This review is from: Henry Purcell: Anthems & Hymns (Audio CD)

This recording is hauntingly beautiful."awake and with attention hear" is an 8 minute long song about the end of times. "now that the sun has unveiled its light"is not to be missed in this lifetime; the other songs are great too ! i cannot believe I am the first to review this treasure... buy it! highly recommended
