Tim Mead & Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien - Purcell: Songs & Dances - The Sunday Times

Reactions to this absorbing and revelatory disc will, I suspect, depend on how one responds to the “Frenchified” Purcell of François Lazarevitch’s Saint-Julien musicians. I heartily approve of their imaginative, improvisatory approach, which brings some of the instrumental music...close to the realms of their speciality, Celtic folk music.
