Linn CKD 041
This is the alternative Purcell disc: recorded during his anniversary year
in 1995, it presents a view of England in the later seventeenth century, with
works by Locke, Blow, Butler, Weldon, and Nicola Matteis, and no Purcell in
sight!
If you are not already aware of the high quality of the instrumental playing,
stylish musicality, imaginative approach and oneness of the Palladian Ensemble,
this disc provides as good an opportunity as any to find out what you have been
missing.
