Our Take

Andrew Watts and Iain Burnside team up to bring us "A Countertenor Songbook," a delightful and unexpected gem in the world of classical music. Watts, known for his ethereal voice and impeccable technique, shines on this album, showcasing his range and versatility in a variety of pieces.

The album kicks off with Henry Purcell's haunting "O Solitude" and immediately sets the tone for what's to come. Watts navigates the intricate melodies with ease, bringing a sense of emotional depth to each track. Burnside's piano accompaniment is equally impressive, providing a beautiful backdrop for Watts' soaring vocals.

Highlights include Handel's "Where'er You Walk" and Britten's "How Beautiful It is to Love." Watts truly shines on these tracks, displaying his mastery of both the Baroque and modern repertoire. The chemistry between Watts and Burnside is palpable, making for a truly memorable listening experience.

While "A Countertenor Songbook" may not be everyone's cup of tea, those willing to give it a chance will be rewarded with a unique and captivating musical journey. Watts and Burnside have crafted a beautiful album that showcases the power and beauty of the countertenor voice. So sit back, relax, and let the music wash over you - you won't be disappointed.
