About This Song
About "King Arthur, Z. 628 (Suckling/McCreesh Edition), Act III: Song – Sound a Parley (Cupid & Cold Genius)" by Ashley Riches
Purcell's frosty masque gets a crisp, theatrical reading. Ashley Riches embodies the Cold Genius with a shiver, while the parley between Cupid and winter's sprite crackles with Baroque wit. The orchestration glistens like ice, yet beneath the formality lies a playful, human warmth.
