Our Take

Diving into the musical depths of REINOUD VAN MECHELEN's latest album, 'Purcell/How Pleasant Tis To Love', it's clear that this Belgian baritone is not your average crooner. Mixing the timeless melodies of Henry Purcell with his own unique twist, Mechelen delivers a refreshing take on classical music that will leave you tapping your toes and scratching your head in equal measure.

From the opening track, it's evident that Mechelen's vocal range is as impressive as his ability to captivate an audience. His rendition of Purcell's "Music For A While" is hauntingly beautiful, with each note dripping with emotion and intensity. It's a performance that grabs you by the ears and refuses to let go.

But Mechelen isn't content to simply regurgitate the classics. He injects his own personality into each track, whether it's through his dynamic phrasing or unexpected twists and turns in the melody. In "O Solitude," his voice soars and dips with a grace that is truly mesmerising, while in "Thy Tuneful Voice," he adds a playful flair that keeps you on your toes.

Overall, 'Purcell/How Pleasant Tis To Love' is a delightful journey through the world of classical music, with Mechelen as your charming guide. It's an album that will leave you feeling both musically satisfied and intellectually stimulated, a rare feat in today's music landscape. So sit back, relax, and let REINOUD VAN MECHELEN serenade you into a place of pure auditory bliss.
