Music reviews of Purcell: Dido and Aeneas
Music Review: Agincourt II: The French Win
Rating: 5 Stars
When a friend recently mentioned how much he'd enjoyed a recent session of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, I decided to add the album to my MP3 music library. The difficult question was: which version? English, or French? After comparing the English Concert's take with Emmanuelle Haim's sensational performance, however, the choice became clear. Ms. Haim has lifted an opera, often interpreted in a formal and somber way, skyward to the heavens, but replete with conflict and shading that is entirely appropriate to this ancient material. That is, she's created a living and breathing love story with a sonic richness that does full justice to Virgil's glorious passages.
Yes, the denouement of the story is a tearjerker, but some say it's better to have loved and lost than to have not loved at all. And you'll love this glorious French rendition; it's a superior effort.

Description of Purcell: Dido and Aeneas
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 LevineGeneral CDs
