Our Take

Hold on to your powdered wigs, folks, because James Gilchrist's interpretation of Monteverdi's madrigals is a true rollercoaster of emotions. With a voice smoother than a freshly shaved unicorn and a vibrato that could make even the most stoic of nuns weep, Gilchrist effortlessly transports us back to the golden age of Renaissance music.

From the opening notes of "Zefiro torna," it's clear that Gilchrist is not just singing these madrigals; he's living them. With a level of passion and intensity that would make Romeo and Juliet blush, he brings each word to life, weaving a tapestry of sound that is as intricate as it is mesmerizing.

But don't let the centuries-old melodies fool you - this album is as fresh as a daisy in spring. Gilchrist's playful interpretation of "Oime il bel viso" is a masterclass in musical storytelling, with every trill and crescendo building to a climax that will leave you breathless.

In a world of auto-tuned pop stars and manufactured beats, James Gilchrist is a beacon of authenticity and talent. So grab a glass of wine, settle in by the fire, and let the magic of Monteverdi wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
