Dido and Aeneas Z 626 (Oper in 3 Akten) (Gesamtaufnahme) Purcell, Henry Ouvertüre Shake the cloud - Banish sorrow (1. Akt) Ah! Belinda Grief increases by concealing - When monarchs unite - When could so much virtue spring Fear no danger - See, your royal guest appears Cupid only throws the dart - If not for mine for empire's sake - Persue thy conquest Love To the hills and the vales - The triumphing dance Prelude for the witches (2. Akt) Wayward sisters - Harm's our delight The queen of Carthage - Ho, ho, ho Ruined ere the set of sun! - The Trojan prince - Ho, ho, ho But ere we this perform - In our deep vaulted cell - Tenz The grove - Thanks to these lonesome vales Gitter ground at dance - Often she visits Behold, apon my bending spear - The skies are coloured - Haste haste to town Stay Prince The sailors dance (3. Akt) See, see the flags - Our next motion - Destruction's our delight The witches' dance Your counsel all is urged in vain - Great minds Thy hand Belinda When I am laid With drooping wings

Soloists: Fleur Barron, Matthew Brook, Giulia Semenzato, Avery Amereau, Tim Mead, Nicky Spence, Hilary Cronin, Helen Charlston, Martha McLorinan // Constantly juxtaposing different moods, colours, orchestrations, this semi-opera enjoys the popularity for its "tunefulness, evocative power, and [...] its conciseness". Bates wants to make sure that Purcell's Italian, French, and English musical influences are all emphasized.
