Our Take

Holy harpsichord, Emma Kirkby and Anthony Rooley have done it again with their latest classical masterpiece! Kirkby's angelic voice, paired with Rooley's impeccable lute skills, create a dynamic duo that is sure to transport you back to the Renaissance era quicker than you can say "ye olde banger."

From the moment Kirkby's soprano hits your ear drums, you're whisked away on a musical journey that is both enchanting and full of surprises. Rooley's lute accompaniment adds a touch of whimsy to each track, making you feel like you're strolling through the gardens of Versailles or sipping tea with the Queen herself.

The standout tracks on this album are the hauntingly beautiful "Lament for Lachrimae" and the lively "Dowland's Delight," both of which showcase Kirkby's vocal range and Rooley's expert fingerwork on the lute. But don't let these tracks overshadow the rest of the album, as each song is a gem in its own right.

Overall, Kirkby and Rooley's collaboration is a match made in musical heaven. Their seamless blend of vocals and instrumentals will have you hitting replay again and again, wondering how two people can create such magic together. So dim the lights, pour yourself a glass of wine, and let the enchanting sounds of Emma Kirkby and Anthony Rooley sweep you off your feet.
