Our Take

Ian Partridge and Len Vorster deliver a whimsical and delightfully eccentric tribute to Lord Berners with their latest album. Lord Berners: Songs / Piano Music is a charming collection that perfectly captures the essence of this enigmatic figure.

Partridge's vocals are expertly matched with Vorster's virtuosic piano playing, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience. From the hauntingly beautiful "Come On, Algernon" to the playful "Polka," the duo showcases a wide range of emotions and styles that demonstrate their musical prowess.

The songs themselves are a mix of melancholy and mirth, reflecting Lord Berners' own complex personality. Each track transports the listener to a bygone era of English eccentricity, where the line between seriousness and silliness is delightfully blurred.

Vorster's piano skills are truly impressive, navigating the intricate melodies and harmonies with precision and grace. His playing brings a sense of intimacy and depth to the music, allowing each piece to shine in its own right.

Overall, Lord Berners: Songs / Piano Music is a delightful homage to a truly unique and underrated composer. Partridge and Vorster's collaboration is a tour de force of musicianship and creativity, showcasing their deep respect and passion for Lord Berners' work. This album is a must-listen for any music lover looking for something out of the ordinary.
