Our Take

ALAMIRE's latest offering, "William Byrd: The Great Service & English Anthems," is a delightful romp through the world of Renaissance choral music. With His Majestys Sagbutts & Cornetts providing the perfect brass accompaniment, this album is a true auditory feast.

Director David Skinner's impeccable guidance shines through in every track, with each note crisply delivered and expertly balanced. Stephen Farr's organ playing adds a sense of grandeur to the proceedings, elevating Byrd's already majestic compositions to new heights.

The Great Service is a true highlight of the album, with its soaring vocal harmonies and intricate counterpoint leaving listeners spellbound. The English Anthems are equally stirring, showcasing Byrd's mastery of the form and his ability to evoke a wide range of emotions through his music.

ALAMIRE's performance is flawless, with every voice blending seamlessly together to create a rich tapestry of sound. This album is a must-listen for any fan of early music, or anyone looking to expand their musical horizons.

In conclusion, "William Byrd: The Great Service & English Anthems" is a triumph of musicality and artistry. ALAMIRE and their talented collaborators have crafted a truly special recording that deserves to be heard by music lovers everywhere.
