works by Lutoslawski and Woolrich, the record is a powerful collection of four works for strings that reflect the ensemble's spirit of bringing new energy and exploration to established sounds and ideas. Always performing without a conductor, the ensemble have developed a reputation across Europe as one of the UK's leading string orchestras. This debut recording highlights the group's commitment to intimate music-making that lives and breathes, performed with dazzling energy and an astonishing sound, all based on the principle of putting the music in charge.
