Conductor
Stefano MontanariAbout
Andreas Scholl's longstanding collaborators Accademia Bizantina bring out the Italian influence in Purcell's instrumental writing, and contribute orchestral items to the programme.
The album includes the well known lament 'When I Am Laid In Earth' - recently voted the UK's No.1 favourite aria in a BBC Radio 3 poll - written for the character of Dido in Purcell's opera, Dido and Aeneas.
Andreas Scholl is joined for two duets by French countertenor, Christophe Dumaux.
