Arcangelo - Jonathan Cohen (Dir) // Christopher Purves is renowned for both the powerful sense of dramatic conviction he brings to everything he undertakes, and for a vocal technique which must be heard to be believed. From Handel's early cantata to selections from Italian opera and English oratorio, this is a recital from a very special singer indeed.
