Hoofdstadkoor - Dido en Aeneas + The Fairy Queen van Henry Purcell

It's LOVE!

In The Fairy Queen as well as Dido and Aeneas, Henry Purcell has highlighted all facets of Love. The contrast is great: in the fairy kingdom of King Oberon and Queen Titania, four young lovers eventually find each other, but in Carthage Queen Dido dies of a broken heart after Aeneas' departure. She leaves the world her famous lament: “remember me for who I am, but oh! forget my tragic fate.
