This Sunday evening concert was part of the Henry Purcell season at the Wigmore Hall. Vox Luminis, under the direction of Lionel Meunier, treated us to 17th century English choral works.
We had arranged to take the next day off and this concert was just what the doctor ordered for us at the end of a busy weekend.
Don’t take our word for it; David Truslove of bachtrack.com gave the concert a rave review – here.
I was fascinated by these instruments, so Janie took a picture of them during the interval:
Below is an example of Vox Luminis performing one of the John Blow pieces we heard:
Below is a full concert video of a similar Vox Luminis concert at an early music festival from a few week’s earlier – no Blow, but Purcell and Morley:
Lovely stuff.
