Free Music Notes for Purcell: Dido and Aeneas

Free Music Review: Exquisite Dido and Aeneas
Hit: 5 Stars

Susan Graham's performance of Dido is rich-toned, expressive--all you could ask for. The rest of the cast is also superb in this wonderful recording directed Emmanuelle Haim.

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 Levine
