Purcell: Dido & Aeneas

這是由音樂總監David Bates率領古樂界享譽盛名的La Nuova Musica (新音樂合奏團)所錄製的普賽爾歌曲:狄多與阿尼亞斯全曲錄音.

EMOTIONAL DEPTH AND EVOCATIVE POWER: THE PERFECT ENGLISH OPERA

La Nuova Musica and its artistic director David Bates present Henry Purcell’s most widely admired work Dido and Aeneas. With Nathum Tate’s libretto based on Virgil’s Aeneid Book IV, Dido and Aeneas is a miniature opera, as well as the only all-sung opera Purcell ever composed.
Constantly juxtaposing different moods, colours, orchestrations, this semi-opera enjoys the popularity for its “tunefulness, evocative power, and […] its conciseness”. The guiding star that David Bates wants to follow for this recording is making sure that Purcell’s Italian, French, and English musical influences are all emphasized – by adding a typically Italian harp to the continuo or by doubling the strings with winds in the French tradition. Dido and Aeneas includes one of the most touching operatic laments “When I am laid in earth”.
