Our Take

Afternoon, chaps and chapettes! Today, we have the pleasure of diving into the latest offering from the St Louis Symphonic Orchestra under the baton of maestro Leonard Slatkin. In this double dose of French flair and Norwegian nostalgia, Bizet's classic opera "Carmen" and Grieg's iconic "Peer Gynt" suites get the royal treatment they deserve.

First up, Bizet's "Carmen" is a fiery tour de force, as Slatkin and the orchestra bring the sultry streets of Seville to life with passion and panache. From the famous "Habanera" to the heart-wrenching "Toreador Song," the orchestra shines bright like a diamond, capturing the drama and intensity of this timeless tale of love and tragedy.

And then, we venture into the whimsical world of Grieg's "Peer Gynt" suites, where the orchestra paints a vivid picture of the mischievous Peer and his adventures in the Norwegian mountains. From the soaring melodies of "Morning Mood" to the playful antics of "In the Hall of the Mountain King," Slatkin and his musicians deliver a performance that is both enchanting and exhilarating.

Overall, this album is a must-listen for any classical music aficionado looking for a fresh take on two beloved masterpieces. So grab your monocle and top hat, dear readers, and let the St Louis Symphony Orchestra take you on a musical journey like no other. Cheers!
