Our Take

Kris Defoort's "The Time Of Our Singing" is a delightful rollercoaster ride of musical mastery, conducted by the talented Kwame Ryan and featuring an all-star cast including Claron McFadden, Mark S. Doss, Simon Bailey, and Levy Sekgapane. The La Monnaie Chamber Orchestra provides the perfect backdrop for this magical journey, with their impeccable harmonies and orchestral finesse.

McFadden's vocals soar to incredible heights, effortlessly gliding through the intricate melodies with grace and precision. Doss brings a rich, velvety tone to the mix, adding depth and warmth to each note. Bailey and Sekgapane shine in their respective roles, showcasing their versatility and charisma on every track.

The Children's and Youth Choir of La Monnaie add an extra layer of sweetness and innocence to the mix, their angelic voices blending seamlessly with the rest of the ensemble. Benoit Giaux's expert direction ensures that every note is perfectly in sync, creating a symphony of sound that is truly mesmerising.

Defoort's composition is a work of art, weaving together elements of classical, jazz, and contemporary music to create a tapestry of sound that is both innovative and timeless. "The Time Of Our Singing" is a must-listen for any music lover looking for something truly special. Sit back, relax, and let the music take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
