The first recording with this new super-group marks the 350th birthday of Henry Purcell. This recording explores the timeless beauty of Purcell's ten sonatas including the magnificent Sonata IX, known as 'The Golden Sonata'.

The Ten Sonatas in Four Parts (published after Purcell's death in 1697) provide a fascinating insight into the cosmopolitan and often conflicting stylistic tastes of English musicians in the latter part of the seventeenth century. Purcell blends the significant French, Italian and English influences including unique use of counterpoint, unusual and exotic dissonances and strikingly abrupt melodic changes of direction.

Purcell: Ten Sonatas in Four Parts is a fitting tribute to Purcell by four superstar Baroque instrumentalists and the first recording in the highly anticipated Retrospect Ensemble series. Retrospect Trio are: Sophie Gent violin, Matthew Truscott violin, Jonathan Manson bass viol and Matthew Halls harpsichord & organ.
