A Henry Purcell Birthday Celebration, Wigmore Hall
The Purcell Quartet joins Emma Kirkby and friends for an intimate celebration
What a splendid little ensemble the Purcell Quartet is. The sort of group that you rather hope might reduce in size as the years go on, so that in the end you can put them in your pocket and carry them around with you all the time. If ever an ensemble could provide a soundtrack to the ups and downs of life then this is it.
