Earlier today I was inspired by Simon to listen to recordings of Purcell's music:
Henry Purcell
Dido and Aenas Opera in three acts (Highlights)
Emily Van Evira (Dido), Ben Parry (Aenas), Haden Andrews (Sorceress)
Taverner Choir and Players
Andrew Parrott conducting.
This is very enjoyable and is very easy to listen to.

I listened to Emma Kirkby in the same repertoire. I'm really chuffed that I inspired you to listen to Purcell. Facebook is good for something!Seán wrote:Earlier today I was inspired by Simon to listen to recordings of Purcell's music:

In a Beethoven mood, Symphonies 6, 8 and 4 are on deck. Cluytens/Berlin to start... may mix in some others later.
