Purcell: Ten Sonatas In Four Parts
The King's Consort
Sixth release on the VIVAT label features Henry Purcell’s brilliant yet melancholic “Ten Sonatas in Four Parts”.
The King’s Consort holds a worldwide reputation as leading performers of Purcell. This new release adds to TKC’s 25 recordings of the composer’s music, which have won numerous international awards and been central in restoring Purcell’s music to prominence.
The international performer line-up includes Italian-Dutch violinist Cecilia Bernardini, Gramophone award-winning German viol player Susanne Heinrich, Welsh violinist Huw Daniel, and English organist Robert King and theorbo player Lynda Sayce.
Purcell’s extraordinarily inventive, highly individual music combines Italian vigour, French elegance and delicious English melancholy with harmonic daring, extraordinary contrapuntal technique and unique melodic inventiveness.
Recorded in the well-nigh perfect acoustic of The Menuhin Hall, Surrey.
Extensive presentation includes 44 page booklet with authoritative liner note in three languages by renowned Purcell expert and biographer Robert King, session photographs and reproductions from the 1697 first edition.
