Hamilton

The Australian Voices, known globally for vibrant performances that reflect on contemporary themes, present their tenth album: Reverie. Reverie is a collection of twelve works that bring together themes both banal and transcendent, juxtaposing music that is by turns deeply lyrical and ecstatically ludicrous. A highlight of the album is a setting by the group’s conductor, Gordon Hamilton, of the Elegy – In memoriam Rupert Brooke, written by Australian soldier Frederick Septimus Kelly on the battlefields of Gallipoli and set here to words by Kelly’s close friend Rupert Brooke.

The Munich-based duo is comprised of the New Zealander Hilary Hamilton and the Brit Dave Inker and dates back to 1979. Their biggest success came with the Michael Cretu-produced album "Dancing Into Danger" album. The title track (written by Hubert Kah) stayed 14 weeks on German charts, reaching Top 20.
