Voces8/Les Inventions: A Purcell Collection

Opis

Voces8/Les Inventions: A Purcell CollectionOpis:Product DescriptionThe young, virtuoso a cappella ensemble VOCES8 return to disc on Signum with a sumptuous collection of early works by Henry Purcell, one of England s greatest composers. Joined by the specialist early music ensemble Les Inventions , the group explores Purcell s astoundingly diverse output. There is hardly a genre in which he did not express himself: anthems, odes, funeral music, semi--operas, masques, sonatas, consort--music, songs and catches populate his extraordinarily multifaceted oeuvre. It is this astonishing diversity that Signum and VOCES8 celebrate.

Review'Those of a curious disposition would be well advised here. If you enjoyed Eventide from Voces8 then certainly give this a try.' --Classic FM 'Choice for the CuriousThe results are poised and beautiful with some simply fabulous singing. --Planet Hugill'... There is no doubting that this disc still offers a rich and enjoyable demonstration of Purcell s genius.' --GramophoneEven if you have most of Purcell's music on disc in your collection you should not miss this 'sampler'. It includes some of the finest performances I have heard in recent years. --Music Web International Review (Disc of the Week)**** '... most agreeable, with many moments to savour along the way. The performances at times touch excellence ... Voces 8 are at their best in more homophonic music, producing admirably balanced performances of considerable breadth and richness in the anthem Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem, Z.46 ... and Behold, O Mightiest of Gods from Dioclesian ... an ideal introduction into at least part of his [Purcell s] world.' --Brian Robins, Early Music Today, September November 2014Even if you have most of Purcell's music on disc in your collection you should not miss this 'sampler'. It includes some of the finest performances I have heard in recent years. --Music Web International Review (Disc of the Week)Autor:Voces8Nośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: English: Published; EnglishData wydania: 2014-04-07Waga: 0.23 gramWysokość: 0.5 cmSzerokość: 4.8 cmDługość: 5.6 cmNew Store StockUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
