    Here the Deities approve
    The God of Music and of Love;
    All the talents they have lent you,
    All the blessings they have sent you,
    Pleas'd to see what they bestow,
    Live and thrive so well below.

      Thanks! It's beautifully sung but it still helps to see the lyrics in my experience.

    What I like about Reginald is how it manages to sing without " forcing" the pitch .. an absolute delight

    This guy is incredible, there is so much life in his singing ! Purcell's songs are often warm and simple and the way he sings highlights the text so well.
    This simple guitar arrangement and this lively voice, it seems like this song defies time, it feels as direct and relevant now as it was many centuries ago.

    I am deeply impressed. I have said for decades we need more soul in Early Music. Not fake emotion but personal, lively articulation, phrasing and, above all, sound. Technical aptitude is merely a precondition. Stereotypes hanging over from romantic music are a nuisance, obfuscating the true emotions of Early Music compositions. Thus I am delighted by this wonderful duo. Thank you.

    It's a beautiful song but the unbalanced sound (in my headphones) leads to auditory fatigue; if his voice were balanced between the left and right speaker, and likewise with the lute, it'd be fabulous. Thanks for sharing.
