| Publisher Description: Benjamin Britten's performances and realizations of the songs and other music by Henry Purcell extended over at least thirty years, from the early nineteen forties onwards. In Purcell he found a kindred spirit: a composer of opera and dramatic music who knew how to write for the voice, and who handled the English language with sensitivity and daring. |
