King Arthur

Album by Henry Purcell & Le Concert Spirituel & Hervé Niquet

King Arthur is a semi-opera by English composer Henry Purcell, first performed in 1691. Musically it blends spoken drama with Baroque vocal and instrumental writing, featuring choruses, solo arias and dance movements, and represents Purcell's mature contribution to English stage music at the end of the 17th century.
