Our Take

EMMA MATTHEWS & MELBOURNE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA - "AGONY AND ECSTASY"

In a world where classical music meets contemporary sensibilities, Emma Matthews and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra deliver a delightful, yet at times perplexing, album that takes listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions. From the hauntingly beautiful "Agony" to the jubilant "Ecstasy," this album is a musical journey unlike any other.

Matthews' soaring vocals paired with the lush orchestral arrangements create a sonic landscape that is both enchanting and exhilarating. The opening track, "Agony," sets the tone for the album with its haunting melody and poignant lyrics that tug at the heartstrings. As the album progresses, listeners are treated to a mix of emotional highs and lows that keep them on the edge of their seats.

While the album's concept is ambitious and commendable, there are moments where the execution falls short. Some tracks feel disjointed and lack the cohesion needed to fully immerse the listener in the experience. However, these missteps are overshadowed by the sheer talent and creativity on display throughout the album.

Overall, "Agony And Ecstasy" is a bold and ambitious project that showcases the undeniable talent of Emma Matthews and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. While not without its flaws, this album is a testament to the power of music to evoke raw emotions and take listeners on a journey they won't soon forget.
