Leading Hamburg-based hip hop producer Matthias Arfmann has devoted himself to his greatest mission so far *– his ambitious goal: to rearrange the classical hits of European ballet music,* taking them out of theatres and onto the dance floor! “Ballet Jeunesse” features notorious guest artists such as New York rap legend KRS-One,* Kele Okereke,* frontman and lead singer of the English indie rock band Bloc Party,* as well as German hip hop star Jan Delay *(from Absolute Beginner). In a creative process over many years Arfmann and his collaborators have taken ballet classics by Khachaturian,* Bizet,* Prokofiev,* Holst,* Tchaikovsky,* Ravel,* Stravinsky,* Debussy and Satie and reworked them into the 21st century,* adding a modern slant to their beauty and brilliance,* recomposing and revitalising them to make them accessible and exciting for a new target audience. The orchestral origins are interwoven with contemporary compositions of their own,* interspersed lyrics,* braided a connective cord of most diverse genres from Dance,* Pop and Hip-Hop to Reggae. African-born singer and activist Onejiru lends her voice to many of the pieces,* adding vocals in English,* French and Swahili. For the first time ever,* Sergej Prokovieff’s heirs have authorised an arrangement of his famous ballet work Romeo and Juliet. *“Ballet Jeunesse” was inspired by the ideas,* energy and repertoire of the Ballets Russes company of the early 20th century. *“We’ve all been profoundly impressed by the work and philosophy of the Ballets Russes,*” says Arfmann. *“The radical nature of the company,* the way it broke down barriers between genres and engaged in an artistic and intellectual debate with the musical and philosophical heritage of the time *– everything about it is completely fascinating
