In their new album, they don't stop dazzling us. John Brunning plays a track from his featured Drive Discovery at 6.15pm every weekday.Īfter the phenomenal success of the first two albums, Camille and Julie come back with #3. Influenced by improvisers, along with composers such as John Adams, Desplat, Newman, Marinelli, Williams, Elgar, Vaughan-Williams and Tavener, Ola describes his music as “a lyrical mix of improvisation and classical”, and others often describe it as “cinematic… evocative, lush, story-telling…” His concentrated harmonies and rich textures combined with graceful, engaging melody, contain echoes of Morten Lauridsen, Eric Whitacre, and the best luscious film scores. Gjeilo – pronounced “Yay-lo” – has evolved a musical style which is at once contemporary and familiar. Radiant vocal textures are enhanced by transcendental instrumental additions a twinkling piano performed by Ola himself captivating, exquisite strings and bewitching acoustic guitar.Įthereal yet tangible, this is music with wide appeal music of purity and beauty music at once restful and uplifting.
