    Overview

    Purcell set benchmark standards in his works for royal occasions

    Paul McCreesh continues his survey of the composer’s birthday odes for Queen Mary with three exceptional compositions. The programme is capped by Come, ye sons of art away, an ideally blended mix of solo airs, ensemble songs and instrumental pieces.

    Henry Purcell: A Retrospective is made possible thanks to all our contributors to the Wigmore Hall Endowment Fund, whose purpose is to help fund important artistic projects.
