Obra: The Fairy Queen, Z 629:The Plaint

While maybe not for the musical puritans, this was the perfect showcase for an exceptional group of musicians to demonstrate their formidable technical and interpretative talents and to respectfully give some new vitality to the magical works of Purcell.

L'Arpeggiata faszinieren, amüsieren, rühren zu Tränen - und das alles in nicht einmal zwei Stunden.

If you like your Purcell spiced up with some jazz improvisation and Middle-Eastern flavours, Philippe Jaroussky and L’Arpeggiata’s gig was for you.
