Free Music Notes for Purcell: Dido And Aeneas

Free Music Review: Leppard's Purcell
Hit: 4 Stars

This never seems to make it into any "top" lists of this very dramatic short opera. I have heard the famous Janet Baker/Anthony Lewis recording for Decca. It is a fine version which I recommend. But it simply isn't as colourful as this one. Jessye Norman is a perfectly wonderful Dido. Perhaps not as moving in `drooping wings' as Janet Baker, but still in strong competition. Leppard directs better too. Anthony Lewis had a more plain-sounding orchestra, and the sound wasn't as opulent.
Four Stars.
