Purcell: King Arthur

Deller Consort; The King's Musick; directed by Alfred Deller

Henry Purcell
King Arthur

King Arthur (1691), like Purcell's other great scores for the stage, belongs to a highly unusual genre: it is neither a play nor an opera but a hybrid of the two known as 'semi-opera'.Alfred Deller's legendary 1978 recording is one of the benchmark interpretations which introduced music- overs to Purcell's masterpiece.
This title was released for the first time in 1979.
