"The present generation of countertenors is outstanding, and on a new collection called Elegy (Vivat), Iestyn Davies and newcomer James Hall partner in famous duets by Purcell and John Blow ... Davies and Hall bring a chamber-music intensity to Blow's sublime elegy on Purcell's death, though nothing on the disc quite beats the spine-tingling last bars of Purcell's duet O dive custos. Davies adds some solos, but though we're told who plays which recorder, it is oddly not revealed exactly who sings what".
