Our Take

Prepare to have your eardrums caressed and your soul lifted to new heights with the latest offering from Holst Singers under the masterful direction of Layton. "Ikon 2" is a sonic journey like no other, weaving intricate harmonies and lush textures that will leave you feeling like you've been transported to a heavenly realm.

The opening track, "Agni Parthene," sets the tone for the album with its ethereal vocals and mesmerising melodies. This is followed by the hauntingly beautiful "Shchedryk," a Ukrainian carol that showcases the choir's impeccable vocal control and emotional depth.

But it's not all serious business with Holst Singers. Tracks like "Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten" and "Magnificat" inject a sense of playfulness and whimsy into the mix, reminding us that choral music can be just as fun and exciting as any pop anthem.

Layton's attention to detail is evident in every note, with each vocal line blending seamlessly into the next to create a truly immersive listening experience. The choir's dynamic range is on full display here, from delicate whispers to powerful crescendos that will send shivers down your spine.

Overall, "Ikon 2" is a masterclass in choral music that showcases the talent and passion of the Holst Singers under the expert guidance of Layton. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let yourself be swept away by the transcendent beauty of this album. Trust us, you won't regret it.
