every known combination of voices and instruments, it ranges from opera to quite small pieces. The great wealth of beauty and, above all, the utter sincerity of all that Purcell wrote, are being more and more recognised, and it is quite safe to prophesy that his place of honour in England’s music is for all time assured. 8.35 Recordings: Temianka (violin solos), "Chant De Roxane" Szymanowski "Romance, Op. 23" Szymanowski 8.44 John McCormack (tenor), "La Procession " Cesar Franck Panis Angelicus " Cesar Franck 8.48 Felix Weingartner, conducting the London Philharmonic Orchestra, "Eleven Viennese Dances" — Beethoven 9.
