Bass and conductor Lionel Meunier and his acclaimed ensemble Vox Luminis reveal how Purcell managed to delight and surprise Queen Mary with festive birthday wishes in his Birthday Odes. Trumpets, exquisite choral work and an exuberant call to the people to join in the celebrations… more than enough to guarantee a lavish party.
