Our Take

Angelika Kirchschlager & Maurice Lammerts van Bueren's latest offering, "The Moon's A Gong / Hung In The Wild: Songs By Jake Heggie," is a whimsical journey through the enchanting world of composer Jake Heggie.

From the moment the ethereal vocals of Kirchschlager grace your ears, you can't help but be captivated by the sheer beauty and emotion that she brings to each track. With van Bueren's skillful piano accompaniment, the duo creates a magical atmosphere that transports listeners to another realm.

Heggie's haunting melodies and poetic lyrics are brought to life in a way that is truly mesmerising. From the dreamy "The Moon's A Gong" to the haunting "Hung In The Wild," each song on the album is a masterpiece in its own right.

Kirchschlager's voice is pure and angelic, with a depth and richness that is truly awe-inspiring. She effortlessly navigates the emotional highs and lows of each song, drawing listeners in with her raw and authentic delivery.

Van Bueren's piano playing is the perfect complement to Kirchschlager's vocals, adding a dynamic and textured layer to the music that elevates the overall listening experience.

"The Moon's A Gong / Hung In The Wild: Songs By Jake Heggie" is a triumph of artistry and talent, showcasing the incredible chemistry between Kirchschlager and van Bueren. An absolute must-listen for fans of classical music and beyond.
