H. Purcell - Indian Queen

His "last and best Performance in Musick": Henry Purcell's widow, Frances, thought so. Though the Indian Queen is the shortest and in some respects the least ambitious of his four full-scale opera scores, it is beautifully crafted, full of memorable tunes, and musical and dramatic incident. The Conjurer Ismeron is one of Purcell's strongest operatic characters, perhaps the strongest, outside of Dido and Aeneas.
