Our Take

Ah, Kings Consort and Carolyn S serving up some Purcell Royal Odes with a side of British charm. This album is like a piping hot cuppa tea on a rainy day, soothing and comforting.

From the moment you hit play, you're transported to the regal halls of old England. The hauntingly beautiful vocals of Carolyn S are perfectly complemented by the impeccable instrumentation of Kings Consort. It's like you're in the presence of royalty, but without all the stuffy protocol.

Each track on this album is a gem, but standout moments include the majestic "Hail! Bright Cecilia" and the enchanting "Come Ye Sons of Art." The production is top-notch, capturing every nuance of Purcell's intricate compositions.

But what really sets this album apart is the playful quirkiness that Kings Consort and Carolyn S bring to the table. There's a wink and a nod in every note, a cheeky irreverence that keeps you on your toes.

In conclusion, Purcell Royal Odes is a delightful romp through the annals of British music history. Kings Consort and Carolyn S have created a masterpiece that is both sophisticated and fun. So put on your best powdered wig, pour yourself a glass of something fancy, and let the music transport you to a world of beauty and elegance. Cheers, darlings.
