A wonderful performance. I would have liked better quality of audio recording but I guess those posibilities are limited mainly by the beautiful venue.

I did not understand the text for the first half hour. I assumed the libretto was maybe translatred to Danish -After the first half hour I did recognize the English text, . Sstill an excellent performance of this work of Purcell. Look forward to your King Arthur.
