"This 12CD collection brings together Emma Kirkby’s complete L'Oiseau-Lyre recitals in a single set. The world’s most popular period-instrument soprano, Kirkby’s pure, crystalline sound defined how vocal music of the baroque and earlier eras should sound for a whole generation or more.
Accompanied in the main by Anthony Rooley, the set features works by Purcell, Handel, Bach and Mozart as well as rarely recorded works by Edwards, Campion, Dowland, Morley, Ferrabosco and many more.
“The singing is of a very high order, the accompaniments are managed with real sympathy, and the balance is ideal. An unusual and highly enjoyable record.”
Gramophone (on Amorous Dialogues)
“The Evening Hymn is radiantly done, and so are many of the less well-known airs which regularly bring new revelation. Excellent recording, if with the voice forward, given striking extra presence on CD”
Penguin Guide (on Purcell - Songs and Airs)
“Emma Kirby sings the exacting solo parts with apparently effortless fluency... these are spectacular performances, enhanced by the fine choral and orchestral support guided by the sure hand of Christopher Hogwood, and vividly recorded.”
Gramophone (on Mozart: Exsultate, jubilate)
