Our Take

Simon Callow's collaboration with the New London Chamber Ensemble, Navarra Quartet, and Martin Butler on "Dirty Beasts" is a whimsical journey through the wild world of British English. The album takes inspiration from Roald Dahl's delightfully dark and twisted poems, turning them into playful and inventive musical compositions.

From the opening notes of "The Pig," Callow's narrations are delivered with a mischievous charm that perfectly complements the quirky instrumentation of the ensemble. The Navarra Quartet's string arrangements add depth and richness to the music, while Butler's inventive compositions bring a modern twist to these classic tales.

Tracks like "The Crocodile" and "The Porcupine" showcase the ensemble's ability to switch seamlessly between hauntingly beautiful melodies and energetic, playful rhythms. Callow's storytelling is both captivating and humorous, drawing listeners into Dahl's bizarre and fantastical world.

Overall, "Dirty Beasts" is a delightful and eccentric album that is sure to appeal to fans of both classical music and children's literature. Callow's performance is a highlight, bringing a unique and charismatic presence to the music. With its blend of whimsy and sophistication, this album is a must-listen for anyone looking for a musical adventure unlike any other.
