Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective
Hailed by The Times for its ‘exhilarating performances’, the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective was dreamed up in 2017 by Tom Poster and Elena Urioste, who met through the BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists scheme. The Collective operates with a flexible roster which features many of today’s most inspirational musicians, both instrumentalists and singers, and its creative programming is marked by an ardent commitment to celebrating diversity of all forms and a desire to unearth lesser-known gems of the repertoire. In 2020, it was appointed Associate Ensemble at Wigmore Hall, where the group makes multiple appearances each season and, in May 2021, was invited to give the Hall’s 120th anniversary concert. It broadcasts regularly on BBC Radio 3 and has recently been ensemble-in-residence at the Aldeburgh Festival, Kettle’s Yard, Ischia Music Festival, and Cheltenham Festival where the group gave several world premières and collaborated with Sir Simon Russell Beale and the cast of The Lehman Trilogy. The Collective has also made recent festival appearances at Cambridge, Dublin, Lammermuir, Oxford Lieder, and Chamber Music by the Sea, in Maryland, USA. Its début recording for Chandos Records, American Quintets, was an Editor’s Choice in Gramophone and nominated for a BBC Music Magazine Award. Passionate about inspiring the next generation of musicians, the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective has featured in the Learning Festival of Wigmore Hall and directed courses for the Benedetti Foundation.

“…The recorded sound is top-notch and the booklet notes are all one could wish for. I have much praise for the Arbor Piano Trio, who are excellent in every way and give the music the rhythmic urgency, vitality and thrust it requires.”

“…This disc offers an excellent introduction to the marvellous music of Carl Nielsen. However, established Nielsen enthusiasts should also add this splendid anthology to their collections without delay. Another winner from Naxos, which I recommend very warmly indeed.”

“…This CD is a marvellous work of art. As a concert programme, it would be unforgettable. As a disc you can pull down from your shelf when the mood takes you, it is as irreplaceable as a volume by a favourite author – be sure never to lend it to anyone, you’re unlikely to get it back!”

“… This CD shows the journey from Mayer’s accomplished writing in the style of composers from the early 19th century to her later works in which she finds her voice and culminating in the highly satisfying Faust overture. The Kölner Akademie under Michael Alexander Willens play magnificently and are obviously fired up by the drama of the later works while Tobias Koch is as sprightly as ever in the concerto.”

“…I thoroughly enjoyed this CD. As well as enjoying the music and the consistently excellent performances, I enjoyed the variety of the programme. David Bray, whose notes are very useful, was right on the money in saying that there’s something for everyone…”

“… Sound quality is excellent. It is especially gratifying that the engineers were able to capture these performances in such crystalline sound, a sound that captures Ms. Faletta’s impeccable attention to detail and color… This is close to an hour of very pleasant listening … and is worthy of a place on any cultured record shelf. The music is a nice addition to the impressionist repertoire, and a great diversion from Afternoon of a Faun. Recommended.”
