Our Take

Under the expert direction of Robert King, the latest offering from King's Consort, "Purcell: Hail Bright Cecilia," is a delightful romp through the musical mastery of Henry Purcell. This album is like a refreshing cup of English Breakfast tea on a rainy afternoon - comforting, familiar, and just the right amount of quirky.

From the moment you press play, you are transported back to the Baroque era, with the rich sounds of period instruments and the ethereal voices of the choir washing over you like a warm embrace. It's like being serenaded by angels in a 17th-century cathedral, but with a modern twist.

The standout track on this album has to be the titular "Hail Bright Cecilia," a jubilant ode to the patron saint of music that will have you tapping your feet and humming along in no time. The way King's Consort brings this piece to life is nothing short of magical, with each instrument and voice blending seamlessly together to create a truly enchanting listening experience.

Overall, "Purcell: Hail Bright Cecilia" is a triumph of classical music that will appeal to both purists and newcomers alike. So grab yourself a cuppa, sit back, and let the soothing sounds of King's Consort and Robert King wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
