Our Take

Ah, the golden age of contraltos and mezzos, where the voices were as rich and soulful as a warm cuppa on a rainy day. Various Artists have compiled a stunning collection of tracks that will have you swaying and snapping your fingers in delight.

From the haunting depths of Shirley Bassey's vocals to the powerful presence of Kathleen Ferrier, this album is a treasure trove of talent. Each track is a journey through time, showcasing the incredible range and emotion of these legendary singers.

Standout tracks include Bassey's sultry rendition of "Goldfinger" and Ferrier's spine-tingling performance of "Ombra mai fu." These women were true pioneers in their field, paving the way for future generations of contraltos and mezzos to shine.

The production quality on this album is top-notch, allowing each voice to shine through without being overpowered by the instrumentation. The arrangements are lush and vibrant, perfectly complementing the raw power of these incredible singers.

So grab yourself a cocktail, settle in with a good pair of headphones, and let the golden age of contraltos and mezzos sweep you off your feet. This album is a must-listen for any music lover craving some soul-stirring vocals and timeless classics. Don't miss out on this gem of a compilation.
