    Andreas Scholl returns to Decca with a recording of vocal jewels by the great baroque composer Henry Purcell, including 'When I Am Laid In Earth' from Dido and Aeneas. This is Andreas Scholl's first ever recording of the music of Purcell and his uniquely beautiful voice is perfectly suited to the English composer's plangent melodies. The album includes pieces written for the stage, the church and the private chamber, some of which Andreas Scholl has sung in recital for many years, and some he sings here for the first time.

    Review : Scholl’s voice is so beautiful that even listeners who normally have trouble with the countertenor sound will be won over. With dozens of CDs and videos already on the market, many of them big sellers and mostly featuring music of Handel, Bach, Buxtehude, Dowland and the like, it was only a matter of time before Scholl got to the music of Henry Purcell (who himself sang countertenor — as well as baritone). This CD is glorious from start to end; a pair of duets with fellow countertenor Christophe Dumaux (“Sound the trumpet” from Come ye sons of art and the lesser-known “O dive custos” from Elegy on the death of Queen Mary) offer a master class in exquisite blending, fine Baroque singing and ornamentation, and present opportunities for comparisons between countertenor voices. Dumaux’s sits a bit higher and lacks some of Scholl’s warmth, but is also a lovely instrument. One of Purcell’s greatest arias, “What power art thou” (a.k.a. the “Cold Song”) is here performed with such sureness of pitch, eerie expressivity and purposefully audible breaths that it enchants as much as it terrifies. It is helped by the striking playing of the Accademia Bizantina under Stefano Montanari, who gives the lie to the theory that early music need be performed in a sterile manner. The band’s solos from The Gordian Knot Unty’d, King Arthur and other pieces are exquisitely, vividly played. With the surprising “When I am laid in earth” from Dido and Aeneas, normally the property of mezzosopranos, gender is quickly and utterly forgotten in this outpouring of grief. This is a major release, simply stunning.
