Purcell:

Hark, how all things

Crown the altar

If music be the food of love

Not all my torments can your pity move, Z400

Plainte: O, Let Me Weep

I attempt from Love's sickness fly

Olinda in the shades unseen, Z404

Urge me no more Z426

Bess of Bedlam

Lovely, lovely Albina

Sweeter than Roses

Dear pretty youth

When first Amintas sued for a kiss

The cares of lovers

Ye gentle spirits of the air

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


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. Excellent recording, if with the voice forward, given striking extra presence on CD.”***Penguin Guide to Compact Discs

"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
