A Purcell Songbook
Emma Kirkby
The 16 Purcell songs and airs in this recital, some familiar, some rarely heard, are arranged in a pleasing order for continuous listening. 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. Decca. 2005.
