British Church Composer Series Vol. 6 (The Vivace Singers)

If Pitchfork were an Englishman, it would surely be sipping tea and dissecting the latest in British choral music. Enter VIVACE SINGERS / PARTINGTON / WATTS and their latest installment in the British Church Music Series - 6: Music Of Basil Harwood. From the moment the first note hits your eardrums, you're transported to a grand cathedral where the harmonies soar higher than a teenager's voice crack. Basil Harwood's compositions are like a fine British suit - tailored to perfection and oozing with sophistication. The VIVACE SINGERS, under the direction of the illustrious Paul Spicer, bring a certain je ne sais quoi to these timeless pieces. Their voices blend together like a perfectly brewed cuppa, each singer adding their own unique flavor to the mix. Conductor Owain Arwel Hughes leads the charge with precision and flair, guiding the choir through Harwood's intricate melodies with ease. The result is a sonic tapestry that is both rich and nuanced, like a good Yorkshire pudding. So grab your monocle and top hat, and dive into this album that is as British as the Queen herself. VIVACE SINGERS / PARTINGTON / WATTS have once again proven that when it comes to choral music, the Brits do it best. Cheers, mate!
