'Altogether a marvellous treat - Another Hyperion triumph' (Classic CD)
'Two irresistible discs - typically painstakingly produced and documented - and would deserve four stars if only they were there to give' (The Times)
'It is more or less axiomatic now that anything Graham Johnson turns his hand to will be perfectly realised, and here it proves once again to be the case. That he is accompanying eight of the finest voices in the young and middle generations of British singers can only have helped. Hyperion supplies full texts and a recorded sound of complete fidelity. These are, moreover, well filled discs. It is plain that nothing short of a strong recommendation will do' (Fanfare, USA)
'A feast' (Sunday Times)
Recorded in Rosslyn Hill Unitarian Chapel, Hampstead, London, on 5–10 January 1995
Tracks:
The Knotting Song
Fairest Isle
If music be the food of love (two versions)
Turn then thine eyes
Music for a while
Pious Celinda
I'll sail upon the Dog-star
On the brow of Richmond Hill; Mad Bess
If music be the food of love
There's not a swain of the plain
Not all my torments
Man is for the Woman made
Sweeter than roses
O Solitude
I attempt from Love's sickness to fly
I take no pleasure
Hark the ech'ing air!
Take not a woman's anger ill
How blest are Shepherds
Celemene; Sound the Trumpet
I spy Celia; Lost is my quiet
What can we poor females do?
No, Resistance is but vain
Shepherd, leave decoying
The Queen's Epicedium
The Blessed Virgin's Expostulation
Saul and the Witch of Endor
Lord, what is man?
We sing to him; Evening Hymn
Job's Curse
A Morning Hymn
Alleluia
In the black dismal dungeon of despair
Dulcibella
When Myra sings
Let the dreadful engines of eternal will
