Pressestimmen
P. Schwankner in HiFiVision 10 / 89:"Henry Pur- cell schuf mit "Dido and Aenas" eine der schönsten Barock-Opern, die mich mit ihren energischen Chorliedern, beschwingten Tänzen und gefühlsintensiven Arien auch nach 300 Jahren noch zu fesseln vermag. Das auf Ba- rockmusik spezialisierte Spitzen-Ensemble The English Concert befaßt sich einfühlsam und spritzig mit dem Meisterwerk." (zu Dido)
