Purcell Choir
The Purcell Choir is a Hungarian early music ensemble founded in 1992 by conductor György Vashegyi, specializing in Baroque and Classical-era works with a focus on historically informed performances. Based in Budapest, they’ve become celebrated for reviving lesser-known French Baroque operas, sacred music, and dramatic works, often collaborating with period-instrument group Orfeo Orchestra. Their recent releases—like Leclair’s *Scylla et Glaucus* and Rameau’s *Les Boréades*—showcase their flair for bringing vivid theatricality to 18th-century repertoire, while projects like Stölzel’s *Ein Lämmlein geht* highlight their versatility in sacred choral works. With a knack for unearthing hidden gems (check their fiery take on Lemoyne’s *Phèdre*!), they’ve built a reputation as adventurous custodians of early music, blending scholarly rigor with expressive energy. Their recordings frequently grace labels like Glossa and Accent, making them a go-to for Baroque enthusiasts craving both precision and drama.
