About
Henry Purcell was an English composer who should be regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time but is also one of the most underrated composers ever. Although incorporating Italian and French stylistic elements into his compositions, Purcell's legacy was a uniquely English form of Baroque music. No later native-born English composer approached his fame until Edward Elgar, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst and Benjamin Britten in the 20th century.
