Purcell. Harpsichord Suites Nos.1-8. Gilbert

Kenneth Gilbert (harpsichord)

Purcell: Harpsichord Suites Nos.1-8

Though much less well known than his music for the theater and the church, Purcell’s harpsichord works (which fit comfortably onto a single CD) nevertheless provide bear witness once more to the genius of ‘Orpheus Britannicus.’ Heard here in superb performances by Kenneth Gilbert, these pieces achieve a perfect synthesis of the styles of the French, Italian and English masters.
