Purcell: Dido & Aeneas

Internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano and Grammy Award-winner Joyce DiDonato stars as Dido in this recording captured at Essen Philharmonie, part of a European tour that included prestigious venues such as the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées and Teatro Real de Madrid. The whole Dido & Aeneas team is a terrific ensemble featuring tenor Michael Spyres (Aeneas), soprano Fatma Said (Belinda), Beth Taylor (Sorceress),... and Il Pomo d’Oro, under the baton of Maxim Emelyanychev.
