Awards and reviews

4th June 2015

The new arrangements explore the majesty of the melodies, ranging from gentle beauty to the symphonic equivalent of speaker-busting raw power. Alfie Boe taking Roger Daltrey’s vocal role might raise some eyebrows, but the tenor inhabits the songs with a different, controlled intensity. Townshend himself roars through The Punk and the Godfather, and there are some lovely curveballs, with massed choirs on 5.15 and Bell Boy.
