Discover the hauntingly beautiful sounds of Scala & Kolacny Brothers with their acclaimed 2004 release, "Respire." This Belgian choir, conducted by Stijn Kolacny and accompanied by Steven Kolacny on piano, gained international fame for their ethereal reinterpretations of modern classics. Respire is a masterclass in atmospheric choral music, stripping back the production of well-known hits to reveal their raw emotional core.

The album features breathtaking covers that have become synonymous with the Scala sound. From the delicate and melancholic rendition of "With or Without You" (U2) to the hauntingly fragile version of "Enjoy the Silence" (Depeche Mode), the arrangements are minimalist yet powerful. The album also features French-language gems like the title track "Respire" (originally by Mickey 3D), showcasing the choir's ability to blend linguistic elegance with their signature "indie-choir" aesthetic.
