Our Take

Vincent Dumestre and his band of merry musical misfits, also known as Le Poème Harmonique, have just dropped "Son of England," a delightful romp through the works of English composers Jeremiah Clarke and Purcell. This album is a sonic time machine, whisking us back to the Baroque era faster than you can say "God Save the Queen."

Dumestre's intricate arrangements and expert musicianship bring new life to Clarke and Purcell's compositions, allowing the listener to truly appreciate the beauty and complexity of their music. From the hauntingly beautiful melodies of "Trumpet Voluntary" to the lively dance numbers of "King Arthur," this album is a treasure trove of musical gems.

The standout track has to be "Hallelujah" from Purcell's "Come Ye Sons of Art." The soaring vocals and majestic instrumentation will give you chills and have you singing along in no time. Dumestre and his ensemble truly do justice to these timeless classics, turning them into modern masterpieces.

So, if you're in the mood for some toe-tapping, heart-wrenching, soul-stirring music, look no further than "Son of England." Vincent Dumestre and Le Poème Harmonique have crafted a true masterpiece that will have you coming back for more. Trust us, this album is so good, it'll make you want to break out your powdered wig and dance like it's 1699. Cheers to that, old chap!
