Purcell is my favorite composer, Dido my favorite opera. Harnoncourt's version is unique. So is Bernarda Fink, and so is this choir. I did not yet live in Vienna when this was performed at the Musikverein, where I now often go, but so it happens that it was performed on the saddest day of my life. I am in tears. (Apologies for the personal comment.)
