    This CD, Brotherly Love: The Music of Daniel Purcell, is a welcome addition to anyone's collection of the more obscure side of English baroque recordings. The instrumental tracks in particular are well recorded and beautifully played. One has to commend Colin Booth the builder of the harpsichord used for the Dm Suite in particular.

    My only slight criticism is for the sometimes overly dramatic performances and liberties takes by soprano Evelyn Tubbs. For the most part these are held in check, but at other times one gets the idea that she didn't think the music written by Purcell was interesting enough without her "additions" of vocal scoops and slides.

    The other thing I question is the a cappella version of the first song on the recording. I don't know whether this can be considered a "period" possibility, but I have a hard time believing that Purcell didn't originally write this piece with a full bassline and continuo part.

    That said though this is definitely a worthy listen for everyone.
