Product-Information:
When Henry Playford published the first volume of Orpheus Britannicus, an anthology of Purcell’s songs, he wrote: ‘The Author’s extraordinary Talent in all sorts of Musick is sufficiently known, but he was especially admir’d for the Vocal, having a peculiar Genius to express the Energy of English Words, whereby he mov’d the Passions of all his Auditors.’ Purcell was indeed widely renowned to be a quite exceptional master of many types of composition. At the Court he was known for his ceremonial music and in particular for his Odes; in the church his services and anthems ensured a fine reputation, and his operas and incidental music for some fifty plays ensured that his name was widely known by the general public.
For a composer of such wide-ranging talents, and one of prolific output, it has been described as ‘almost embarrassing’ to find such riches for the solo voice. Over a hundred solo songs survive, ranging from simple ditties to full cantatas, to which can be added nearly one hundred and fifty songs from the theatre music. Within these works are a vast range of styles, forms and devices, and much music of great stature and importance. Purcell’s fondness for the countertenor voice is well known, and indeed he was reputed to have had both a good bass and countertenor voice. It is not surprising therefore to find that much of his best vocal music is for countertenor, and many other songs, though written originally for a different voice, can successfully be transposed (a regular practice of Purcell’s day) to fit this most expressive of voices.
Rezensionen
'James Bowman must surely be the finest vocal interpreter of Purcell today. His grasp of sentiment, his sense of timing, and his enunciation, are unsurpassed' (Gramophone)
