King Arthur

The great patriotic opera of the 17th century, recorded here in a lively new performing edition after two decades in the Gabrieli's touring repertoire. Notoriously difficult to present on disc or in concert, this version presented by Gabrieli was created to allow an obvious musical narrative, despite Purcell's music often being completely dislocated from much of the original theatre context.

Gabrieli have been performing the music from King Arthur for nearly a quarter of a century, evolving their interpretation over time. With the score having to be pieced together using separate versions (due to Purcell's originals being lost), and with Gabrieli's evolved interpretation of the music, the end product of this recording is truly unique.
