Restoration Musical Theatre,
By B. Marold "Bruce W. Marold" (Bethlehem, PA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Indian Queen (Audio CD)
'The Indian Queen' with music by Henry Purcell strikes me like so much of Purcell's other music. It always reminds me of the 'Masterpiece Theatre' theme with great pomp and circumstance, but weak on musical value. That is, until the arias! They are still no match for the great German or Italian arias, and they are just a bit tinny, like so much English music (except the works of the German Handel), but this is still good stuff.
The plot is almost entirely inconsequential, as it is pure fantasy. The work's greatest value to the casual listener is that it is a great exemplar of English Restoration musical theatre, which seemed to have a lot more in common with American musical theatre than the operas by continental composers. A facinating piece from a neglected corner of musical history.
