Our Take

London's baroque music scene is in for a treat with Lux et Umbrae's latest release "In Handel's Shadow". This album pays homage to Handel by exploring the vocal music of his rivals in eighteenth-century London.

Featuring stunning performances by Crowe and Fischer, this record is a delightful mix of vibrant, emotional pieces that transport you back to the heyday of London's musical elite. The vocal chemistry between the two artists is undeniable, creating a harmonious blend that is simply mesmerizing.

From the hauntingly beautiful "Night" by Francesco Geminiani to the lively and playful "Hummingbird" by Thomas Arne, each track on this album is a gem in its own right. The diversity of styles and emotions showcased here is a testament to the rich musical landscape of eighteenth-century London.

Lux et Umbrae's attention to detail and historical accuracy is commendable, ensuring that each performance feels authentic and true to the time period. The production quality is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal line coming through crisp and clear.

Overall, "In Handel's Shadow" is a must-listen for any fan of baroque music or classical music in general. Lux et Umbrae, Crowe, and Fischer have truly outdone themselves with this album, delivering a captivating and enchanting musical experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression. Grab your powdered wig and give this record a spin – you won't be disappointed.
