Emily Van Evera (soprano), Ben Parry (baritone), Andrew Parrott (director),
Taverner Choir & Players
A sumptuous reissue of Andrew Parrott's and his Taverner Choir & Players
seminal recording of Purcell's Dido & Aeneas features pristine solo turns by
baritone Ben Parry as Aeneas, the Trojan king, and soprano Emily Van Evera as
Dido, the abandoned Queen of Carthage.
Avie continues to mine the rich catalogue of recordings made by Andrew Parrott and his
Taverner Choir & Players. The performance is as fresh as when the recording was made in

dignified as it is sublime.
