Our Take

Album Review: BRUNEL ENSEMBLE Saxtonin

In a world full of bland, cookie-cutter orchestral albums, BRUNEL ENSEMBLE's "Saxtonin" stands out like a neon pink flamingo in a sea of pigeons. This album is a vibrant, eclectic mix of genres and styles that somehow all come together to create a surprisingly cohesive and enjoyable listening experience.

From the opening track "Saxtonin Symphony No. 1" to the hauntingly beautiful "Saxtonin Sonata for Saxophone and Strings," every song on this album is a rollercoaster of emotions. It's like being on a musical journey through a psychedelic kaleidoscope, with unexpected twists and turns around every corner.

The musicianship on "Saxtonin" is top-notch, with each member of the BRUNEL ENSEMBLE bringing their A-game to every performance. The saxophone solos are particularly impressive, with each note dripping with emotion and feeling like it's being played straight from the heart.

If you're tired of the same old classical music and looking for something a bit more exciting and innovative, then "Saxtonin" is the album for you. It's a wild ride from start to finish, and one that you'll want to experience again and again. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
