Purcell: Keyboard Suites & Grounds / Richard Egarr

Richard Egarr, harpsichord

Published a year after his death, Henry Purcell’s eight keyboard suites were long overshadowed by his more celebrated works.
They are the heirs to a characteristically English vein, shifting from humour to seriousness in delightfully casual fashion, like the elegant grounds chosen by Richard Egarr to echo them here; the musical testament of a composer who died all too soon.
