Excerpt:O Ravishing Delight

The extraordinary voice of Alfred Deller “seemed to belong to a weightless world, a voice of crystal, effortlessly stretched out to the limits of the possible, without vibration, giving the impression of belonging to another universe in which the spirit would sing without the heaviness of the flesh” (Jean-François Labie). It was in the field of the English Renaissance song that Deller’s artistry found its most perfect expression, distilling the peculiar melancholy of this inexhaustible repertoire in a manner which has never been equaled.
