Product Information

The legendary recording of a legendary work.
It was with Henry Purcell, the greatest of 17th century English composers that the semi-opera, that specifically English genre, reached its apogee. With it a work like _King Arthur _and its famous ‘Song of the cold’ became one of the most famous compositions of the Baroque stage. This recording, conducted in 1978 by Alfred Deller, has become an enduring milestone in the history of the gramophone record.
This title was released for the first time in 1979

Press comments

A. Beaujean in Hifi-Stereophonie 6 / 79:"Die bunte Folge von Orchesterstücken, kleinen Arien, Chören, Ensembles, Tänzen und Liedern ist dank Purcells Einfallsreichtum eine amüsante Sache. ..Die Wiedergabe unter Alfred Deller zeichnet sich durch ein hohes Maß an anspringender Lebendigkeit aus."
