I love, love, love this! Baroque music (and voices, such as Orlinski's or Jaroussky's ) can be so timeless yet modern and there is such a profound sense of peace to be encountered. I hope you keep pushing the envelope so we can continue to enjoy.
I’m won over! Baroque for ever, but this was beautiful. Is it a guitar or a theorbo in the second movement? Christine’s voice is superb. ( This is the first time I’ve ever written a comment )
This is a magnificent recording. Only serves to underline the enduring quality of Purcell’s music. What a tragedy that his life was cut so short for surely he hadn’t reached the zenith of his creativity?
Je ne suis pas une grande spécialiste mais cette interprétation un peu Jazzy me ravit... J'adore ce morceau, J'adore la musique baroque... (strike the viol) mais ma version vient de Music For Queen Mary ( John Eliot Gardiner), Monteverdi Orchestra) Je ne sais pas c'est un bon disque mais perso je l'AIMMMEEEE, il me fait tant vibrer et Ces Voix sont comme la nature ou mieux encore l'EAU, elles me transportent loin vers le paradis que chacun a en soi
bonjour, commentaire tardif, merci de vous exprimer en français et de sentir tout comme moi le côté "jazzy" de certaine version.....et d'écouter Purcell.
Замечательное сочетание старины и современности - благодаря таланту Cristina Pluhar, коллективу L' Arpeggiata и великолепным солистам-вокалистам. Такое прочтение творчества Purcell вряд ли смутит любителей аутентичности (ну разве совсем немного). Уж очень красиво, ярко, интересно. Да и стиль очень подходит музыке барокко. Огромное удовольствие. Спасибо!
This is the photo from the album art cover. According to discogs, it's by Mallory Morrison, who's a photographer specialized in underwater photographs. I love this one, I find that it fits the music really well, this is a nice representation of keeping balance between classical music and jazz. This is at least how I interpret it, but of course I may misinterpret the original intention of the people who chose this photograph for the album.
Şahane bir kayıt, caz Purcell'e çok yakışmış. Klasikle modernin harmanlandığı bir tad bırakıyor kulaklarda. Teşekkürler Christina Pluhar, emeği geçen herkese teşekkürler
Finde ich gar nicht, denn meiner Ansicht nach gelingt hier die Gratwanderung zwischen Barock und moderner Improvisation bzw. Variation zur erfolgreichen Kür und endet nicht mit einer Blutgrätsche. Auf jeden Fall ein spannendes Unterfangen, wenn auch Geschmackssache.
The curates egg comes to mind when listening to this album: 'parts of it are excellent' but there are some songs that simply do not work in this jazzed up format.

This is one of the coolest albums I've ever found.
Try to listen "Ella abraca Jobim" by Ella Fitzgerald. I'm almost sure you'll fall in love with it.

Thanks a lot. I am a devote fan of Christina Pluhar
This was really good. Jazz and classical fusion the way it should be done.
Magnifique ! Autant cette merveilleuse voix que l ´ interprétation jazzzique qui donne un charme infini á cette musique et un éclat nouveau. Merci.
bonjour, commentaire tardif, merci de vous exprimer en français et de sentir tout comme moi le côté "jazzy" de certaine version.....et d'écouter Purcell.
Благодарю, получилось очень современно и изысканно 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
J'adore ce point de vue sur la musique de Purcell.
Замечательное сочетание старины и современности - благодаря таланту Cristina Pluhar, коллективу L' Arpeggiata и великолепным солистам-вокалистам.
Такое прочтение творчества Purcell вряд ли смутит любителей аутентичности (ну разве совсем немного). Уж очень красиво, ярко, интересно. Да и стиль очень подходит музыке барокко.
Огромное удовольствие. Спасибо!
The best music never dies...
Very nice lecture of Christina Pluhar. Very inspirative and warm. Very good!
This music an these voices are so beautiful - it is such delight to listen to this - thank you so much
Wonderful...!!!
Thanks, and greetings from Mexico.
Wow... Such a different point of view on the always lovely Purcell... Thank you for showing this to us!
This music is beautiful, passionate, and most intimate. I have no idea how the photo for this video even relates.

Album meraviglioso, grandi interpreti

Ñññ
Ist das wirklich Henry Purcell? Zu viel improvisiert, denke ich.
Finde ich gar nicht, denn meiner Ansicht nach gelingt hier die Gratwanderung zwischen Barock und moderner Improvisation bzw. Variation zur erfolgreichen Kür und endet nicht mit einer Blutgrätsche. Auf jeden Fall ein spannendes Unterfangen, wenn auch Geschmackssache.
@@ireneinbarcelona Danke für Ihre detaillierte Antwort. Alles gehört zum Geschmack jedes Zuhörers.
@@notaire2 Absolut. Was uns vermutlich verbindet ist die Faszination mit dieser Interpretation. Was bei aller Differenz genial ist.
@@ireneinbarcelona Das verstehe ich auch. Vielen Dank!

Is that her in the picture?
Lyle Waller 😂
No, in this sense, the image is terribly misleading. But the music is heavenly.
