Michael Daugherty evokes Woody Guthrie -- and more
I've said in previous reviews that Michael Daugherty is a national treasure. And this release adds credence to that argument.

New Purcell by Harry Christophers and The Sixteen most welcome
Bottom line. If you enjoyed Volume One, you'll find Volume Two of equal quality. Also, if you've enjoyed any of the Sixteen's previous Purcell releases on Coro, you'll definitely want to add this to your library.
