Shakespeare's works always contain the "passion, emotion, pathos and variety, which are the indispensible requirements for a good libretto" said Benjamin Britten. If we listen to one of his most successful, exciting stage works, the opera A Midsummer Night's Dream, we have to admit he was right. To hear how the same comic material inspired Henry Purcell, listen to the Fairy-Queen, a piece of a very different genre. Dame Emma Kirkby, Howard Williams, and others will ensure the stylistic performance of the music of this matchless genius of the English Baroque.
