PRE ORDER: Rebellion! - Purcell: From Street To Stage - Curious Bards (CD)

We have already met Purcell the chamber musician, harpsichordist and opera composer. But there is less awareness of his daily musical haunts - taverns, theatres, venues for dancing. Rebellion! Restores all the vitality of this popular musical vein, grounded in the vibrancy of London life at the end of the 17th century: music of vivid contrast, inventiveness and defiance. Here is Purcell Untamed!
