Reviews Customer Reviews for Purcell Full Anthems And Organ Music      An awesome performance      Rating:      This compilation of music is enough to get an atheist to believe in a higher power -- it's that amazing. The music and lyrics are awe-inspiring, and this performance is made all the better by the Oxford Camerata. I've had an opportunity to listen to other versions of this music (by Choir of Clare College and by Arcadia Players), and I am convinced that the performance by the Oxford Camerata is by far the best. Their timing and their voices are perfect. I've been wearing out this album both on my laptop and in my car for the last six months or so, and I see no signs of stopping.     Customer Reviews for Purcell Full Anthems And Organ Music Cd      It's all good!      Rating:      This is a fantastic collection of Purcell's greatest choral works, wonderfully sung by the Oxford Camerata. My favourites: 'Jehova, quam multi sunt' (a fine example of Renaissance-inspired Baroque choral writing), 'Lord, how long wilt thou be angry?', and the more well-known 'Hear my prayer, O Lord'. However, the entire album is full of authentic little treasures which continue to marvel. A great recording for any classical collection.
