Description:

With her commanding stage presence, Martha Mödl is an inspired choice for Dido. It is especially fortunate that this recording captures her when her voice was still in prime condition, allowing her to deliver a performance that remains convincing within the Baroque style. A young Hermann Prey brings a refined, classically shaped interpretation to Aeneas, though his approach to the role’s emotional core leans toward the Romantic.

NOTE:
This performance replaces a previous master and is in much better sound.
