Biographie

Purcell, der »Orpheus britannicus«, war Sohn eines Mitglieds der um 1660 errichteten Sängerkapelle Karls II. (Chapel Royal). Er erhielt seine Ausbildung als Chorknabe derselben Kapelle durch deren Vorsteher Henry Cooke († 1672) und dessen Nachfolger Pelham Humfrey (1647–1674). Nach Humfreys Tod setzte er seine Ausbildung bei John Blow und Matthew Locke (1621/22–1677) fort. Read more on Last.fm
