PCM 19 - Academy of Ancient Music

Work:: PCM 19 (S0747326415)

Production:: Academy of Ancient Music (T0592989538)

The centrepiece of this recital - continuing our 350th-anniversary celebrations of Purcell's birth - is an affecting tribute to Purcell by his teacher and predecessor as organist of Westminster Abbey, John Blow. It sets Dryden's poem of the same name, which describes how 'the lark and linnet sing' but then fall silent at the appearance of 'the matchless man ... our Orpheus'. A sequence of Purcell's solo songs and keyboard pieces and the deeply moving Evening Hymn complete this mix of mellifluous music.
