Here is a truncated version of a masterpiece of Sir Henry PURCELL. And in many ways. I do not question the vocal qualities of the singer, here particularly highlighted. It's her recital? But some tunes are missing and / or articulated maize. The quality of sound is vintage, but not of 17 em century nonetheless! However, the most troublesome in this version remains unmistakably his bill "classic" to the tone "bel canto" operas of the late 19th century em. Or PURCELL not VERDI Who would have the crazy idea of playing a Monteverdi madrigal like HERSANT? So let's play a baroque opera with the tone and spirit of the time. It is not of obscurantism is simply respect the original work and its author beyond time. So bright stainless, super heady version of Christopher Hogwood
