{"product_id":"purcell-king-arthur-lp","title":"Purcell: King Arthur [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Eliot Gardiner will celebrate his 80th birthday on 20th April 2023. On 7th April, we are releasing a 64-CD boxset including his complete Erato Recordings, and are also celebrating this wonderful conductor with two of his most emblematic albums to be released on vinyl: Purcell's King Arthur and Handel's Water Music.As John Eliot Gardiner converted his Monteverdi Orchestra to early instruments in the mid-1970s and renamed it the English Baroque Soloists, he engaged his magnificent instrumentalists, choir and a host of first-class soloists in the most emblematic works by \"the Greatest Genius we [England] ever had\": Henry Purcell! The reception was unanimously enthusiastic and led Diapason magazine to say: \"Gardiner's reading of Purcell, dramatic, hyper-refined, sometimes burning, overwhelming, at all times enchanting, cannot escape the discography of the enlightened music lover. Purcell himself is there!\"King Arthur was first staged at the Dorset Garden Theatre in London in mid-1691. It proved to be the most popular and enduring of all Purcell's stage works, and enjoyed revivals throughout the eighteenth century and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Arthur, Z. 628: Overture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Arthur, Z. 628: Air\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Arthur, Z. 628: Overture (Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Arthur, Z. 628, Act 1: Trio and Chorus. \"Woden, First to Thee\" - \"To Woden, Our Defender, Thanks We Render\" (Saxon Priest,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Arthur, Z. 628, Act 1: Song. \"The Lot Is Cast, and Tanfan Pleas'd\" (Priestess)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Arthur, Z. 628, Act 1: Chorus. \"Brave Souls, to Be Renown'd in Story\" (Chorus)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Arthur, Z. 628, Act 1: Song and Chorus. \"I Call You All to Woden's Hall\" (Priestess, Chorus)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Arthur, Z. 628, Act 1: Song and Chorus. \"Come If You Dare\" - First Act Tune (British Warrior, Chorus)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Arthur, Z. 628, Act 2: Song and Chorus. \"Hither, This Way, This Way Bend\" (Philidel, Chorus)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Arthur, Z. 628, Act 2: Song. \"Let Not a Moonborn Elf Mislead Ye\" (Grimbald)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Arthur, Z. 628, Act 2: Chorus. \"Hither This Way, This Way Bend\" (Chorus)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Arthur, Z. 628, Act 2: Song and Chorus. \"Come, Follow Me\" (Philidel, Chorus)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Arthur, Z. 628, Act 2: Song and Chorus. \"How Blest Are Shepherds\" (Tenor, Chorus)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Arthur, Z. 628, Act 2: Duet. \"Shepherd, Shepherd, Leave Decoying\" (Shepherdesses)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Arthur, Z. 628, Act 2: Chorus. \"Come, Shepherds, Lead Up a Lively Measure\" - Hornpipe (Chorus)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Arthur, Z. 628, Act 2: Second Act Tune.
