Caprice

Caprice creates music that feels like it was discovered in a dusty, velvet-lined chest within a forgotten tower. It is deeply rooted in the neoclassical tradition but infused with a specific, high-fantasy wonder that sets it apart from more academic chamber music. The sound is dominated by the interplay between Inna Brejestovskaya’s soaring, operatic vocals and a rich acoustic palette of harp, flute, and cello. It is music that prioritizes beauty and world-building over modern cynicism.

What makes them truly distinctive is their commitment to the concept of 'Faerie.' Rather than just singing about myths, they attempt to inhabit them, even going so far as to perform in 'Laoris,' a language invented specifically for their Elven trilogy. The production is clean and spacious, allowing the natural timbre of the woodwinds and strings to shimmer with a light, almost supernatural clarity. It avoids the gloom of darkwave while retaining a sense of ancient mystery.

Start with the Elven Trilogy if you want to experience their most immersive narrative work. It is the perfect entry point for those who appreciate the intersection of J.R.R. Tolkien’s linguistics and sophisticated chamber arrangements. For a more varied experience, their later work like 'Kywitt! Kywitt!' introduces playful, almost avant-garde elements while maintaining their signature ethereal grace.
