Our Take

Van Rensburg and Lautten Compagny’s latest offering, "Songs of an English Cavalier," is a delightful romp through the highlands and lowlands of baroque music. This album is a whimsical journey that blends traditional English folk tunes with intricate orchestration, creating a tapestry of sound that is both nostalgic and innovative.

From the moment the opening notes of "The Green Groves of Erin" grace your ears, you are transported to a time when gallant knights roamed the countryside and fair maidens danced in meadows. The haunting vocals of Van Rensburg weave effortlessly through the lush arrangements provided by Lautten Compagny, creating a harmonious blend of old and new.

Standout tracks include the jaunty "The Bold Grenadier" and the soul-stirring "The Cuckoo," each showcasing the exceptional talent of both the musicians and the vocalist. The production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument shining brightly in the mix and the vocals soaring above the intricate melodies.

Overall, "Songs of an English Cavalier" is a must-listen for fans of early music and baroque enthusiasts alike. Van Rensburg and Lautten Compagny have crafted a truly unique and engaging listening experience that will leave you tapping your toes and humming along for days to come. So grab your feathered hat and lace up your corset, because this album is a rollicking good time from start to finish. Bravissimo!
