About

‘The Food of Love’, a strongly compelling title for a magnificent programme featuring the best of Purcell’s vocal music, sung by world renowned baroque specialist Paul Agnew. He is joined by an outstanding group of continuo players, led by gambist Anne-Marie Lasla, to create a special atmosphere of intimate music-making.

Purcell achieved the near miraculous feat of sounding natural in a heightened dramatic vein, using ornamentation and repetition to place expressive stress on key words.

“Agnew’s voice is one of the most searingly expressive in the baroque field.” - Gramophone on Paul Agnew
