Our Take

If Pitchfork were to review this album by HCS / Orchestra of Opera North, they would probably say something like this:

Sir Edward Elgar? More like Sir Edward El-great, am I right? The illustrious composer's work gets the royal treatment in Caractacus, performed by the prestigious Orchestra of Opera North. This album is a musical journey through time and space, taking listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish.

From the grandiose orchestral arrangements to the hauntingly beautiful vocals, every note on this record is executed with precision and flair. Elgar's timeless melodies are brought to life in a way that will make you want to stand up and salute, or maybe just bust out a dramatic air violin solo in your living room.

The Orchestra of Opera North's impeccable performance on this album is nothing short of spectacular. The way they effortlessly weave together complex harmonies and soaring crescendos is a testament to their talent and dedication to the craft of classical music.

So grab a cup of tea, put on your finest monocle, and prepare to be swept off your feet by the sheer brilliance of Sir Edward Elgar: Caractacus. This album is a true masterpiece that deserves a place in every music lover's collection. Cheers to that, old chap!
