Biography
The Purcell Quartet is becoming recognized as among the leading chamber groups in the realm of Baroque music performance. As its name suggests, the group offers devoted much work to championing the chamber functions of Henry Purcell, playing and documenting plenty of his result, notably the entire three- and four-part sonatas and the entire pavans. However the group’s huge repertory also contains functions by J.S. Bach, Corelli, Handel, Vivaldi, Schütz, and several additional Baroque composers. Furthermore, — and why is the Purcell players exclusive — they will have staged operas, such as for example Monteverdi’s L’incoronazione di Poppea and also have presented huge choral functions in concert by Bach, including cantatas and people. They have produced over 50 recordings, mainly for the Chandos label. The Purcell Quartet was founded in London in 1983, but didn’t provide its debut concert until Feb 14, the next season, at London’s St. John’s, Smith Square. The group’s associates then had been Robert Woolley (key pad), Catherine Mackintosh (violin), Elizabeth Wallfisch (second violin), and Richard Boothby (cello; viola da gamba). Only 1 change in workers provides taken place over time: violinist Catherine Weiss changed Wallfisch. The group acquired immediate success after its triumphant 1984 debut concert, and within 3 years proved six recordings for the Hyperion label, each specialized in an alternative Baroque composer: Vivaldi, Corelli, Alessandro Scarlatti, C.P.E. Bach, Geminiani, and Marais. In 1987 the ensemble started saving for Chandos Information and has created a lot more than 40 Compact disc titles for this Uk label. By the first ’90s, the Purcell Quartet is at great demand, both in the home and overseas. Numerous concert travels had taken the quartet not merely through the entire U.K., but across European countries, the U.S., SOUTH USA, and elements of the center East. In 1998 the group journeyed to Japan to stage shows of Monteverdi’s L’incoronazione di Poppea. 3 years afterwards it came back for another essential tour, that one featuring a extremely effective staging of Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo starring Tag Padmore. Other leading vocalists possess typically appeared on the Purcell Quartet’s opera and concert productions over time, including Emma Kirkby, Nancy Argenta, Michael Possibility, and Peter Harvey. The Purcell Quartet proclaimed its 20th wedding anniversary within an acclaimed Feb 2004 concert at Wigmore Hall. The ensemble provides remained very mixed up in recording studio room, and among its recordings may be the 2006 Chandos Compact disc of Couperin’s Les Countries, Vol. 2.
