About Hear My Prayer, O Lord, Z. 15

"Hear my prayer, O Lord" is surely the most sublime of Purcell's anthems. This version is possibly a little slow, but the surprising dissonance and ever increasing tension of the piece are rendered with exquisite clarity. If you've not experienced Purcell before - lock the door, take the phone off the hook, and let this wash over you... .
