Our Take
Our Take
The Choir of Merton College, Oxford, under the direction of Benjamin Nicholas, has teamed up with the Britten Sinfonia to deliver a stunning collection of British orchestral anthems. From the soaring grandeur of Elgar to the pastoral beauty of Finzi, this album is a must-listen for fans of choral music.
Nicholas and his talented ensemble bring a fresh, dynamic energy to these classic works, breathing new life into pieces that have been performed countless times before. The precision and passion with which they tackle each composition is truly a sight to behold.
The standout track on the album has to be Dyson's stirring "In Honour of the City", a powerful ode to the resilience and spirit of the British people. The choir's vocals soar above the lush orchestral accompaniment, creating a sense of awe and majesty that is truly awe-inspiring.
But it's not all serious business on this album – Howells' "A Hymn for St. Cecilia" injects a touch of playfulness and whimsy into the mix, with the choir's joyous harmonies dancing gleefully alongside the Sinfonia's sprightly accompaniment.
Overall, Orchestral Anthems is a triumph of musicality and skill, showcasing the best of British choral and orchestral music. Nicholas and the Choir of Merton College have truly outdone themselves with this album, and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us next. A must-listen for any music lover.
