Our Take

Fancy a spot of British choral bliss, old chap? Look no further than this delightful collaboration between the Royal College of Music Chamber Choir and the legendary conductor Sir David Willcocks.

The album kicks off with Holst's "A Choral Fantasia," a sparkling gem that showcases the choir's impeccable precision and dynamic range. Willcocks expertly navigates the lush harmonies and intricate textures with his trademark flair, eliciting spine-tingling moments that will leave you craving more.

But wait, there's more! The ensemble's rendition of "Two Psalms" is a revelation, with each voice blending seamlessly to create a rich tapestry of sound. Willcocks brings out the emotional depth of these sacred texts, imbuing them with a sense of transcendent beauty that is truly spellbinding.

And let's not forget the pièce de résistance, Holst's "Nunc Dimittis." The choir's ethereal vocals soar to heavenly heights as Willcocks leads them through this breathtaking masterpiece with grace and finesse. It's a sonic journey that will transport you to a realm of pure sonic ecstasy.

In conclusion, this album is a must-listen for any aficionado of British choral music. With Willcocks at the helm and the Royal College of Music Chamber Choir in top form, it's a match made in musical heaven. So pop on your finest tweed, pour yourself a cuppa, and immerse yourself in the sublime sounds of RPO / DAVID WILLCOCKS / ROYAL COLLEGE OF MUSIC CHAMBER CHOIR Sir David Willcocks Conducts Holstin British English. Cheers, mates!
