Our Take

Oh, darling music aficionados, gather round for a delightful romp through the English countryside with the latest album from the exceptionally talented SPENCE / DRAKE / PIATTI QUARTET. Ralph Vaughan Williams' "On Wenlock Edge" is a sonic feast for the ears, blending beautifully haunting melodies with lush harmonies that transport you straight to the rolling hills of Shropshire. The quartet's impeccable musicianship shines through on each track, bringing a sense of elegance and sophistication to Vaughan Williams' timeless compositions.

But wait, there's more! The quartet also tackles Vaughan Williams' "Four Hymns" with grace and poise, delving into the spiritual depths of these sacred pieces with reverence and passion. From the ethereal beauty of "Lord! Come Away!" to the soaring heights of "Father in Heaven, Well-beloved," each hymn is a moving tribute to the composer's profound faith and creativity.

And let's not forget "The House Of Life," a stunning collection of songs that showcases Vaughan Williams' mastery of the art song genre. SPENCE's velvety vocals are a perfect match for the romantic poetry of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, bringing a sense of drama and intensity to each exquisite piece.

In conclusion, SPENCE / DRAKE / PIATTI QUARTET's performance of Ralph Vaughan Williams' "On Wenlock Edge / Four Hymns / The House Of Life" is a true masterpiece, demonstrating not only the quartet's exceptional talent but also the enduring power of Vaughan Williams' music. So grab your finest cup of English breakfast tea, put on your favourite tweed jacket, and prepare to be transported to a world of beauty and wonder. Cheers, darlings!
