Our Take

Upon first listen, the Royal Holloway Choir's rendition of English Romantic Madrigals is like a breath of fresh British air. Steeped in tradition yet with a modern flair, the choir brings a lively energy to these classic compositions.

Lead by director Rupert Gough, the choir's harmonies are tight and precise, delivering each madrigal with a passion that is palpable. From the whimsical "My Bonny Lad" to the haunting "Yonder Comes a Courteous Knight," the singers showcase their versatility and skill.

One standout moment is their rendition of "Now is the Month of Maying," a joyful celebration of spring that is sure to put a smile on your face. The choir's dynamic range is on full display here, with soaring highs and deep lows that build to a crescendo of sound.

Gough's direction is masterful, guiding the choir with a delicate touch that allows each voice to shine while still blending seamlessly together. The result is a cohesive and captivating performance that is a delight to listen to.

In a world of auto-tuned pop stars and manufactured hits, the Royal Holloway Choir reminds us of the power of human voices coming together in perfect harmony. English Romantic Madrigals is a true gem of an album, a testament to the enduring beauty of these timeless compositions. Sit back, relax, and let the music transport you to a bygone era of elegance and grace.
