Our Take

Ah, the Iain Sutherland Concert Orchestra, a delightful ensemble bringing us the 20 British Light Classics that make up "The Merrymakers." This album is a whimsical journey through the best of British music, with a touch of cheeky charm and a generous dollop of nostalgia.

From the jaunty melodies of Eric Coates to the playful compositions of Haydn Wood, each track on "The Merrymakers" is a toe-tapping delight. Sutherland and his orchestra bring these classics to life with precision and flair, injecting each piece with a fresh sense of vitality that will have you tapping your feet and humming along in no time.

Standout tracks include the effervescent "In Party Mood" by Robert Strutt and the elegant "Mood Mosaic" by Vivian Ellis, both of which showcase the orchestra's impeccable musicianship and Sutherland's deft hand at the conductor's podium.

But it's not all just fun and games on "The Merrymakers." The album also showcases the orchestra's versatility with more subdued and emotive pieces such as "In a Monastery Garden" by Albert Ketelbey, proving that they can tug at our heartstrings just as easily as they can make us smile.

Overall, "The Merrymakers" is a delightful romp through the best of British light classical music, brought to life with style and panache by the Iain Sutherland Concert Orchestra. So sit back, relax, and let the music transport you to a bygone era of elegance and charm. Cheers!
