Edition Lilac EL190927 · 2019 (recorded 2002)
Evelyn Tubb (Dido & Sorceress), Thomas Meglioranza (Aeneas), Julia Matthews (Belinda), Elizabeth Packard Arnold, Allison A. Brown, Terry Barber, Kevin Sutton, Brad Fugate · Predrag Gosta, harpsichord & conductor
“Impeccable work from the 13-piece band (including five continuo players). Predrag Gosta shows good musical instincts and, unlike some period performers, one feels he is willing to depart from the strict letter of the score when dramatically necessary.”Opera (London)
“Thomas Meglioranza gives a thoughtful and sympathetic performance that sends a breath of fresh air gently through the opera.”Early Music (Oxford University Press)
“Backed by a fine cast, Tubb sings a splendid Dido, but it is as the Sorceress that she truly makes this recording stand out from other versions.”Early Music America
