Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Nice Collection.......2007-03-05

I have many collections of Purcell's Music. This collection stands up to them at half the price. Solid buy.

5 out of 5 stars PERFECT!.......2006-10-26

There is only a word with which I can describe this set of discs: perfect!
The only flaw there is, is not related to the singing or playing: no text enclosed.

5 out of 5 stars Great singing and excellent value for money.......2004-09-19

This is probably one of the best anthologies of Purcell songs around, and not just because it's two-for-one pricing means it contains twice as much music (CD1:74'24" & CD2: 77'41")! Nancy Argenta has an irrepressible sense of style and crystal clear diction. But unlike Emma Kirby, whose vocal purity can become tiresome, these renditions radiate warmth. She is also, I have found, more consistently involving than any one of the singers in Hyperion's three disc survey of Complete Secular Songs (recently reissued as a single set). One marvels at how she judiciously balances restraint and emotional forthrightness. The accompaniments (archlute, viola da gamba, harpsichord, and organ) are well judged and blend with the voice, all helped by an excellently defined recording acoustic. This is an absolute winner at any price!

5 out of 5 stars More than two hours of beautiful 17th century 'ayres'.......2001-08-02

Two CDs, totaling more than 150 minutes of sparsely-arranged (never more than 3-5 instruments at a time), sweetly-sung, 350 year old 'ayres' (a typically English form of secular music). Nancy Argenta's soprano voice is lovely, silvery indeed as her name implies. The instruments are a discreet but friendly accompaniment to her solo voice. Perhaps the instruments are a little too discreet -- there are times when I wish they were a touch more prominent. But that is a very, very minor complaint. A beautiful collection, and quite well worth the money.

      This is an inspirational CD, collecting some of Rev. Graham's sermons and heartwarming music from his many years of service to the Lord. Who can resist Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art, The Lord's Prayer, Just As I Am, and others - they bring tears to the eyes and lump to the throat.

            5 out of 5 stars A Pretty Darn Good Lohengrin.......2005-04-14

            I got this Lohengrin from the local library, and I tried to get a taste of what I was in for by looking it up here on Amazon.com. But to my dismay there were no reviews. And later, to even greater dismay on my part, I found that there is no reason for such a lack of reviews! For this is a solid Lohengrin. While Peter Hofmann is not the most vocally resplendent Lohengrin (he isn't a Konya or a Domingo), he turns is a good performance, and Karen Armstrong is a passionate Elsa who plays the part admirably. The rest of the cast is strong on the whole. But the real splendors of this set spring from the pit - Woldemar Nelsson (of whom I had never heard until I discovered this recording) leads the Beyreuth Festival orchestra in a burning account. They are a truly Wagnerian orchestra (it would be a shame if they weren't), and Nelsson brings out all the Master's colors. The energy of a live performance just pours out. Never have I heard the preludes and prominent sections played with such an intense timbre. It's amazing to hear.

            Therefore, though this set doesn't match Kempe, Solti, or Leinsdorf overall, it is a strong alternate set that should not be ignored.

            5 out of 5 stars How Blessed I Am.......2001-11-25

            This CD is a necessary addition to the collection of anyone who has ever loved a pet. The songs on this album have been inspired by various animals -- dogs, cats, horses, and guinea pigs, to name a few. The songs are delivered in a soothing style that is still up-tempo. The vocals blend beautifully, and the instrumentals are just right. The lyrics and imagery are purely poetic. "Casey and Mary and Friends" has become a favorite for adults and children alike in my family. If you are looking for a perfect holiday gift for an animal lover of any age, this is it.

              The church music of Orlando Gibbons always maintains such civility and refinement, and yet the strength and character of its melodies and the inventiveness of the imitative passages prevent any hint of routine or formula. The anthems on this disc--all 18 of them--show the highest order of compositional skill in the management of voices, occasionally accompanied by viols or organ. A few stand out as masterpieces, especially the verse anthems "Praise the Lord," with its magnificent writing for high trebles, and "See, the Word Is Incarnate," with its wonderful variety of textures and expressive effects. Of course the well-known "This Is the Record of John" and "Almighty and Everlasting God" are included, along with several lesser-known full and verse anthems. The Trinity College Choir is simply superb--make that matchless--in this repertoire. --David Vernier
