Henry Purcell - Henry Purcell: The Indian Queen

In quest of the (Baroque) Indies. The subject, synonymous with exoticism in Europe in the Golden Age, pits Aztecs against Incas on the stage. Purcell died before finishing the music but what he left to accompany this staged entertainment is nonetheless a swan-song of exceptional beauty. Available on vinyl remastered from the original tapes.
