“…it’s a rewarding collection of works…” David Kettle, The Strad.
"The music appears multi-faceted, rich, deep and well-crafted. Instrumentally sublimely redeemed.” Ivan Rod
"Unbelievably good-sounding music has come out of it...You can feel the unstoppable flow of inspiration that the potentially endless method of adaptation has prompted..." Rasmus Weirup, SEISMOGRAPH
"I don't think I've ever been invited on a similar musical journey before...Banke, Filipsen and Pasborg are both brilliant instrumentalists and obviously visionary musicians." Tor Hammerø - NETTAVISEN 5/6
With Adaptations, The Firebirds – Banke, Filipsen & Pasborg, a critically acclaimed Danish trio, carve out a musical realm where genres intertwine and strict fidelity takes on a fluid form. Departing from convention, the trio ignites a sequence of improvisations that evolve into fresh string quartets, composed by a variety of contemporary classical composers and performed by the Nordic String Quartet, ultimately morphing into new arrangements, creating an ever-changing musical landscape.
