Welcome to Audiophilia. We publish honest and accurate reviews of high end audio equipment and music.
Canada’s Clearaudio distributor, has been very generous with me in the loan of high end cartridges. They import great analogue equipment of all types, and when I review any of their turntables I usually get (ask/beg) for a superstar cartridge. One such example was the second in line to the Clearaudio cartridge throne, the magnificent Titanium.
Without apology, the review that follows will be an unreserved rave! Essential Purcell is a sampler of selections from Hyperion Records' comprehensive survey of the works of Henry Purcell. Purcell's music, much of it hitherto unknown to me, makes an indelible impression as he casts spell after spell in the popular and religious musical forms of the 17th century. I believe the music is essential listening whether secular or devotional. With quality such as this, it is no wonder Purcell was a star of the compositional firmament during the Restoration.
