Our Take

Buckle up, music lovers, because Christina Pluhar and her band L'Arpeggiata are about to take you on a wild ride with their latest offering, "Purcell/Music For A While". This album is like a musical time capsule, transporting you straight to the 17th century with a modern twist that will leave you tapping your toes and scratching your head in equal measure.

Pluhar's innovative arrangements breathe new life into Purcell's timeless compositions, blending Baroque instrumentation with a hint of jazz and a dash of folk. The result is a genre-bending sonic experience that is as unpredictable as it is captivating. From the hauntingly beautiful "Dido's Lament" to the toe-tapping groove of "Strike The Viol", each track on this album is a musical rollercoaster that will keep you guessing until the very last note.

But what truly sets "Purcell/Music For A While" apart is the impeccable musicianship of L'Arpeggiata. Each member of the band brings their own unique flair to the table, creating a dynamic and electrifying sound that is impossible to resist. Pluhar's virtuosic lute playing is a highlight throughout, weaving intricate melodies that dance and soar with a sense of freedom and abandon.

So, if you're looking for an album that will challenge your preconceptions about classical music, look no further than "Purcell/Music For A While". L'Arpeggiata have once again proven themselves to be true musical alchemists, turning the past into the present with style and panache. Trust us, you won't want to miss out on this one.
