Our Take

Anthony Hammond's latest album, "Improvisations For The Church Year", is a whimsical journey through the liturgical calendar that will have you tapping your feet and saying a Hail Mary all at once. The renowned organist showcases his virtuosity on the majestic Organ of St. Mary Redcliffe, filling the sacred space with an array of sounds that range from hauntingly beautiful to downright funky.

From the moment you press play, you are transported to a world where Sunday mass is the hottest ticket in town. Hammond's improvisational skills are on full display as he weaves intricate melodies and harmonies that pay homage to the musical traditions of the church while also pushing boundaries and breaking new ground.

Tracks like "Easter Jubilation" burst with joy and exuberance, while "Advent Lament" tugs at the heartstrings with its melancholic beauty. Hammond effortlessly transitions from one mood to the next, leaving listeners on the edge of their pews, eager to see where he will take them next.

Overall, "Improvisations For The Church Year" is a delightful listen that showcases Hammond's undeniable talent and creativity. Whether you are a devout churchgoer or a secular music lover, this album is sure to inspire and uplift. Praise be to Hammond for blessing us with such a divine musical experience.
