Our Take

If I told you that a classical orchestral album about villains and bad guys could be fun and entertaining, you’d probably think I’d lost the plot. But fear not, because KEVIN SHORT, the ORCHESTRE PHILHARMONIQUE DE MARSEILLE, and conductor LAWRENCE FOSTER have conjured up a devilishly delightful masterpiece with "Mephistopheles And Other Bad Guys."

From the haunting opening notes of Mephistopheles’ theme to the chaotic crescendo of Moriarty’s antics, this album is a rollercoaster ride through the dark side of classical music. Short’s powerful baritone voice brings a sinister charm to each villainous character, while the orchestra provides a dramatic backdrop that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Standout tracks include the menacing "Dracula’s Waltz," where the strings swirl and swoop like bats in the night, and the cheeky "Carmen’s Lament," where Short’s vocals ooze with seductive villainy. But it’s the epic "Jaws of the Dragon" that steals the show, with its thunderous percussion and spine-tingling brass section.

In a world where classical music can sometimes feel stuffy and inaccessible, "Mephistopheles And Other Bad Guys" injects a much-needed dose of mischief and mayhem. So grab your top hat, twirl your moustache, and dive into this devilishly delicious album – just be sure to check under your bed for any lurking bad guys afterwards.
