performed by Alfred Deller (counter tenor), Honor Sheppard (soprano), Maurice Bevan (baritone), Max Worthley (tenor), Philip Todd (tenor), Sally le Sage (soprano), Alfred Deller (conductor)
composed by Henry Purcell

This one is a bona fide survival from the early days of early music, featuring the king of the early countertenors, Alfred Deller, accompanied in John Blow's duets by his son Mark. ...
