Now this is something quite different; Era Classics might sound like yet another “best of” album from a major label artist – but that is not the case at all. The new album from Eric Lévi’s popular Era project (famous for such songs as Ameno, Cathar Rhythm and The Mass) is actually a collection of works by classical artists such as Verdi, Bach and Mahler – all remixed to fit into Era’s famous soundscape. Sample it here – and in the video below.

On Era Classics you can hear Era’s versions of such songs as Ave Maria, Four Seasons and Adagio For Strings. And as usual, the focus is on vocals that reminds of Gregorian Chants. Needles to say, it is a beautiful collection. The use of samples also creates an interesting atmosphere.

Another aspect with Era’s music is the gorgeous videos that emphasize the medieval atmosphere – Era’s most prominent trademark. See the video here

Like previous Era albums, this one too was also first released in France (on November 2nd). I have been unable to find an international release date, but I will keep you posted. It will probably take a few weeks (or months) more. Enjoy the video below in the meantime.
