Vox Luminis - Purcell: King Arthur - Financial Times

Delightfully fresh and subtle in its musicianship. By and large English performers prefer a more rumbustious take on Purcell, but Meunier’s lighter touch is well judged. Some other recordings feature more obviously starry singers, but Vox Luminis fields a likeable array of mostly light, period voices, who live up to the enchantment of their setting. Purcell’s music is so irrepressibly tuneful and imaginative. How could anybody go wrong?
