Some of it is generously orchestrated, as Jordi Savall and Le Concert des Nations demonstrate in a richly rewarding programme of pieces drawn from Dioclesian or The Prophetess (1690) and, much more substantially, from Purcell’s most ambitious semi-opera, The Fairy Queen, whose subject derives from Shakespeare’s comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Savall, as much as any interpreter of Purcell’s music that I know, revels in its rich textures and varied colours, producing performances which are full of fantasy.

Le Concert des Nations. The English were latecomers to the opera. Following the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, one might have expected the theatrical establishment to embrace the new genre enthusiastically: after all, things foreign were once again in fashion. The opening music for The Fairy Queen is particularly extended. In between come the vocal items and shorter instrumental movements, intended both to introduce scenes and characters, and to provide an occasion for dance – this last a reflection, perhaps, of the taste for entr’actes in so much French incidental music of the time.

The suites put together by Savall trace a similar but more unified trajectory to Marc Minkowski’s Imaginary Symphony Rameau album (Les Musiciens du Louvre on Archiv). The present collection is a reminder that the composer’s instrumental music was just as thrilling and inventive as what he wrote for the voice: earthy and robust like a good Provençal stew, without sacrificing the majestic air of refinement that captivated the court of Versailles.
