At that time we deliberately refrained from altering the original harmonies of these ostinato basses (or 'grounds' as they were known in England). It was only the melodic idiom of the jazz clarinettist, with his subtle timing, that differed from 'our' seventeenth-century musical language. On Music for a while, however, we wished to underline the extraordinary modernity of Purcell's music by constantly moving between the centuries in the harmonies and styles of the improvisations. This change of musical style is often accomplished within a single bar of a piece by means of subtle rhythmic and harmonic modifications to the ground. The bass lines and melodies composed by Purcell remain intact, but the improvisatory style of the instruments suddenly switches centuries. Our listeners find themselves in a timeless music room. I am especially glad that the wonderful Gianluigi Trovesi has again enriched this new project with his superb artistry, ten years after All'lmprovviso. I am also delighted that I was able to persuade my old school friend, the extraordinary jazz guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel from Graz, to join our Purcell project. » Henry Purcell PLAYLIST (reference recordings) : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJh7l5OCnqjcf2w.html

This is one of the coolest albums I've ever found.

Thanks a lot. I am a devote fan of Christina Pluhar

Magnifique ! Autant cette merveilleuse voix que l ´ interprétation jazzzique qui donne un charme infini á cette musique et un éclat nouveau. Merci.

The best music never dies...

Such wonderful, imaginative, uplifting music! A treasure.💞

J'adore ce point de vue sur la musique de Purcell.

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.

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!

Album meraviglioso, grandi interpreti

CHRISTINA PLUHAR MEETS HENRY PURCELL. SO GOOD. SUCH INOVATION. OF JAROUSKY THRILLING VOICE AND PRESENCE HOMAGE TO YOU ALL.. MORE !! BRAVO.. HAL

Very nice lecture of Christina Pluhar. Very inspirative and warm. Very good!

What a refreshing interpretation. Thank you.

Wow... Such a different point of view on the always lovely Purcell... Thank you for showing this to us!

how awesome is genuine music when you get inspired from a solid tradition and reshape it in a new form for the newer audiences? congrats!

Благодарю, получилось очень современно и изысканно 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This music is beautiful, passionate, and most intimate. I have no idea how the photo for this video even relates.

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?

Schmetterlinge im Bauch und Gänsehaut...Wunderbar!

This was really good. Jazz and classical fusion the way it should be done.

Esto es una gozada, puro placer!!!👏👏👏👏👏🥂

Шикарно-джаз -барокко!!!

Magnifico Divino Bravo !!!!

La musique n est pas dénaturée et c’est très beau Bravo

Maravilloso❤

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

superb

Amazing, to dare to cover Henry, and then to give such an over excited performance --- cheers all the best

Que hermosa

Przepiękne

Hi friend, happy weekend, big hug 🤗 Affections 🎶🌹💐👍🍀🙌😉

J'adore

Şahane bir kayıt, caz Purcell'e çok yakışmış. Klasikle modernin harmanlandığı bir tad bırakıyor kulaklarda. Teşekkürler Christina Pluhar, emeği geçen herkese teşekkürler

Wow!

Completely unexpected. I think I like it!

cet album est une perle, je l'ai commandé.

This is a lovely surprise.

Mega 🤩

Oedipus, King Of Thebes, Z 583 - Music For A While it's a masterpiece. Purcell would like it!

Best rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" ever.

"As soon as I thought that I got out, she pulled me back in..."

uauuuuu no words!!!!

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 )

Суперррр

Beauty

Maravillosa obra! ¿Quien realizó el disegno de la portada?

Some of this is excellent - 'Strike the Viol' for example. But - 'When I am laid in earth' ?

Hay algo gitano o flamenco español....

Is that her in the picture?

Ist das wirklich Henry Purcell? Zu viel improvisiert, denke ich.

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.
