War! Huh! England and the Glorious Revolution
Henry Purcell's depiction of English battle through his operatic arias, in a concert given by La Folia Barockorchester at Nuremberg's Historical City Hall.
Henry Purcell's depiction of English battle through his operatic arias, in a concert given by La Folia Barockorchester at Nuremberg's Historical City Hall in July. Purcell lived through the overthrow of the Catholic king James II in 1689, and many of his works - such as King Arthur, Bonduca and Dido and Aeneas - employ ancient history and literature to address the theme of conflict. Soprano Anna Prohaska, alto Julia Bohme, tenor Richard Resch and bass Nikolay Borchev join the ensemble to run the gamut of emotion in war, from pride, to bravery, to despair and to the ultimate joy of victory.
Presented by Simon Heighes.
