Purcell's 'Fantasias for Viols' by Jordi Savall
Sr. Savall has produced another masterpiece with his 2008 release of the 1994 performance of Henry Purcell's fantasias for a consort of viols. Never published in Purcell's lifetime, these pieces are rarely performed and even more rarely recorded. IMO, the pieces deserve as much attention as anything else I can think of in the chamber repertoire. They are that good. And Sr. Savall's highly introspective interpretation does more justice to them than any that I have heard.
The recording is presented as a CD/SACD hybrid. For my taste, the CD portion sounds a bit bright and thin (it is after all a CD), and I have no SACD player. So there you go.
If any chamber music fan does not like this amazing package I will not refund your money, but I will be quite surprised.
