About
Purcell composed only one true opera, and the form known as ‘semi opera’ was the most popular in England at the time. In these works the actors did not sing. Musical interludes, either of vocal numbers or instrumental music, punctuated the action. The second half of this CD contains examples of the instrumental music Purcell provided for Dioclesan and Timon of Athens.
Michael Chance is a renowned exponent of this repertoire. Florilegium has won many awards for its sensitive chamber-music-making in the Barock era.
