Purcell: Royal Welcome Songs for King Charles II, Volume II. Album by The SixteenAlbum Description King Charles II liked to project a strong, stable, divinely legitimated image. Whilst that image had no basis in reality, the scale of his deception and financial skulduggery did not emerge until 19th century historians discovered secret treaty documents between Charles and King Louis XIV of France. Purcell had no idea of course, and so all of the music on this album celebrates the political triumphs that he and his colleagues

And so to mark its 40th year the group has return to its grass roots in an album that celebrates those passions
