composed by Johann Sebastian Bach

Where did the big, imposing, public quality of Handel's English choral music come from? Listening to the music of John Blow (1649-1708) uncovers part of the answer.

In this disc collecting the best known of his works written for Queen Mary, the full emotional range of Purcell's ...

The "flute" involved in this album is a recorder, and the music is from England, which in the late seventeenth century just as now was the instrument's heartland among musical amateurs.
