Rondeau in Abdelazar

Here is the Rondeau from Henry Purcell's Abdelazar, which was the opening item from a recital I played in Sydney last year.  The programme consisted of works by composers marking anniversaries of birth or death in 2009, and included a couple of pieces that are not frequently heard in Australia, such as the Prelude and Fugue in d minor by Mendelssohn, and the even rarer final movement of Basil Harwood's Sonata in C#.  I hope to have the latter loaded up here in a few days.
