Perfectly poised for all the Royal sentiments in the air for the forthcoming Royal Wedding, Music All Powerful - Music to entertain Queen Victoria provides a delightful flashback of the British Royal Family and is the first release on CD of a delightful Argo LP. Music To Entertain Queen Victoria It offers solo songs, unaccompanied and accompanied choral songs and a handful of instrumental numbers such as would have been performed for and during Queen Victoria's reign. Music To Entertain Queen Victoria The Purcell Consort of Voices under Grayston Burgess are joined by a group of instrumental soloists, including the superb violinist Iona Brown, with pianist Jennifer Partridge both accompanying and playing a Mendelssohn Song without Words and a Chaminade piece. For bringing back songs from obscurity alone this is a worthy CD. But it also recalls obscure composers like Pinsuti, Klos , Beale, Galkin, Walmisley and Callcott and an obscure instrument - the ophicleide (the instrument Mendelssohn wanted for Bottom's braying in the Midsummer Night's Dream over.
