Andreas Scholl & the Accademia Bizantina

Returning to the Decca label, Andrews Scholl lends his superb countertenor voice to the music of Purcell. Including the famous soprano aria ‘When I am Laid in Earth’ from Dido and Aeneas, this collection comprises music from the stage as well as sacred and chamber music.
