The eclectic classical mix
Purcell's 'cold-scene' aria What Pow'r Art Thou shivers besides a cinematic waltz by PJ Harvey and the welcoming chimes of Foday Musa Suso's kora.
Purcell's "cold scene" aria What Pow'r Art Thou shivers besides a cinematic waltz by PJ Harvey and the welcoming chimes of Foday Musa Suso's kora. There's plenty of romantic warmth in Suk's Serenade for string orchestra and a heady arrangement of Shostakovich's Waltz for jazz band, plus the rapturous Je vais mourir from Les Troyens a Carthage by Berlioz. There's also a tinkling Rondo from Haydn's Sonata in A flat, and to open, a lustrous Love Chant by the unmistakable voices of Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares.
