DESCRIZIONE

Didone ed Enea, l’unica opera di Purcell e scritta in circostanze poco chiare, fu allestita nel 1680, dopo di che scomparve dalle scene fino alla fine dell’Ottocento, quando conobbe una felice riscoperta e notevole successo.
Questa registrazione segna il debutto discografico di Jonas Descotte e il suo ensemble Les Argonautes.
Con un approccio in equilibrio tra prassi storicamente informate (il “gesto antico”) e modernità, il direttore offre una lettura che sottolinea il carattere intimo, con un musicista per parte, scolpendo e cesellando il materiale sonoro al fine di catturare l’essenza stessa del contenuto musicale e drammatico dell’opera, qui esaltato da un cast vocale di grande e brillante fascino che comprende Camille Allérat, Renato Dolcini, Anthea Pichanick e Julie Roset.
