Richard Harvey - Animal Farm

Review by Tereza Soares

Animal Farm is an album by Richard Harvey that showcases his exceptional talent as a composer and multi-instrumentalist. The album features a fusion of classical, folk, and world music, and is inspired by the famous novella of the same name by George Orwell.

The album opens with the track "Animal Farm Overture," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The piece features a grand orchestral arrangement that captures the essence of the story's political themes. The album also features tracks such as "Beasts of England," "The Battle of the Cowshed," and "The Windmill," which are all inspired by key moments in the novella.

Harvey's use of various instruments such as the flute, guitar, and accordion adds depth and texture to the album. The music is expertly arranged and performed, and the listener can feel the emotion and energy in every track.
