Intérprete: Choir of the AAM

A semi-staged Dido from the Academy of Ancient Music and the speculative funeral music for a queen.

Superlative musicianship and extravagant detailing from the force-of-nature that is Richard Egarr and the Academy of Ancient Music 

Sublime orchestral playing and stellar soloists don't quite make up for a lacklustre performance by the Academy's choir in Monteverdi's moving work
