Nr kat.: CKD358Label : Linn Records
!!! Following the highly acclaimed production at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, The Classical Opera Company presents Artaxerxes, recorded to celebrate the 300th anniversary of composer Thomas Arne.
!!! This is the first complete recording of one of the most important and successful of all English operas, with the lost Finale realised most effectively by Duncan Druce.
!!! Composer Thomas Arne, most famous for composing ?Rule Britannia?, also won fans in Mozart and Haydn with his opera Artaxerxes that remained in the London repertoire almost continuously from its premiere in 1762 until the 1830s.
!!! This stunning, but rarely recorded, opera has many well-known arias including ?The soldier tir'd?, originally made famous by Joan Sutherland and sung here by Elizabeth Watts (?A lyric soprano as ravishing as one could possibly want? IRR).
