Our Take

Ah, the Britten Canticles. What can be said about this masterpiece that hasn't already been said a million times before? The answer is, nothing. But who cares? I'm here to give you my take on this iconic album, and let me tell you, it's a wild ride from start to finish.

From the haunting vocals of Norman to the intricate instrumentation of Gould and MacLean, this album is a sonic journey like no other. The Canticles themselves are a series of compositions that showcase the genius of Benjamin Britten, and this trio does them justice and then some.

Norman's vocals are nothing short of mesmerizing. The way she effortlessly transitions from delicate whispers to powerful crescendos is a true testament to her talent. And let's not forget Gould's masterful piano skills and MacLean's impeccable timing on the drums. These three truly are a match made in musical heaven.

But what really sets this album apart is the chemistry between the three artists. You can feel the camaraderie and respect they have for each other in every note they play. It's rare to find such a seamless collaboration in music these days, and it's truly a joy to witness.

Overall, the Britten Canticles is a must-listen for any music lover. It's a bold, experimental work that pushes the boundaries of what classical music can be. So do yourself a favor and give it a spin. You won't be disappointed.
