Henry Purcell. Sweeter than roses. Olga Nazaykinskaya

Henry Purcell "Sweeter than roses"
performed by Olga Nazaykinskaya, soprano
basso continuo: Anastassia Kornilova, harpsichord Alexandra Drozdova, bass viol
recorded in 2001, July 4 at Prechistenka concert hall

Sweeter than roses, or cool evening breeze
On a warm flowery shore, was the dear kiss,
First trembling made me freeze,
Then shot like fire all o'er.
What magic has victorious love!
For all I touch or see since that dear kiss,
I hourly prove, all is love to me.

Rose photos by me, paintings by François Boucher, Orazio Gentileschi, Francesco Hayes, Jan Davidsz de Heemj, sir Frank Dicksee (all paintings are in public domain)
