5.0 out of 5 stars Purcell stole my heart, February 7, 2001

This review is from: The Secular Songs of Henry Purcell, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)

Alas, with the help of phenomenally expressive singers on this CD, Purcell has stolen my heart. I listened to this CD a few times then immediately emptied my pocketbook to the nearest consort putting on a Purcell concert. Such poverty is love.
