Descrizione:

"Responsible for chamber music, operas and songs." (classicfm.com)

Purcell landed the impressive post of Organist of Westminster Abbey by the time he was 20, in 1679.
Purcell’s first opera, ‘Dido and Aeneas’, was a monumental work in Baroque opera. Not content with a farcical boy-meets-girl love story, the work is based on Book IV of Virgil's 'Aeneid'.
