Incidental music for plays by the great English composers of the 17th century.

Suites and Fantasias by Purcell, Locke and Blow. After the Restoration of 1660, London theatres reopened, becoming wildly popular in reaction to the years of closure under Cromwell. Purcell composed incidental music for many new plays, as well as for his ‘semi-operas’ such as King Arthur and The Fairy Queen. The programme also features Locke’s quirky music for The Tempest and a suite from Blow’s opera, Venus and Adonis.
