Our Take

Barry Wordsworth and the Philharmonia Orchestra serve up a delightfully British feast with their latest album, featuring works by none other than Vaughan Williams. The album kicks off with "The Lark Ascending," a soaring masterpiece that truly captures the essence of an English countryside morning. It's like taking a leisurely stroll through fields of wheat, but in musical form.

Next up is "Greensleeves," a timeless classic that has been given the Philharmonia treatment, with sweeping strings and delicate woodwinds that will have you feeling like you've been transported back to a medieval court. It's elegant, it's regal, it's everything you never knew you needed in your life.

Rounding out the album is "Job (A Masque For Dancing)," a dramatic and captivating piece that tells the story of the biblical figure with stunning orchestral arrangements that will leave you on the edge of your seat. It's like watching a blockbuster movie, but without the annoying dialogue.

Overall, Barry Wordsworth and the Philharmonia Orchestra have truly outdone themselves with this album. It's a musical journey through the English countryside, a royal court, and a biblical tale all rolled into one. So grab a cup of tea, put on your smoking jacket, and prepare to be transported to a world of classical excellence. Cheers, mate!
