With Nathum Tate's libretto based on Virgil's Aeneid Book IV; Dido and Aeneas is a miniature opera; as well as the only all-sung opera Purcell ever composed. Constantly juxtaposing different moods; colours; orchestrations; this semi-opera enjoys the popularity for it's \"tunefulness; evocative power; and [...] it's conciseness\". The guiding star that David Bates wants to follow for this recording is making sure that Purcell's Italian; French; and English musical influences are all emphasized - by adding a typically Italian harp to the continuo or by doubling the strings just as in the French tradition. Dido and Aeneas includes one of the most touching operatic laments \"When I am laid in earth\". A cast of first-class singers with strong musical personalities offer an eclectic interpretation together with a chorus that creates a visceral and intrinsically dramatic soundworld. Dido and Aeneas is David Bates and La Nuova Musica's fourth release; after the acclaimed Gluck Orfeo and Euridice (2019) and Handel's Unsung Heroes (2021); as well as Beauteous Softness (2023) where they joined forces with Tim Mead. Counter-tenor Tim Mead previously released Pentatone's Handel Messiah (2020) with Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin. Star tenor Nicky Spence; Fleur Barron; Matthew Brook; Giulia Semenzato all make their Pentatone debut.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 8717306260329\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Pentatone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46984064532701,"sku":"8717306260329","price":124.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4237976-3144839.jpg?v=1762926624","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/zh-cn\/products\/purcell-brook-la-nuova-musica-dido-aeneas","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
