Purcell: Dido and Aeneas (CD)
$12.95
Reissued to mark Colin Davis’s 80th birthday, this sublime Philips recording of Dido and Aeneas makes a welcome return to the catalogue. The honeyed sound of its protagonists – Josephine Veasey (whom Colin Davis also chose as the Dido for his recording of Berlioz’s ‘Les Troyens’) and John Shirley-Quirk – is offset by a chaste-sounding Helen Donath and a superbly characterised Sorceress from Bainbridge.
