Product description

Enchanted Isle casts a contemporary eye on the landscape of rolling hills and green valleys, rugged mountainsides and hidden villages. New arrangements of Scottish and Irish melodies sit alongside compositions set to texts by some of the greatest English poets. Music originally written for film or television is reimagined to create sonorities reminiscent of watercolour landscapes or carefully chiselled sculpture. "The singing of VOCES8 is impeccable in its quality of tone and balance. They bring a new dimension to the word 'ensemble' with meticulous timing and tuning." Gramophone

Excellent soloists and beautiful harmony. Only quibble was the quavery rendition of Carrickfergus

Disappointing release

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2019

Verified Purchase

I have huge respect for the work which VOCES8 have done, and have very much enjoyed their previous releases. Unfortunately, I found this much-anticipated new disc to be disappointing. VOCES8 produce a sublime vocal sound, so it is a shame that this has been hidden behind some over-complex arrangements, additional instrumentation, and what comes across as 'new age' 'effects'. Don't get me wrong, this is a high quality performance, but it's not the VOCES8 we know and love. No choir should be afraid to hide behind the unique sound of its own voices. Let the voices speak for themselves.

Unrecognizable songs

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 March 2019

Verified Purchase

Typical high Voces 8 quality songs, but they've taken it too far. They've taken the heart out of the songs and changed it into one Voces 8 medley. Beautiful songs like May It Be, Theme From Harry's Game, and The Parting Glass are hardly recognizable. Very disappointing from a vocal group with such high quality.

Just Wonderful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 June 2021

I came to Voces8 through their later album, After Silence. Enchanted Isle is a very different soundscape from that album, which is a mix of both classical, secular and modern choral music. Enchanted Isle is unashamedly 'niche' in that it takes on (for the most part) songs already familiar to most listeners; for example Theme from Harry's Game by Clannad is reimagined with wonderful effect. It is a very well-paced album with the opener 'Soay' lulling you into their calming world. 'Carrickfergus' is a joint project with Irish native singer, Sibeal and is gorgeous - Voces8 and she perfectly complementing one another. 'May It Be'is from Lord of the Rings and is simply stunning. I defy anyone to breathe whilst listening to it!! Andrea Haines has wonderful control over her soprano voice. Sje never screeches or leaves you wanting to turn down the volume. Her voice is just perfect for everything she takes on. The Barber needs to be heard through good headphones/earbuds. I listened to it and wanted to send them a fan letter; Barber would be so proud. The album has a few outliers (including the Barber), one of which, The Pyramid Song acts like an earworm; you'll keep hearing it for hours afterwards, perhaps against your wishes. My own personal favourite is 'Let My Love Be Heard'and I highly recommend you find it live in YouTube- you won't be disappointed.

Falls short of their usual brilliance

Voces8 are normally magical but this release falls short of their usual high standard, sadly.

Ok but starting to sound a bit “samey”
Not outstanding unless you are a real fan!
