“… Not just the music, but tenor Nicholas Mulroy’s glorious singing, the diction clear, the phrasing natural, the voice supple and multi-hued. Just listen to Purcell’s ‘By beauteous softness’, its affective languor contrasting with Mulroy’s crisp dramatization of the composer’s ‘In the black dismal dungeon of despair’… Toby Carr… and Elizabeth Kenny … transcend stylistic categories to being surprising colours, expressive textures and a wistful intimacy to the songs, whether solo or together. The aptly names quartet of strings Music for a While aren’t heard often enough. But when they are, as in the Purcell ritornelli, their eloquence is dazzling.”
