Music reviews of Purcell: Dido & Aeneas / King Arthur / Dioclesian / Timon of Athens / 3 Odes
Music Review: Fine Purcell from Pinnock and EC
Rating: 5 Stars
I greatly enjoyed this reissue of several Purcell stage works and choral
odes originally released on Archiv Produktion some years back. As is ty-
pical of Pinnock/English Concert the performances and intepretations are
refined and elegant but certainly not without being lively and even fiery
when needed (Listen to King Arthur in particular). My only minor complaint
is that the Performance of Dido and Aeneas could have been a bit more fiery and involved (others may find this approach to their liking) but the
playing and singing are nonetheless glorious esp. Anne Sophie von Otter's
Dido. The other stage works and the odes are given brilliant, extroverted
interpretations (Ex. Come, Ye Sons of Art). My only complaint was the lack of sung texts in the booklet - maybe they assumed it was not needed because of the English texts? Still,this is a shortcoming that betrays the
otherwise fine presenatation. Despite this,however, I heartily recommend
snapping up this issue before it disappears.
