Our Take

BOWMANGRITTONKINGS CONSORT brings a delightful twist to Handel's English Arias with their latest album, showcasing a blend of traditional Baroque music and British humor. From the opening notes of "Water Music Suite No. 1 in F Major," you can tell this isn't your average period instrument ensemble.

Lead vocalist, Bowmangritton, has a voice that soars through Handel's intricate melodies with ease, while bringing a touch of quirkiness to the English lyrics. The Kings Consort provides the perfect accompaniment, with lush string sections and lively harpsichord playing that will transport you to the ballrooms of 18th century England (with a modern twist).

Standout tracks include "Zadok the Priest," a majestic ode to the coronation of King George II, and "Lascia ch'io pianga," a haunting lament that showcases the depth of emotion in Handel's music. But it's tracks like "Where'er You Walk" and "Sound an Alarm" where BOWMANGRITTONKINGS CONSORT truly shines, infusing Handel's English Arias with their own unique charm.

Overall, this album is a must-listen for any fan of Baroque music looking for a fresh take on a classic genre. BOWMANGRITTONKINGS CONSORT has truly outdone themselves with this album, blending British wit with Handel's timeless compositions in a way that will leave you tapping your foot and humming along.
