Our Take

Step aside, peasants, and bow down to the regal sounds of Gabriel, McCreesh, and Beale on their latest masterpiece, "An English Coronation. 1902-1953." This album is a royal treat for the ears, taking us on a majestic journey through five decades of British coronations.

Gabrieli's lush orchestration combined with McCreesh's masterful conducting and Beale's commanding vocals create a truly unparalleled listening experience. From the grandeur of Edward VII's coronation in 1902 to the more modern tones of Elizabeth II's in 1953, each track is a beautifully-crafted sonic spectacle.

The album effortlessly transports you to the opulent halls of Westminster Abbey, where you can almost smell the incense and hear the flutter of royal robes. It's like a musical time machine, whisking you away to an era of pomp and circumstance.

While some may scoff at the idea of a coronation-themed album, Gabriel, McCreesh, and Beale have managed to make it not only relevant but downright electrifying. This is music fit for a king or queen – or even just a music nerd with a penchant for historical pageantry.

So, if you're looking to add some sophistication and grandeur to your playlist, look no further than "An English Coronation. 1902-1953." Your ears will thank you, and you'll feel like royalty in no time. Long live the music!
