Sagittarius are a duo from Germany that plays neo classical and this is a review of his 2020 album "Songs Of Dream And Death" which will be released on November 25th as a joint effort between Die Neuse Runde and Pierre Marteau.
Tragic sounding pianos start off the album along with some stringed instruments in the background which also takes the music into more of a neo classical direction. Whispered vocals are also added into some parts of the recording along with one track also bringing in more of an operatic style of singing.
Orchestra style structures are also added into some parts of the music along with the music also capturing the atmosphere of the mid 19th century European Romantic era. As the album progresses the song also gets more darker and diverse sounding as well as the album also having its melancholic moments, spoken word parts can also be heard at times.
Sagittarius plays a style of neo classical that is very dark, melancholic and romantic sounding. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and German and cover Symbolism, Expressionism and Romanticism as well as reciting poems written by Stefen George, Karl Wolfsheki, Par Langervist and Count Erik Stenbock to music.
In my opinion Sagittarius are a very great sounding neo classical solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Kunft-Tag I" "Kahl rekt der baum" "Invictus" and "Antithesis". 8 out of 10.
