Our Take

William Shakespeare's sonnets have been reimagined time and time again, but never quite like this. Anthony Quayle brings a fresh twist to these classic poems in his latest album, "William Shakespeare: The Popular Sonnets". Quayle's interpretation of the sonnets is both innovative and entertaining. His use of eclectic instrumentation and quirky production choices make this album a standout in the crowded world of Shakespearean adaptations. From the funky bass lines on Sonnet 18 to the ethereal synths on Sonnet 130, Quayle's musical choices truly bring these poems to life in a way that is both unexpected and delightful. However, there are moments where Quayle's experimentation falls flat. The heavy metal-inspired rendition of Sonnet 29 feels out of place and disrupts the overall flow of the album. Additionally, the spoken word interludes on Sonnets 116 and 129 may leave some listeners scratching their heads. Overall, "William Shakespeare: The Popular Sonnets" is a fun and quirky take on these timeless poems. Quayle's musical talent and unique perspective shine through, making this album a must-listen for both Shakespeare aficionados and music lovers alike. Grab your lute and press play on this one, you won't be disappointed.
