There is often a soft tender quietness about Purcells sublime music that this performance perfectly understands and communicates - its so deeply moving.
Utterly beautiful!
C'est magnifique, tout simplement. Merci pour ce moment éblouissant.
This is my absolute go-to for its sublime beauty, to calm my soul. Thank you Iestyn
MARVELOUS!!! 🎶🙏
This is Beautiful ❤❤😢😢
Words kind of fail, to be honest. A soaringly magnificent performance that does old Henry very proud indeed, and did my soul worlds of good to boot. Deepest thanks to all...
Are the violin parts original?
Would love to see the lyrics/libretto in English...
Here you are:
"Now, now that the sun hath veil’d his light
And bid the world goodnight;
To the soft bed my body I dispose,
But where shall my soul repose?
Dear, dear God, even in Thy arms,
And can there be any so sweet security!
Then to thy rest, O my soul!
And singing, praise the mercy
That prolongs thy days.
Hallelujah"
What a beautiful music and performance! And so little views.😢 True art taking up to heaven.
The most touching performance of this piece of music I have heard so far. Great singer and great orchestra.
