Purcell - Complete Chamber Music 7 CDBrilliant Classics 2008
Performer: Musica Amphion, Pieter-Jan Belder
This 7 CD box set is very much in-keeping with their past releases and the company's ethos – to release recordings at both a high quality and a very competitive price. Indeed, the label's first releases included Bach's Brandenburg Concertos and Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Of course, one is so often forced to make a compromise with box sets of this nature – very often a great volume of music for a very reasonable price infers the quality of the contents will be distinctly average. Thankfully however, on this occasion, this is not the case. Musica Anphion's performance of this significant - if not entirely varied - material is heart-felt and compelling.
