Music reviews of Purcell: The Fairy Queen

Music Review: A reference for Baroque music interpretation
Rating: 5 Stars

Dantone is first a cembalo player, then a conductor.
This performance demonstrates how a good baroque orchestra, professional soloists, and a precise chorus can play true baroque music with intensity and expression, under the conduction of a real "maestro".
Listen, enjoy, keep your breath when the group start playing fast but light, precise but relaxed...
The last track is playing, the opera ends, but - what happens? Handclaps?? This perfection was not built in a studio, it is live music!!
Compare it to another beautiful interpretation, Chritophers' one(ASIN: B000063TRK).
