Eugenie Lefebvre (soprano), Etienne Bazola (baritone) & Ensemble Les Surprises, Louis-Noel Bestion de Camboulas
Vanaf de jaren 1680 werden Henry Purcells relaties met de Londense theaterwereld intenser, wat de weg vrijmaakte voor meesterwerken als de semi-opera's The Fairy Queen en King Arthur en talrijke toneelmuziek, waarvan de populaire liederen en dansen al snel een eigen leven gingen leiden. Fragmenten uit sommige van deze stukken worden hier gepresenteerd door het ensemble Les Surprises onder Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas, dat met deze opname zijn debuut maakt op ALPHA CLASSICS. Het ensemble biedt verfrissend nieuwe interpretaties van de muziek van "Orpheus Britannicus" en verkent de klankrijkdom, die hoorbaar wordt dankzij het barokinstrumentarium.

"The theme is love, but there’s nothing coy or sugary about either music or performances that embrace extremes of emotion and expression...Much of this is theatre music, and in the absence of a stage Les Surprises supply all the drama...There’s delight after delight here, both in repertoire – which includes plenty of lesser-known treasures – and performances. This is one French invasion to welcome with open arms."
