Purcell: Music for a while & O Solitude


Purcell:

Music for a while, Z583

O Solitude

The Plaint

If music be the food of love

I attempt from Love's sickness fly

Fairest Isle

Sweeter than Roses

Not all my torments can your pity move, Z400

Thrice happy lovers (An Epithalamium)

An Evening Hymn 'Now that the sun hath veiled his light', Z193

From Rosy Bowers (From Don Quixote)

O lead me to some peaceful gloom

The History of King Richard the Second or The Sicilian Usurper: Retir'd from any mortal's sight, Z581

Since from my dear Astrea's sight


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." Gramophone
