Review by Varij Kapil

The album "Music For Queen Mary Musique Pour La Reine Mary" by Henry Purcell, John Eliot Gardiner, Monteverdi Choir, Monteverdi Orchestra, and Equale Brass Ensemble is a stunning tribute to the great Queen Mary. The album features some of Purcell's most beautiful works, including "Funeral Sentences," "Pavane in G minor," and "Chaconne in G minor."

The Monteverdi Choir and Orchestra, under the direction of John Eliot Gardiner, deliver a flawless performance, capturing the essence of Purcell's music with precision and passion. The Equale Brass Ensemble adds a rich and powerful sound to the mix, enhancing the grandeur of the compositions.
