Sumptuous musical feasts!
Two Odes composed for the Feast Day of Saint Cecilia in 1683 and 1692; two very different was of treating the glorification of an art form in which Purcell was the master. Welcome to all the pleasures calls for a relatively small formation and seems to have been concieved entirely in the Italian style (if not for Italian use). Eight years later, Hail! bright Caecilia turned out to be a fabulous hymn to music, as rich and varied as the act of an opera – a veritable Baroque fireworks which is among Purcell's greatest achievements.

Rezensionen
KLASSIKheute 8/1998: "Dem Collegium Vocale kommt der ruhigere Ton entgegen: Zum einen kann der Chor so seine Klarheit und dynamische Schärfe richtig ent falten. Und bei Susan Hamilton's stimmschönem Sopransolo 'Thou tun'st this World' sind im Orchester plötzlich Phrasierungen möglich, wo das Gabrielo Consort nur gleichmäßig durchspielen konnte." stereoplay 11/1993: "Die Aufnahme ist sehr raumbetont, gleichzeitig durchhörbar und deswegen fast ideal zu nennen. Ein besonderes Hörvergnügen bereitet das große Te Deum mit prächtigen, vielgestaltigen Chören, Soli, Duetten, Terzetten, Instrumentalsätzen dieses 'Orpheus Britannicus', wie ihn seine Zeitgenossen nannten."- Tracklisting
