Voces8 & Les Inventions A Purcell Collection (CD)

An invitation to stroll through the world of one of Englands greatest composers

The young, virtuoso A Cappella ensemble VOCES8 return to disc on Signum with a sumptuous collection of early works by Henry Purcell. Joined by the specialist early-music ensemble Les Inventions, the group explores Purcells astoundingly diverse output there is hardly a genre in which he did not express himself: anthems, odes, funeral music, semi- operas, masques, sonatas, consort-music, songs and catches populate his extraordinarily multifaceted uvre. It is this astonishing diversity that we wish to celebrate by inviting the listener for a stroll through the world of one of Englands greatest composers.

“If anyone ever doubts Purcells consummate genius, this CD beautifully recorded and executed ought to convince them. A great introduction to Purcells many guises”Choir and Organ
