Les Arts Florissants/ William Christie |
| | Description: | The collaboration of the poet John Dryden and Henry Purcell marked a conspicuous leap forward for English opera. Their greatest project, King Arthur, is a five-act â??dramatick operaâ??, the text of which had its origins in a patriotic musical play Dryden had written in 1684 but which he radically overhauled. The result was a work that appealed to the audienceâ??s enthusiasm for fine costumes, lavish sets, ingenious stage machinery and a cast of singers, dancers and instrumentalists, containing vocal show-stoppers such as the imperishable Frost Scene and Fairest isle. This critically acclaimed staging uses a new performing edition by René Jacobs, and is sung in English with German dialogue. - LES ARTS FLORISSANTS/WILLIAM CHRISTIEThis recording was made following performances of 'King Arthur' in Paris (Théâtre du Châtelet) in February 1995.
Recorded 21-22 & 25-26 February 1995, salle Berthier, Paris.
