Tatoos, Black Lipstick…

Tatoos, black lipstick…and Baroque Flute: I Furiosi is the real deal!

If Nigel Kennedy was classical music’s iconic ‘punk pioneer’, this troupe deftly refines the whole package: like Kennedy and Tafelmusik all rolled into one! Concise, dramatic, as well as playful and full of good humour.

Just yesterday at Grapefruit Moon I saw a poster for ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ at Grace-Church-on-the-Hill — their performance was superb, even edgy and wild: besides an engagingly intuitive approach to a wealth of early repertoire, Jed Wentz offered up some of the best Baroque Flute playing this side of The Hague.

Pending approval, here are bootleg samples - teasers really - for a recent CD that you ought to buy NOW to support their European Tour. Subscribe today…see and delight in ‘I Furiosi’, and bear witness to their deserved, meteoric rise!
