"There's a brightness to the voice which pinpoints open-eyed wonder...That Zomer knows how to float a line and respond to its musical contours is never in doubt" BBC Music Magazine, June 2010 ***
Hybrid SACD - playable on both SACD and CD players.
"There's a brightness to the voice which pinpoints open-eyed wonder...That Zomer knows how to float a line and respond to its musical contours is never in doubt" BBC Music Magazine, June 2010 ***
"Throughout this recording Zomer's slightly inflected vowels, her natural warmth and generosity of tone as well as her elegant, rather than sharply defined articulation, set her apart from many of her English counterparts. An achievement on every front." (International Record Review Pick of the Month Nov 2010)
Beautiful miniatures full of English melancholy.
Purcell's famous 'Music for a while' crowns a century of extraordinary song writing.
Wonderful togetherness of Johannette Zomer and Fred Jacobs.
Johannette Zomer and Fred Jacobs started recording a series of programmes devoted to 17th Century monody for which their research has unveiled many hidden treasures. This recording brings beautiful miniatures, full of English melancholy and humor, including Purcells's famous 'Music for a while'. Their previous recordings in this series - 'Splendore di Roma', 'Nuove Musiche' and 'l'Esprit Galant'- received great international acclaim.

Gaultier, J:

Cupid once, when weary grown
Oh! That I had but a fine man
O Love, if e'er thou'lt ease a heart

Come, heavy sleep
