Benjamin Perrot (theorbe & direction) La Rêveuse The civil war that culminated in the decapitation of King CharlesI was a
dark period of English history; yet, in musical terms, the Puritans led by Oliver Cromwell did not do as
much damage as one might have imagined. By prohibiting public music-making in places of workship and
theatres, they contributed to the development of the practice of chamber music between friends in the
home. |

Emma Kirkby (soprano), Richard Campbell (viola da gamba), Catherine Mackintosh (violin) & Anthony Rooley (lute) "The 16 Purcell songs and airs in this recital, some familiar, some rarely heard, are arranged in a pleasing order for continuous listening but, of course, can be selected or re-arranged at the touch of a CD button. Emma Kirkby's pure white tone is a joy throughout, her diction immaculate and her technique equal to all the demands of Purcell's many notes to a word... with nice decorations in repeated passages." - Gramophone | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
