performed by King's Consort, Choir of the King's Consort (choir, chorus), Robert King (conductor)
composed by George Frederick Handel, Henry Purcell, John Blow, John Farmer, King's Consort, Orlando Gibbons, Recorded Sound, Thomas Tallis, William Child

"Why present just Handel's Coronation Anthems for King George II when you can present the whole Coronation?" seems to be the proposition that underlies this two-disc set, entitled The Coronation of King George II, 1727. And, thrillingly performed by Robert King directing the King's Consort and the Choir of the King's Consort, there seems no good ...

Daniel Taylor Sings Purcell & Dowland

Daniel Taylor Sings Purcell & Dowland (2005) more music like this

performed by Da Sonar, Daniel Taylor (counter tenor), Les Voix Humaines (choir, chorus)
composed by Francis Cutting, Henry Purcell, John Blow, John Dowland, Tobias Hume

Daniel Taylor is a Canadian countertenor, one of a group that has come on the scene in recent years and given promise that soon the countertenor voice will be considered less an exotic specialty and more a generally cultivated voice type. Taylor, perhaps more than other countertenors active today, sounds as though he is engaging in a natural kind ...

composed by Henry Purcell, John Blow, Pelham Humfrey, William Croft

With one singer to a part and very sparing use of continuo, this 2006 Virgin recording of Divine Hymns by Henry Purcell, William Croft, John Blow, and Pelham Humfrey is both lively and severe. Performed by Les Arts Florissants under the direction of William Christie, the works here express a huge emotional range, and the singers -- tenor Paul ...

composed by John Blow

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. Blow, organist at the Chapel Royal and later the impressively titled "Composer of the Chapel Royal," was the preeminent church composer of the English restoration. His anthems, 14 of ...

As fine a series of recordings as has been made in the digital era, Peter Holman's The English Orpheus with his Parley of Instruments is a brilliant, moving, and revelatory series of recordings illuminating the greatness of English music between 1600 and 1800. And if the phrase greatness of English music sounds absurd, which in too many ...

The eighteenth century concerts at London's Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens represented a major turning point in the history of public concerts.

The usual fare at Vauxhall Gardens was the English-language pop tunes of ...

performed by Joseph Cornwell (tenor), Jozik Koc (bass), Michael Chance (counter tenor), Parley of Instruments, Playford Consort, Richard Wistreich (bass), Robin Blaze (counter tenor), Suzie LeBlanc (soprano)
composed by Giovanni Battista Draghi, John Blow

The masterpieces of the High Baroque did not arise in isolation but were almost all steps in long traditions -- and are better understood as such.
