Popis
Purcell is well represented on Naxos, both in quality recordings/performances, and unbeatable prices. Here is a lively,characterful and remarkably authentic sounding account of Purcell's very loose re-working of Midsummer Night's Dream. The singing is almost exclusively high-quality, infused with character and humour, with a deceptively live and spontaneous feel. The orchestration has an earthily authentic quality which suggests period instruments such as viols, though none are credited. If you want a warm, spontaneous-sounding, beautiful dollop of Purcell's songs and instrumental music, you can't possibly go wrong here: it provides a similar comfort factor to dark chocolate. Sink into it, and enjoy!
