William Christie and Les Arts Florissants attain Baroque superiority yet again in this release of Henry Purcell's much-admired Dido & +åneas. "This version - with single strings, an excellent small choir and a slightly obtrusive harpsichord - stands well alongside what is otherwise available: if you prefer Dido in the French manner this is the record you will want; if not, you will probably still want it as a different view of a major work" (Gramophone, 1995).
