Get Hogwood's's rendition on original instruments with singers well-
versed in pre-operatic style, including the incomparable Emma Kirkby,
soprano.  It's so refreshing to hear real pitches instead of the
semitone (or worse) wavers so inappropriately called "bel canto".
All the harmonies and rich texture of those beatific suspensions
shine right through.
