Purcell: The Indian Queen

Description

Discovering the (Baroque) Indies. This subject, synonymous with exoticism throughout 17th-century Europe, pitted Aztecs and Incas against each other in a play; Purcell died before he could complete the musical score. Yet this stage entertainment stands out as a "swan song" of exceptional beauty.
