Programme

Overview

A major work by Purcell from a leading period ensemble whose recording of the 1691 ‘dramatick opera’ received extraordinary praise from BBC Music Magazine, which hailed ‘a giddy triumph for its artists. Blazing their way through the score, the performers set a new benchmark, delivering a production that’s equally gutsy and gorgeous … Director Lionel Meunier is the real star, with a soaring vision of Purcell’s music in a class of its own.’
