An ode on the death of Mr. Henry Purcell

"Editor's choice: For many, getting to know these pieces will be persuasion enough, but the performances complete the seduction with their expert playing and singing, vigorous but tastefully realised sense of style and - despite being mostly one-to-a-part - firmly shaped contours and effective illustrative touches ... With a recording that is wonderfully clear and alive, everything seems to be going right for Jonathan Cohen at present".
