"Close Thine Eyes" is a work written by Henry Purcell, a British composer who lived from 1659 to 1695. This piece comes from an album of the same title, released by the Stradivarius label. In this performance, we can hear outstanding artists: Joanna Klisowska as soprano, Peter Kooij as bass, Pietro Prosser playing the archlute and baroque lute, Cristiano Contadina on viola da gamba, and Lorenzo Feder on harpsichord and positive organ. The composition is sublime and full of emotions characteristic of the Baroque period. Purcell is considered one of the greatest composers of his time and is a leading representative of English Baroque music. "Close Thine Eyes" is a work with a distinct form and melodies that become richer thanks to the excellent interpretation by Klisowska and Kooij. Prosser's archlute and baroque lute, Contadina's viola da gamba, and Feder's harpsichord and positive organ give the piece a unique character and depth. The photos from this wonderful concert were taken by Jakub Boski and Michał Siergiejewicz, who skillfully captured the magic of the music through their frames. This work is a great example of the excellence and unforgettable beauty of Baroque music. Henry Purcell created a masterpiece that continues to delight and move listeners around the world. I highly recommend listening to this piece and exploring the richness that the music of this wonderful composer brings.
The wonderful performance of the piece "Close Thine Eyes" by Henry Purcell is truly beautiful. Joanna Klisowska, the soprano, sings fantastically; her voice is incredibly beautiful and expressive. Peter Kooij, the bass, also performs his role perfectly. The entire performance is very well balanced, the baroque instruments sound exceptionally beautiful and add an incredible charm to the piece. The visuals are also great, showcasing the beauty of the music as well as the talent of the performers. This version of the piece "Close Thine Eyes" is definitely worth noting and deserves great popularity among young listeners.
