Description:
Often considered the greatest English composer, Henry Purcell (1659-1695) excelled at writing not only sacred music and chamber works, but also music for the stage. Based on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, his 1692 opera The Fairy Queen features all of the fine qualities for which Purcell is celebrated: wonderful invention, keen dramatic instinct, and lively characterization. This new edition, reproduced from an early authoritative score, is certain to be prized by musicians and music lovers.
