5.0 out of 5 stars
A bargain CD for lovers of English choral music,
By Solanales (Saint Paul, Minnesota United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Purcell: Full Anthems & Organ Music (Audio CD)
In addition to Henry Purcell's edifying choral anthems, this CD also contains his music composed on the occasion of Queen Mary's death. Listen to this music with your eyes closed and imagine the royal funeral procession to Westminister Abbey on that cold March morning in 1695 (a place that a 36 year old Purcell himself would rest 8 months later); it is an epiphany! For movie buffs, the funeral march (Z. 860A; played wonderfully by the Oxford Camerata brass) was featured in Anthony Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange". If you enjoy Purcell's works or choral music in general, you should definitely make a modest purchase and get this wonderful CD for your collection!

It's all good!,
By "kiwimuzo" (Auckland, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Purcell: Full Anthems & Organ Music (Audio CD)
This is a fantastic collection of Purcell's greatest choral works, wonderfully sung by the Oxford Camerata. My favourites: 'Jehova, quam multi sunt' (a fine example of Renaissance-inspired Baroque choral writing), 'Lord, how long wilt thou be angry?', and the more well-known 'Hear my prayer, O Lord'. However, the entire album is full of authentic little treasures which continue to marvel. A great recording for any classical collection.

An awesome performance,

This review is from: Purcell: Full Anthems / Music On The Death Of Queen Mary (MP3 Download)
This compilation of music is enough to get an atheist to believe in a higher power -- it's that amazing.
The music and lyrics are awe-inspiring, and this performance is made all the better by the Oxford Camerata. I've had an opportunity to listen to other versions of this music (by Choir of Clare College and by Arcadia Players), and I am convinced that the performance by the Oxford Camerata is by far the best. Their timing and their voices are perfect. I've been wearing out this album both on my laptop and in my car for the last six months or so, and I see no signs of stopping.
