". . . expect lively Latin rhythms, trumpets a-plenty, and some of Karl Jenkins' trademark Adiemus close-harmony singing . . . the music gradually builds in intensity . . . unmistakably Adiemus . . . [Canción turquesca]: Rolando Villazón's unmistakable vocals alone bring incredible depth to this bittersweet song. And Milos is back once more, adding with a touch of Montenegrin passion into the mix . . . [a] relaxed jazzy feel running through the album . . . A high-energy trumpet solo from Pacho Flores, the Venezuelan trumpeter, ensures the album ends with a bang." --Record Review, Classic FM (London), July 2013
“classical-world-jazz fusion tracks, where colour and texture matter more than anything, musical substance included. Each of the 13 tracks, heavy with Latin-American influences, is named after a different hue” --The Times, 4th July 2013 ***
Since his debut album, Adiemus – Songs of Sanctuary, Jenkins’s albums have sold over two million copies around the world.
His distinct signature sound has reached mainstream audiences around the globe through its use in scores of TV and cinema commercials in over 20 different countries. Levi Strauss, Delta Airlines, Cheltenham and Gloucester, Lexus, Japanese Airlines, Lux Soap, Hewlett Packard, De Beers, Johnnie Walker, Renault, BMW, Audi and Chanel No. 5 are just some of the brands to use his music to help sell their products and brand messages
Adiemus Colores is his first work of its kind for ten years, and employs the rhythms, sounds, colours and textures of Latin American music to create a distinctly unique and exotic sound-world – EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!
Scored for choir (The Adiemus Singers), instrumental forces and a super-tight rhythm section, as well as solo guitar, trumpet and voice – this world premiere recording features Fado sensation Cuca Roseta, star guitarist Miloš, new trumpeter on the block Pacho Flores and the world’s favourite tenor, Rolando Villazón.
