Product Description

CD84807 Purcell - Dido and Aeneas - Kirsten Flagstad 1953 (sung in N

Uploaded here is a performance of Purcell's Dido & Aeneas, notable for 3 reasons - it is more or less contemporaneous with the renowned Mermaid Theatre performances (1951, recorded HMV 1952)which Kirsten Flagstad performed for an unusual but modest fee, it has its Prologue, for which the music was lost, with actors in the parts of Phoebus and Venus interspersed with some other Purcell music, and it is sung in Norwegian. > > To my knowledge this Norwegian radio recording has never been commercially available.
