Awards and reviews
September 2007
Christie and his performers bring the perfect balance of intimacy and intensity to this repertoire. Paul Agnew conveys the essence of these songs with poetic expressivity… while the treble-like soprano of Hannah Morrison is the perfect instrument for Purcell's sublime Evening Hymn, which she sings with artless naivety. Divine, indeed.
