Our Take

The Iain Sutherland Concert Orchestra's latest offering, "Sailing By - 25 British Light Classics," is a whimsical journey through the world of British nostalgia. This album is like taking a sip of a warm cup of English breakfast tea while sailing down the Thames on a sunny afternoon.

From the gentle swells of "Moon River" to the jaunty rhythms of "The Dam Busters March," Sutherland and his orchestra expertly capture the essence of classic British tunes. Each track is lovingly crafted with lush arrangements and impeccable attention to detail, making for a truly delightful listening experience.

The album opens with the timeless "Greensleeves," a wistful ode to the English countryside that sets the tone for the rest of the collection. As the orchestra navigates through favourites like "Land of Hope and Glory" and "Rule Britannia," you can't help but feel a swell of patriotic pride wash over you.

But it's not all pomp and circumstance on "Sailing By." Tracks like "Penny Lane" and "A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square" add a touch of whimsy and charm to the mix, balancing out the more grandiose numbers with their playful melodies and light-hearted spirit.

In conclusion, "Sailing By - 25 British Light Classics" is a delightful romp through the heart of British musical heritage. So grab your Union Jack flag and prepare to set sail on a musical adventure like no other. Cheers, old chaps!
