| |  | Purcell: Music for a while & O Solitude
Alfred Deller Wieland Kuijken, William Christie "The present record contains 13 of Purcell's most celebrated songs, each one of which is sung with intense feeling and, one feels, a familiarity with the music that only time can bring...[Deller] brings vivid characterization to every one of these pieces... No better example of his extraordinary sensibility is to be found than in his singing of Fairest Isle, without a doubt the loveliest performance of this song that I have ever heard....a fine and memorable recital by a great artist."

Emma Kirkby, Anthony Rooley, Christopher Hogwood, Richard Campbell & Catherine Mackintosh Christopher Hogwood “The Evening Hymn is radiantly done, and so are many of the less well-known airs which regularly bring new revelation.

| |  | Emma Kirkby - A Purcell Songbook
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. |
