An excellent chamber performance. The harpsichordist was quite superb, the finest I have heard in the performance of this work. Bravo!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Superb performance without extra flair, therefore so convincing.

Great performance! First time I've heard Cassandra Lemoine (2d soprano here), and want more.

I did not understand the text for the first half hour. I assumed the libretto was maybe translatred to Danish -After the first half hour I did recognize the English text, . Sstill an excellent performance of this work of Purcell. Look forward to your King Arthur.

Concerto strepitoso! Grazie di cuore

[@NigeHaines]

A wonderful performance. I would have liked better quality of audio recording but I guess those posibilities are limited mainly by the beautiful venue.

Like the conductor's Sailor Dance @37:00
