Synopsis

Product Description
The four Baroque instrumentalist super stars are reunited in 'Henry Purcell: Twelve Sonatas in Three Parts'. Recorded at St George's, Chesterton, the recording beautifully captures the timeless beauty of Purcell's most highly regarded instrumental works. The group's debut recording, released to celebrate the 350th birthday of Henry Purcell, was selected as a finalist in the Baroque Instrumental category at the 2009 Gramophone Awards, was named Gramophone Editor's Choice and the recording was also included in the prestigious Top 100 Albums of 2009 in The Sunday Times, a list that covers all genres from rock and pop, to jazz and classical. Purcell's sonatas display the composer's innate ability at blending influences from French, Italian and English music; exotic dissonances can be heard alongside the unique use of counterpoint to create these
exceptional works.
