The cordial welcome which greeted the first volume of Vanguard’s reissued recordings of Alfred Deller and his consort (3/09) can now be extended to the second. This comprises works by Purcell, the composer most closely associated with Deller, and consists of six CDs, well packaged and with a CD-Rom giving access to more detailed information. The first two present a mixed programme of songs, duets and instrumental pieces. The third has a complete performance of Dido and Aeneas conducted by Deller and recorded in 1965. The remaining discs include the Odes to St Cecilia, Come, ye Sons of Art and music for the Masque in Dioclesian, the whole collection ending with Blow’s Ode on the Death of Mr Henry Purcell.

In his middle and later years Deller habitually lightened notes above the centre of his range, so that his style became somewhat predictable and the evenness of his production somewhat impaired. That accounts for main differences between these later performances of such “signature” pieces as “Music for a While” and “Sweeter than Roses”: the purity of tone, the extraordinary resonance of lower and middle notes, the technical skill and sensitivity of his singing all remain. As a conductor, he had difficulties, and it cannot be claimed that the Dido is a success. Some stodgy speeds and sluggish rhythms, a pantomime coven of witches, a Dido lacking nobility of tone and an Aeneas out of oratorio make it hard for other contributions (most notably Helen Watts’s sorceress) to have their due effect. Still, no doubt the best way of avoiding disappointment is to be prepared for it.
