Our Take

BIRGIT MINICHMAYR - As An Unperfect Actor - Nine Shakespeare Sonnets

With her latest release, Birgit Minichmayr proves once again that she is not your average actor-turned-singer. As An Unperfect Actor - Nine Shakespeare Sonnets takes the classic words of the Bard himself and transforms them into hauntingly beautiful musical compositions.

Opening track "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" sets the stage for what is to come, with Minichmayr's delicate vocals gliding effortlessly over a lush bed of strings and gentle percussion. It's a bold choice to take on such iconic sonnets, but Minichmayr pulls it off with grace and style.

Each track on the album offers a fresh interpretation of Shakespeare's words, from the melancholy "When I do count the clock that tells the time" to the bittersweet "That time of year thou mayst in me behold." Minichmayr's voice is a perfect match for the emotional depth of the sonnets, adding a new layer of meaning to these centuries-old poems.

As An Unperfect Actor - Nine Shakespeare Sonnets is a truly unique listening experience, showcasing Minichmayr's talent both as a vocalist and a storyteller. This album is a must-listen for any fan of Shakespeare, or anyone looking for a fresh take on the classics.
