    Purcell: The Indian Queen

    2 LP
    €29,99

    Release date: March 27, 2026

    In quest of the (Baroque) Indies.
    The subject, synonymous with exoticism in the Europe of 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.
