Rezensionen

I. Allihn in FonoForum 6/95: "Faszinierende musikalische Deutung. William Christie ist mit Purcells Oeuvre bestens vertraut. Entsprechend tief lotet er mir seinem ungemein differenziert und einfühlsam musizierenden Ensemble die Partitur aus. Veronique Gens ist eine absolut über- zeugende, stimmlich virtuose Dido. Ebenbürtig steht ihr Nathan Berg mit seinem nuancenreichen Baßbariton als Aeneas zur Seite. Auch alle anderen Gesangspartien werden klangschön gestaltet. Die in sich sehr ausgewogene Aufnahme hinter- läßt einen überaus erfreulichen Gesamteindruck."

1 Ouverture (1. Akt)
2 Shake the cloud from off your brow, Fate your wishes does allow
3 Ah Belinda, I am prest with torment not to be confest
4 Grief increases by concealing - Mine admits of no revealing - When monarchs unite, how happy their state...
5 Whence could so much virtue spring?
6 Fear no danger to ensue, the Hero loves as well as you
7 See, your royal guest appears; how godlike is the form he bears! - Cupid only throws the dart...

10 Prelude for the witches - Wayward sisters, you that fright the lonely traveller - Harm's our delight... (2. Akt)
11 The Queen fo Carthage... - Ho ho ho! - Ruin'd ere the set of sun? Tell us, how shall this be done? - Ho ho ho!
12 But ere we this perform, we'll conjure up a storm
13 In our deep vaulted cell - Echo dance of the furies
14 Ritornelle - Thanks to these lonesome vales, these desert hills and dales
15 Oft she visits this lov'd mountain, oft she bath's her in this fountain
16 Behold, upon my bending spear a monster's head stands bleeding - Haste, haste to town, this open field no shelter...
17 Stay, Prince, an hear great Jove's command; he summons thee this night away
18 Then since our charms have sped, a merry, merry dance be led by the nymphs of Carthage to please us - The grove's dance
19 Come away, fellow sailors, your anchors be weighing - The sailor's dance (2. Akt)
20 See, see the flags and streams curling - Our next motion must be to storm her lover on the ocean
21 Destruction's our delight, delight our greates sorrow
22 The witches' dance
23 Your counsel all is urg'd in vain
24 Great minds against themselves conspire, and shun the cure they most desire - Thy hand, Belinda, darkness shades me
25 When I am laid in earth, may my wrongs create no trouble in thy breast
26 With drooping wings ye Cupids come, to scatter roses on her tomb

33 I call you all to Woden's Hall
