Composer: Henry Purcell
Artists: Musica Ad Rhenum, Musica Ad Rhenum Choir, Jed Wentz
Available on SACD, Purcell's Didi and Aeneas. It is an exciting interpretation, recorded shortly after Musica ad Rhenum had given a very well-received performance of it, during for the highly critical audience of the Utrecht Early Music Festival. All orchestra parts are played by single (period) instruments clearly exposing the structure of the music. The leader of the ensemble, Baroque specialist Jed Wentz, has reconstructed this opera, adding some “new” pieces by Purcell. These are mainly dances mentioned in the libretto but missing in the manuscripts.

When I was about 5, I found a CD on a shelf in our house. I put it in the CD player and saw it had 31 tracks. This fascinated me, because it was higher than any other CD. I then begged and pleaded to go to the CD shop (the last one in town, which closed 2004) to find the CD with the most tracks of all. After much searching, I found one that had 41 tracks. I bought it with my pocket money. It was a CD of this opera.
Being 5 years old, I was very open-minded, and even though it was a 1600s opera, I instantly fell in love with it. The music. It was unlike anything I'd heard before. I listened to it again and again and again. In the car. In my bedroom. In my CD player that came on holiday with me. It was only an hour so didn't take long to listen to all of it.
This CD was with me when I broke my arm age 6. It got me through that whole ordeal. It was my favourite. I'd listened to it so many times I could hum every single track.
And throughout all of this... I never, NEVER realised these songs are in English. I literally ALWAYS thought they were in some foreign language.
What a lovely story. Thanks for sharing it.
Definitely my favourite opera !!! I love it and always cry at the end...
Dido and Aeneas is definitely one of my favorite operas as well as one of the most influential for the genre. Purcell was a real genius at his craft as a composer!
Definitely agreed
i love this opera, and love Purcell for many reasons: but i don't recall reading about this opera being influential at the time it was written - can you provide a reference for me?
@@jamberstone1 my bad, that was a mistake on my part. You're right, this opera gained very little attention during Purcell's lifetime, only being adapted and revived a few times after its premiere in 1689 (by Thomas Betterton in 1700 and in a separate 1704 revival)
He’s always good, or (more often) better. A true craftsman.
Try "Il diluvio universale" (Falvetti). I bet you will also like it.
La delicatezza di questa esecuzione rende questo capolavoro di Purcell ancor più coinvolgente e, a tratti, commovente. Grazie a tutti.
Incredible how some parts already sound like British pop music!
I am French, and I am glad to say that Britt's humour and music are amazing( I also love the food!).
C'est exactement ce que je me suis dit hier en écoutant son Roi Arthur !
Moi aussi!
No, vabbè... il cibo proprio no! Da italiano sono autorizzato a considerare il cibo inglese semplicemente orribile.

Bravo to all of you guys who involved in this opera project, beautiful piece & performance!!
I search for this Bc I have music class and I ended it up loving it :v
Me too lmfao but i dont like this is not my type of music
Currently playing this, and honestly I wish we did it in baroque tuning. It sounds so much nicer in my opinion.
Real
I had no idea there was such music written to remember these people. I must admit, my heart sank a little when the singing started and it became christmas, but I will definitely save this to play at christmas. The medium of Homer has just introduced me to opera for the first time.. I feel a little naive, but grateful. Xx
It's Virgil's Aeneid. So Roman, not pre-classical Greek. Epic tradition absolutely though. It's worth doing a little reading on Roman history and it's uneasy relationship with the powers of what would now be North Africa (then Carthage) to get an insight into how shocking Aeneas' diversion with Dido would have seen both in the context of the epic and to the Roman reader, ever mindfull of memories of Cleopatra. Adds a lot to the tension. And explains why such a doomed affair. Enjoy.
Who want to listen to this and share a bottle of a fine 1981 bottle of wine with me?
Jeg vil gerne...

