Editorial Reviews
Opera (London)
"[Tubb's] runs are fluent ... and her decorations apt and neatly done.... Impeccable work from the 13-piece band."
Early Music (Oxford)
"Thomas Meglioranza gives a thoughtful and sympathetic performance that sends a breath of fresh air blowing gently through the opera."
Album Description
Evelyn Tubb's involvement with Purcell's stage music, and Dido & Aeneas in particular, has run like a thread through her illustrious career. She was part of the historic collection of Early Music luminaries who took part in the seminal 1981 Chandos recording by Andrew Parrott, and later sang one of the witches' parts with Nigel Rogers' Chiaroscuro Ensemble. In 1989, in partnership with Michael Fields, she founded the Mayfield Chamber Opera Company, and Dido & Aeneas was their first production, with Evelyn singing Dido. The production was hailed as "a thought-provoking and innovative masterpiece" and Evelyn's interpretation of the tragic heroine "sung with stunning beauty". But, being a Gemini, Evelyn always had a yearning to explore both sides of the tragedy. While several singers have sung both Dido and the Sorceress, in this present recording Evelyn is the first to do so with a characterization of the Sorceress that is true to Restoration ideas...
