(2CD)洛克:五幕英國歌劇(塞姬)
塞巴斯汀.杜斯 指揮
和諧古樂團
Inspired by the Psyche created collectively by Lully, Moliere, Corneille and Quinault, Locke's Psyche was a veritable artistic firework display: seeking to vie in splendour with the operas of continental Europe, it luxuriously combined theatre, song, dance, and spectacular machines and scenery. Sebastien Dauce here offers us his splendid reconstruction of this key masterpiece in the history of early English opera.
