Our Take

James Oneal and Phil So Hamburg team up to tackle Alexander Zemlinsky's intriguing opera "Der Konig Kandaules (King Candaules)" with the finesse of a seasoned wine connoisseur sampling a rare vintage.

From the opening overture, it's clear that this duo has a deep understanding and appreciation for the complexities of Zemlinsky's work. The rich orchestration and lush harmonies are brought to life with precision and passion, creating a sonic tapestry that is both haunting and exhilarating.

Oneal's soaring tenor vocals are a joy to behold, effortlessly gliding through the intricate melodies with an emotional depth that is truly captivating. Meanwhile, So Hamburg's masterful command of the orchestra brings a sense of grandeur and drama to the production, elevating it to new heights.

But what truly sets this album apart is the chemistry between Oneal and So Hamburg. Their collaboration is seamless, with each artist complementing the other in a way that is truly magical. Together, they breathe new life into Zemlinsky's timeless masterpiece, creating a listening experience that is nothing short of transcendent.

In a world where cookie-cutter pop dominates the airwaves, James Oneal and Phil So Hamburg's "Der Konig Kandaules (King Candaules)" offers a much-needed breath of fresh air. This is a must-listen for any music aficionado looking to expand their horizons and experience something truly special.
