Title: The Best Version Hands Down
Review: As I type this review I see that this version of Dido and Aeneas is no longer in the catalogue. That's hard to believe. I own several renditions of Henry Purcell's most famous opera and none other compares to the quality of singing, drama, and overall production value of this one. Rene Jacobs has a way of extracting exemplary performances from his musicians and this work is no exception. The singing is lively and the music melts your heart, especially the closing lament. If you get a chance to procure a copy of this version grab it!
