Our Take

Review:

Choir of Westminster Abbey's rendition of Handel's "Zadok The Priest" is a glorious auditory feast fit for a king - or at least a particularly regal squirrel. The bombastic choral arrangements and powerful vocals transport you straight to the throne room, where you can almost picture Handel himself conducting from a golden pedestal.

From the majestic opening chords to the triumphant finale, this album is a masterclass in musical grandeur. The choir's impeccable precision and rich harmonies are nothing short of awe-inspiring, making you feel like you're being enveloped in a warm, majestic hug. You may even find yourself instinctively donning a crown and demanding your subjects bring you grapes.

But it's not all serious business with Choir of Westminster. They inject just the right amount of playful charm and cheekiness into their performance, adding a touch of whimsy to the regal proceedings. You can almost hear the wink and nod in every note, as if they're saying, "Yes, we're singing about ancient kings and kingdoms, but let's not take ourselves too seriously, shall we?"

Overall, Choir of Westminster's take on Handel's classic anthem is a delightful reminder that music can be both majestic and mischievous. So go ahead, put on your fanciest robe, crank up the volume, and let yourself be transported to a world where even squirrels can be royalty. You won't be disappointed.
