Release Information
* William Boyce (1711-1779) was the leading English composer of the late Baroque, equally at home in church and theatre music.
* His 8 Symphonies of 1760 are characteristically tuneful and appealing works.
"Marriner treats these superb examples of English baroque to exhilarating performances, with the rhythmic subtleties in both fast and slow guaranteed to enchant ...the recording has plenty of ambience.” The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs
