Caprice – Elven Music

Formed in 1996 by composer Anton Brejestovski, Caprice are a neo-classical ensemble based in Russia and are signed to the French Faerie music label Prikosnovenie. Between 2000 and 2005 the group produced a trilogy of albums, the Elvenmusic collection. Parts I and II are musical accompaniments to JRR Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings, while part III - Tales of the Uninvited, is Caprice’s own take on the realm of Faerie and its music. Besides being beautifully crafted music, it is sung entirely in Laoris – a unique language of Faerie (more on this tomorrow…). Current projects include composing the score for a ballet called The Faerie Queen, and their first album Mirror has just been re-released.
