Free Music Notes for Purcell: Songs & Airs / Argenta, North, Boothby, Nicholson, Toll

Free Music Review: Perfectly beautiful music from the English Renaissance
Hit: 5 Stars

The combination of Nancy Argenta's clear voice and the songs and airs of Henry Purcell is a winner. Henry Purcell served Charles II, his brother James II, and William and Mary. Purcell was trained in the Chapel Royal, eventually becoming the organist. Unfortunately he died at the height of his compositional powers but he left over a thousand complete compositions. This two CD anthology is excellent. The music varies including compositions that are traditional English ayres. The English lyrics are expressive and in perfect harmony with the music. Nancy Argenta, like Kathleen Battle, has perfect diction and control. The use of historic instruments such as the archlute, theorbo, baroque guitar, viola da gamba, harpsichord, and chamber organ adds to the warmth of the selections and the more contemporary orchestra of oboes, trumpets, violins, and viola. The accompaniment is perfectly in balance with the vocals. The haunting selection "O solitude" is the final selection for the first CD and tragically beautiful "Thy hand, Belinda...When I am laid in earth" is the final selection of the second CD.
