Early One Morning In Kensington: British Flute Music From The Later 19Th Century
[ CD ]

Splendid chaps Gilberto Fornito and Christopher Howell have taken us on a delightful journey back in time to the posh streets of Kensington with their latest album, "Early One Morning In Kensington: British Flute Music From The Later 19th Century." This 19th-century-inspired album is like a cup of Earl Grey tea on a rainy afternoon - soothing, refined, and oh so British. Fornito's flute playing is as smooth as a freshly pressed pair of trousers, with Howell's piano accompaniment adding an extra touch of elegance. Tracks such as "Airs for the Seasons" and "Fantasia on British Sea Songs" transport listeners to a time when monocles and top hats were the height of fashion. The duo's attention to detail and mastery of their respective instruments shine through on every track, making for a truly immersive listening experience. However, this album isn't just all tea and crumpets. Fornito and Howell infuse each track with their own unique flair, giving these classic compositions a fresh twist that will appeal to modern audiences. It's like Downton Abbey meets the 21st century - a perfect blend of old and new. So, grab your finest china, put on your best tweed jacket, and crank up "Early One Morning In Kensington" for a truly British musical experience that's simply spiffing, old chap!
