Rameau's Dardanus has all the features of a great opera: lovers on opposite sides of a war, each unaware of the other's feelings, magical disguises, accomplishment of an heroic deed to win the girl, and a happy ending. This double CD, recorded live at City Recital Hall Angel Place, features internationally renowned Rameau specialist Paul Agnew singing with an exciting local cast, and the Orchestra of the Antipodes playing on period French Baroque instruments.
"Pinchgut Opera delivers a refreshingly incisive and unmannered reading ... It is beautifully done and encapsulates the most inviting aspects of this enterprising and welcome addition to the catalogue." - Gramophone.
