Product Description:
Perfectly poised for all the Royal sentiments in the air for the forthcoming Royal Wedding, Music All Powerful - Music to entertain Queen Victoria provides a delightful flashback of the British Royal Family and is the first release on CD of a delightful Argo LP. It offers solo songs, unaccompanied and accompanied choral songs and a handful of instrumental numbers such as would have been performed for and during Queen Victoria's reign. The Purcell Consort of Voices under Grayston Burgess are joined by a group of instrumental soloists, including the superb violinist Iona Brown, with pianist Jennifer Partridge both accompanying and playing a Mendelssohn Song without Words and a Chaminade piece. For bringing back songs from obscurity alone this is a worthy CD. But it also recalls obscure composers like Pinsuti, Klos, Beale, Galkin, Walmisley and Callcott and an obscure instrument - the ophicleide (the instrument Mendelssohn wanted for Bottom's braying in the Midsummer Night's Dream over.
