Our Take

Christopher Maltman and Joseph Middleton's latest release, "The Soldier: From Severn to Somme," is a haunting and poignant exploration of the impact of war on the human soul. Maltman's rich baritone voice floats effortlessly over Middleton's delicate piano accompaniment, creating a mesmerizing blend of beauty and sadness.

The album opens with a stunning rendition of George Butterworth's "Six Songs from A Shropshire Lad," setting the tone for the rest of the collection. Maltman's emotive delivery brings each song to life, capturing the heartbreak and longing of a soldier far from home.

As the album progresses, Maltman and Middleton delve deeper into the emotional landscape of war, with songs like Ivor Gurney's "In Flanders" and Ralph Vaughan Williams' "Songs of Travel" painting a vivid picture of the horrors faced by those on the front lines. Middleton's masterful piano playing provides the perfect backdrop for Maltman's powerful vocals, creating a sense of intimacy and intensity that is truly mesmerizing.

Overall, "The Soldier: From Severn to Somme" is a stunning and evocative tribute to the soldiers who sacrificed so much for their countries. Maltman and Middleton have crafted a truly moving and unforgettable musical experience that will stay with listeners long after the final notes fade away.
