5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent find, February 1, 2005
This review is from: Purcell - Dido & Aeneas / Pudwell · Harvey · Haller · Le Concert Sprituel · Niquet (Audio CD)
I was very pleased with this recording and listen to it often. Purcell was a great composer and Niquet has the right touch to bring the musicalitiy of Purcell's work to the fore. Aside from the excellent recording and musicianship, the opera itself is short and entertaining, full of bigger than life heroes, lovers, and bad guys and a coven of witches to boot! The opera ends on a sorrowful tune from the chorus, evoking a melancholy and lovely sadness only known to the late Renaissance and early baroque period.
