Free Music Review: One of the greats
Hit: 5 Stars
From Allmusic.com where it got 4.5/5 for both performance and sound
Wild, passionate, and over in less than an hour, Purcell's Dido and Aeneas is one of the greatest operas ever composed and it has received some of the greatest performances of any opera ever recorded. And while some of them have been sung with more refinement or more fervor, few can match this performance with Susan Graham as Dido and Ian Bostridge as Aeneas for wild passion. Bostridge, always a passionate interpreter, tears into Aeneas with more excitement than he's brought to any other role, filling his Aeneas with strength, dedication, dignity, and overwhelming passion. And Graham, always an ardent and brilliant performer, is more affecting than any Dido since de Los Angeles, filling her Dido with warmth, love, sensuality, and overwhelming passion. The rest of the singers are all excellent, but Felicity Lott is superlative as an uncanny Sorceress and David Daniels is superb as a strange spirit. Emmanuelle Haim directs a dramatic performance from the harpsichord and Le Concert d'Astr?e provides a vivid and evocative accompaniment. Virgin's sound is intimate in the intimate sections, huge in the big sections, and incredibly effective. Anyone who loves Dido and Aeneas, or even just great opera, will love this disc.
Purcell: Dido and Aeneas Poster
This new, period instrument version of Purcell's wonderful, brief Dido and Aeneas shows up in a very crowded field. There are close to two dozen other versions available, many of them also historically informed. Here we have a dignified, beautifully sung reading, with instrumentalists performing with a similar sense of loveliness and reserve; indeed, the only time true overt emotionalism shows up is when the witches appear: Felicity Palmer is a nasty handful as the Sorceress. Susan Graham's Dido is elegant and, note-for-note, probably gives us among the best Didos on disc. Ian Bostridge's Aeneas is good without being outstanding; David Daniels and Paul Agnew make remarkable cameos. I prefer the performance led by Ren? Jacobs or starring Janet Baker to this one for sheer drama, but you can't go wrong with Graham, et al, under Emmanuelle Haim's intensely musical leadership either. --Robert LevineClassical Music CDs
