Music reviews of Purcell: The Fairy Queen (Abridged); Dido & Aeneas

Music Review: Dido and Aeneus Personal Review
Rating: 5 Stars

This Cd was magnificent. Purcell's composing was directed well and had all the right components to accompany the singing. I have just been exposed to an Opera piece I am pleased with. I was exposed from a friend who took a Music Appreciation class. The singing was calm and soothing unlike other operas which are loud and proclaiming. I immediately fell in love with Dido and Aeneus. For any opera enthusiasts, I would highly recommend this CD.
