When this recording of Purcell's Airs and Duets first appeared in the late seventies it touched off a fire-storm of interest in one of England's greatest composers. This Purcell disc won world-wide recognition for American countertenor, Jeffrey Dooley, the young protégé of Alfred Deller. This disc celebrates the return of Dooley with internationally acclaimed tenor Howard Crook - a specialist on Bach and the hautecontre roles of French baroque opera, which he has performed throughout Europe. * This 2-disc pack features a free bonus CD, the Lyrichord Early Music Sampler-17 tracks of our best early music recordings!
