Purcell - King Arthur / Gens, McFadden, Piau, S. Waters, J. Best, Padmore, Paton, Salomaa, Les Arts Florissants, Christie»rank: 97681from: Erato (Warner Classics)
0ur opinion: essential recording:The Fairy Queen may be the most famous of Purcell's 'semi-operas' (spoken dramas with extended musical items incorporated--not to say dropped in), but King Arthur, with text by John Dryden, is undoubtedly the most satisfying. Not only is the music captivating on its own terms, it's unusually well-integrated into the action--for example, one musical scene depicts the heathen Saxons performing a pre- battle ceremony; another shows ...

Handel - Theodora / Daneman, Croft, Taylor, Galstian, Berg, Slaars, Les Arts Florissants, Christie»rank: 132139from: Erato
0ur opinion: :Theodora was Handel's next-to-last oratorio, and though it was a failure at its premiere, Handel preferred it above all his others. lt tells of the martyrdom of the Christian Theodora (soprano) and her beloved Didymus (countertenor) at the hands of the Romans, with the villainous Valens (bass) in charge.
