Le testament musical d'un compositeur disparu bien trop tôt. Publiées un an après sa mort, les huit suites pour clavier de Henry Purcell sont restées longtemps dans l'ombre de ses oeuvres les plus célèbres. Héritières d'un esprit typically British, elles oscillent avec une délicieuse désinvolture entre humour et gravité, comme les Grounds tout en élégance choisis ici par Richard Egarr pour leur faire écho.
