Yes Rob, you have frequently hinted that you are partial to English Music!Originally posted by EdgeleyRob View Post
I should have added that I am partial to the English Composers of this week and last, Henry Purcell and William Byrd.Comment

I thoroughly enjoyed this Composer of the Week. Donald Macleod sounded almost as if he were reporting live from Purcell’s time.
Here’s something (part of a gala concert) that Purcell, as a man of theatre, might just have enjoyed but definitely NOT for present-day purists.
