The Passion of Joan of Arc, the latest album by Goldston Baker Belfi, is a stunning masterpiece that delves deep into the life and struggles of the legendary French heroine. The album's haunting melodies and intricate arrangements create a powerful and emotive experience that transports listeners to the heart of Joan's story.
The album's opening track, "Trial by Fire," sets the tone for the rest of the album, with its haunting vocals and driving percussion. From there, the album takes listeners on a journey through Joan's life, exploring her battles, her faith, and her ultimate demise.
Baker's cello playing is particularly noteworthy, adding depth and richness to the album's sound. Belfi's percussion work is also exceptional, providing a driving beat that propels the music forward.
Despite the album's dark subject matter, there is a sense of hope and resilience that runs throughout. This is perhaps best exemplified in the album's final track, "Rising from the Ashes," which speaks to the enduring legacy of Joan of Arc and the power of her story to inspire and uplift.
