Our Take

In a world full of stale pop tunes and cookie-cutter artists, Britten's Albert Herring is a refreshing burst of originality and talent that will leave you tapping your toes and humming along for days. The City of London SinFhickox bring their A-game to this delightful album, infusing each track with their signature quirky charm and impeccable musicianship.

From the opening notes of "Overture," it's clear that you're in for a wild and whimsical ride through Britten's whimsical world. The SinFhickox masterfully navigate the intricate melodies and complex harmonies of tracks like "Florence's Aria" and "Infernal Dance," effortlessly blending classical elegance with modern flair.

But it's not just the musicianship that sets this album apart - it's the storytelling. Britten's libretto is a witty and satirical take on small-town life, full of colorful characters and hilarious situations. From the uptight Lady Billows to the bumbling Albert Herring himself, each character is brought to life with depth and nuance by the SinFhickox's talented vocalists.

Overall, Britten's Albert Herring is a must-listen for any music lover looking to expand their horizons and experience something truly unique. The City of London SinFhickox have once again proven themselves to be masters of their craft, delivering a standout performance that will leave you grinning from ear to ear. Don't miss out on this gem of an album - it's a real hoot!
