“Ratio” takes you on a musical oboe journey in a way you’ve possibly never had before: 40 instruments from the oboe family composing a polyphonic Renaissance choir, swaying rhythms with Steve Reich’s New York Counterpoint, impeccable instrument control with Berio’s legendary 7th Sequenza, Bach’s 2nd Violin Partita in a clever and freshly made multi-voiced setting. Commissioned specifically for this album, in close kinship with Klaassens, a haunting composition by one of the most proficient Dutch composers of now, Jesse Broekman.
Arthur Klaassens belongs to a new age of highly skilled oboe players in the Netherlands, but there’s a lot more to cover with this astonishing artist. The unusualy long production period was has been taken for compiling and recording own, incredibly refined arrangements never resounds in a technical listening experience, but primarily a coherent and very musical captivating one. Truly a rare and adventurous musical document is being presented with the oboe, and all it’s family members, in a golden spotlight.
