Our Take

Claire Booth and Christopher Glynn take us on a whimsical journey through the enchanting world of Percy Grainger's Folk Music. Known for his eccentricity and knack for collecting and rearranging traditional tunes, Grainger's influence shines brightly on this album.

Booth's vocals are ethereal and captivating, effortlessly floating over Glynn's delicate piano accompaniment. Their chemistry is undeniable, creating a seamless blend of haunting melodies and intricate harmonies.

From the lively jig of "The Sussex Mummers' Christmas Carol" to the poignant beauty of "The Sprig of Thyme," each track showcases Grainger's unparalleled talent for reimagining folk music in a fresh and innovative way. It's impossible not to be swept away by the sheer beauty and complexity of his arrangements.

But what truly sets this album apart is the sense of playfulness and joy that infuses every note. Booth and Glynn bring a sense of whimsy and charm to Grainger's compositions, making them feel alive and vibrant.

In a world filled with cookie-cutter pop songs and formulaic arrangements, Claire Booth and Christopher Glynn offer a refreshing and authentic take on traditional folk music. Percy Grainger would be proud.
