Customer Reviews
Almost the best
This is almost, but not quite, the best version of Dido I have heard; excellent performances by Veronique Gens as Dido and Sophie Marin-Degor as Belinda and expertly directed by William Christie, finely balancing vivacity with gravity as required.
Just edging this out is the Hogwood production, which I would choose as my sole copy if forced to, but wouldn't want to be without either.
Word of warning: if you buy the MP3 download version as I did, the track divisions are placed a little oddly to say the least and will result in ugly gaps in continuity unless you set the gap to zero.
