McNair's gracile voice and accurate, easy-going coloratura capture the lyricism of Purcell's songs, but none of the subtext's vibrant passion. Emotional variety and vocal color are lacking when she repeatedly calls for Gabriel in \"Tell Me, Some Pitying Angel.\" Still, McNair's light and pure soprano is enjoyable in small doses. When three or four plaintiff songs are programmed back to back, however, the monotony presents a fabulous opportunity to lull insomniacs back to sleep. --Barbara Eisner Bayer\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0000041BF\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0000041BF.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Paul O'Dette|Laurence Dreyfus|Sylvia McNair|Henry Purcell|Christopher Hogwood|The Academy of Ancient Music\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
