5.0 out of 5 starsa voice teacher and early music fan
By George Peabody VINE VOICE on July 29, 2009
Format: DVD
TONY PALMER, VERSATILE FILMMAKER COMBINED WITH THE CREATIVITY OF JOHN ELIOT GARDINER CREATE AN HISTORICAL MASTERPIECE!

Tony Palmer, filmmaker, has produced films in virtually all genres, but he obviously loves music and musicians. So it is not surprising that he would produce a film about Henry Purcell(1659-1695). Sometimes, rambling, but always fascinating; part biography of Purcell and part actors putting on a play about Purcell in modern day England.

Not much is known about the historical Purcell, whose music (in great abundance) nonetheless survives today as one of the great glories of the Restoration. Henry Purcell IS a mystery. We know where he's buried (next to Vaughan Williams in Westminster Abbey), but that's about it. No one knows for certain where he was born or even precisely when he was born. He lived exactly the same number of years as Mozart - only thirty-five- but we only know in detail what he did for three of those years. Page after page of some of his manuscripts of some of his masterworks are completely blank. Purcell was, and is, a mystery, except that we know he wrote over a thousand works, at least one for every working week of his life.

However, the film dances very neatly around the paucity of information by bouncing back and forth between Purcell's time and early Mid-60's England, a time of cultural and political upheaval.

The music played during this film was NEWLY DESIGNED for the action at the time. None of the music is from pre-existing recordings, and that fact makes this DVD doubly interesting to me.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThe magic of Henry Purcell
By Cogo Lino on March 31, 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is the perfect way to get to know the life of Henry Purcell. Even though there is an element of fantasy to the film, the historical information is very accurate.
Glorious music provided by Sir John Elliot Gardiner and hie musicians.

5.0 out of 5 starsWell-made introduction to a great composer unknown to many.
By ken richardson on July 22, 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This really is a fascinating exploration into the life of Purcell; a character about whom precious little seems to be known. The historical context is well-rendered and, quite appropriately, a little tongue in cheek. The DVD quality is acceptable and the acting accomplished if not as powerful as that of Trevor Howard in "God Rot Tunbridge Wells".
Palmer has given the uninitiated an excellent introduction to the music of Purcell. For those who know and love his music, the weaving of it into the historical events beginning with the Restoration enriches the appreciation of Purcell's achievements.

4.0 out of 5 starsExcellent film about Henry Purcell
By Waltraut Kupf on December 21, 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
In my case this film is meant as a gift, so I just checked whether ist seemed to be technically ok. My impression is that it is first of all a valuable contribution with a view to eductation not only on English baroque music but also on Britsh history and patriotism. I shall give it to my grandchildren who are pupils at a high school for students of music. Maybe they can use it for a presentation which both includes history and music.
The delivery was faster than expected.
