Review by Robby Miller

Clair De Lune Greensleeves by The Melachrino Orchestra – A Blast from the Past That Still Hits Alright, let’s get into it. This album, Clair De Lune Greensleeves by The Melachrino Orchestra, isn’t your run-of-the-mill classical record. Nah, this thing has guts, even if it’s dressed up in a tuxedo. Released under His Master’s Voice (you know, that dog-and-gramophone logo), George Melachrino pulls off some real wizardry here as the conductor. It’s got two tracks that stick to your brain like gum on a hot summer day: “Greensleeves” and “Clair De Lune.” And trust me, they’re not just background noise for sipping tea. First up, “Greensleeves.” Man, this version slaps harder than most renditions I’ve heard. You think you’ve heard “Greensleeves” before? Think again. The strings come at you soft at first, almost shy, but then BOOM—it swells into this lush, cinematic wave of sound. Like someone took an old folk tune and gave it a Rolls-Royce makeover. It feels timeless, yeah, but there’s also something kinda raw about how emotional it gets. Makes me wanna grab my coat and walk through misty fields in Ireland or whatever. Yeah, it’s that evocative. Then there’s “Clair De Lune,” which is basically moonlight bottled up and poured straight into your ears. Debussy wrote it originally, sure, but Melachrino owns it here. The pacing is perfection—slow enough to make you feel all introspective, but with these tiny bursts of energy that keep you hooked. There’s this one moment where the violins just soar, and honestly? It gives me goosebumps every damn time. Feels like floating while standing still, ya know? If this track doesn’t stir something deep inside you, check your pulse—you might be dead. What makes this album stand out is its vibe. Classical music can sometimes feel stiff, like sitting through a lecture you didn’t sign up for. But not this. This is alive. It’s dramatic without being pretentious, elegant without trying too hard. Plus, knowing it came outta the UK and Ireland back in the day adds this cool layer of history to it. Like, these cats were making magic when rock ‘n’ roll was barely a twinkle in Elvis’s eye. So, yeah, Clair De Lune Greensleeves punches above its weight. Two tracks, both unforgettable, packed with emotion and skill. It’s wild how such simple melodies can hit so hard. Honestly, listening to this feels like finding an old vinyl in your grandpa’s attic and realizing it’s gold. Or maybe silver, since it’s His Master’s Voice we’re talking about. Here’s the kicker, though—why’d they stop at two tracks? Seriously, what’s the deal with that? They could’ve kept going, made it a full-blown masterpiece. Still, even as a short listen, this album leaves a mark. Guess sometimes less really is more… unless we’re talking snacks. Then gimme all you got.
