Our Take

It's not every day you come across an album where the conductor and composer share the same last name. But leave it to the Hansons to turn the classical music world on its head with "Hanson Conducts Hanson."

From the very first note, it's clear that Howard Hanson has a deep understanding of his own compositions. The way he delicately weaves through the intricate melodies and harmonies is nothing short of mesmerising. It's as if he's conducting a conversation between himself and the orchestra, each instrument adding its own unique voice to the mix.

The standout track has to be "Symphony No. 2." Hanson's masterful control of dynamics and pacing creates a rollercoaster of emotions that keep you on the edge of your seat throughout. The lush orchestration and rich textures make you feel like you're being transported to another world entirely.

But it's not all serious business with the Hansons. The album also features a cheeky little encore in the form of "Merry Mount Suite." This lively piece is a breath of fresh air, with its jaunty rhythms and playful melodies bringing a smile to your face.

Overall, "Hanson Conducts Hanson" is a delightful romp through the world of classical music. Howard Hanson's expertise shines through in every note, creating a truly unique listening experience that is not to be missed. So sit back, relax, and let the Hansons take you on a whimsical journey through their musical wizardry.
