Description |
"Restoration dramatic opera is notoriously difficult to present on the concert platform: Purcell's astonishing music was an integral part of an art-form that also fused drama, dance, and lavish theatrical effects.Tonight's performing idition encapsulates Gabrieli's desire to create a version which offers a convincing musical experience, albeit one that is stripped of much of its surrounding narrative." |
