His recordings became bestsellers (Music for a While, O Solitude), influenced several generations of musicians and continue to delight a worldwide audience. "The immediacy and intimacy of his solo interpretations of Dowland, Purcell or Morley impresses even today's listeners. As an interpreter of English folk songs, Deller is completely in his element: "Iridescent beauty of sound and expressiveness close to the lyrics determine the high suggestive power of these recordings."