Låt oss göra varandra sällskap en afton. Vart finns du någonstans?
Me!!!! What varietal is it?
Haute Brion?
Well said!! The music transports one to the realm of demigods, to the realm of the gods watching Pyramus and Thisbe...oh, that would be The Fairie Queen!
Bravo!!
Standing ovation 👏
I think this is the most beautiful version of "When I am laid in earth".
I was asking me the exact same thing
I love Andreas Scholl
singing it .

lol I love baroque period music, it's sooooo extra
2 words that best describe baroque music: luxurious gorgeousity

my favorite opera!
Toll! Dankeschön! 🌹💟👍👋💣🎼🔄
'Before Sunrise' brought me here. 😍😍😍
I love this!! A recording I hadn’t heard before. I love the way the drama is married more with the instruments.
Wow, this was my school play last year. Love that you uploaded it, all the nostalgia.
You must have a good time at school!
My to go for sound this Xmas.Love Cupids Dance and love the instruments.Thank you .
You must have an awesome school!
I played Ah Belinda for accompaniment class. At first I hated the somewhat repetitive bass but later on I ended up loving it lol
So far so good!
Exploring mind!
Brilliant!
Just like a poem for my senses,..... Thanks! 👍👍👍❤️🎼🎼🎼❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️
You're welcome!
nothing like fine music...relax and enjoy...
Played this opera when I was maybe 13 or 14... with my opera choir at the Orvieto music school in Italy: the libretto was in Italian and it sounded brilliant to me.We performed at the City Theater Mancinelli.
What a great memory but I cannot find any video of any performance in Italian. Can you help?
I can sing the entire Dido and Aeneas only in Italian ;)
Kind of deserate
Thanks
Just finishing Aeneid 4 in Latin class!!! Purcell's great opera.
Je viens de l'écouter au hasard dans la cathédrale de Mirepoix. Ma roadtrip à été retardé mais ça à voulu la peine. Fantastique
Stunning performance.
studied this for O level music in 1982 - brings back memories
My music teacher tried to convert me from an Oboeist to a Cellist - to no avail
Superb. Many, many thanks for this. M X
singing as Aeneas for a school production of this, wish me luck!
Coming straight from finishing the second book of Virgil’s Aeneid. That’s worth taking a musical pause!
28:53 - 29:39 I LOVE this piece of music.
It’s no piece, it’s a ritornello!😃
Purcell has such sick major chords in his music.
sick? My You think augmented major chord? EG Instead of c-e-g c-e-g# sharp as well.
@@DUNCZI Tbh, I don't even remember why i made this comment. I don't think he even uses an augmented 5th major triad in this work. Augmented 5th major triad chords are something they predominantly started to use a lot later in history. I am not 100% sure. I have to check it out in my music study. Think about it a lot more clean and simple(it's older music). it's things like how he arranges his chords, voices very deep and high. Already when he starts out in a minor tonic, then shifts to the dominant and back again. These things lead to sick major chords for me.
So in short. "sick", yes i know that sick is a very broad word, but that is how i see it when i compare music in different era's. On the use of major augmented 5th triads. No, the music is way too early for that. There may be a few examples of it that i don't know of, who knows.
@@Ianthe22 He uses them without a doubt. While in later music they are used extensively and without preparation they appear here and there also in 17th and 18th century music. Especially as a consequence of deliberately harsh choices in counterpoint and as part of some harmonic progressions.
@@SimoneBattaglia94 where do you hear see it? And please give an example of a major triad augmented 5th in the scale played. I sure can't find one. Note it has to be a major. Minors you'll find but a major augmented 5th is something quite rare. It doesn't occur naturally in scale. Plus, the sound of this particularly chord is very distinguished. Could you point out where you definitely hear that chord used?
@@Ianthe22 You will find it in the third bar of "What power are thou?" in first inversion for example. That is even unprepared.
Finally found the whole thing.
Damn i would love to listen to this in real life.
Bellezza♥️
Nagyon érdekes mitológiai történet a szerelemről és a férfi kötelességtudatának konfliktusáról. T.i. Latiumban várost kell alapítani, ezért el kell hagynia a szerelmes karthágói királynőt. / from Hungary - Magyarországról /
