The singing is good, but perhaps a little underpowered & Pinnock's conducting is stylish & lively. There is an excellent note by Anthony Hicks,& a synopsis but no text. The great scene in the work is the one where the writing appears on the wall. Alas, there is an unnecessary disc change in the middle of it, completely destroying the flow.

Having recently acquired the accompanying DVD on import, I must say I am looking forward immensely to purchasing the CD set as well and am particularly interested in hearing the extended versions as referred to by the previous reviewer. On the DVD, both OM I & II come across as raw, powerful yet melodic pieces with, consummate performances from all members of the band as you would expect. The live `energy' of the band ensures that OM II grabs you more so than on the studio album. Having seen Pamela Moore on the 2004 tour when they played OM I complete, the development of her contributions certainly compliment Geoff's vocals throughout this production and enhance the overall sound. Mike Stone looks and sounds comfortable in ... Read More:

I received this from Amazon UK a week ago and am very pleased with it. It is beautifully recorded and all the solo singers adhere to the pure vibrato-free style of the period. The historical orchestra is well balanced with some delectable archlutes and theorbos to the fore, and the choir is precise with good diction and tuning. A full libretto is enclosed (unusual at mid-price nowadays) with two scholarly essays about the sources used and decisions made in constructing the performance. I didn't find the sound effects as intrusive as my fellow reviewer. All in all I think Purcell himself would have relished this performance and would recommend it to anyone seeking a first version of the opera.

Henry Purcell's (1659-1695) opera "Dido and Aeneas" tells, in approximately one hour, of the frustrated passion of Dido, queen of Carthage, for the Trojan hero Aeneas, whose destiny it is to found Rome. The opera is based upon Virgil's Aeneid with a highly compressed libretto by Nahum Tate. Purcell's opera includes three parts for women and only one, Aeneas, for a male. The brief opera is in three Acts. According to "The New Grove Book of Operas", Purcell based his work on an earlier English opera, "Venus and Adonis" by John Blow. With its heavy emphasis on dance and chorus, "Dido and Aeneas" also draws heavily on French baroque opera. This reissue of a 1961 recording of a young Janet Baker in the role of Dido is an outstanding way ... Read More:
