Purcell Songs

Composer(s):
  • Henry Purcell (1659-1695)

… a well-chosen, superbly sung anthology of Henry Purcell’s theatrical and sacred music … Andrew Dalton has a splendid voice: rich, bell-like and pure with a firm top … refreshingly free of the misplaced preciousness that sometimes is erroneously thought to be typical of “authentic” style. Sounds and surfaces are exemplary … notes informative … A lovely disc. Fanfare
