Countertenor - A Collection of His Early Recordings
Description
This box set includes music by Purcell, Dowland, Campion, and other significant 16th and 17th century English composers, as well as Shakespeare settings, drinking songs, sacred music by Bach and Buxtehude, and folk songs arranged by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Deller was also in great demand as a singer of the castrato roles in Handel operas, and so the collection also features excerpts from "Sosarme" in which Deller sings the title role.
Personnel: Alfred Deller (countertenor), Desmond Dupré (guitar and lute), The St Anthony Singers, L'Ensemble Orchestral de L'Oiseau-Lyre, Sir Anthony Lewis (conductor), The Deller Consort and others
