Have a few days ago in Baden-Baden is one of the concert performance of Dido and Aeneas in the same occupation as the above CD. I was excited. Not only Simone Kermes and Deborah York convinced her it was mainly this incredibly dynamic ensemble Musica Aeterna and the equally excellent choir of the New Siberian Singers. The orchestra played standing up, and it seems that alone contributes already this form of music-making for an extraordinary dynamism and freshness. And certainly had the "bundle of energy" Currentzis his share of it. I was in any case - as well as the entire audience in the concert hall - completely thrilled and have the same ordered the CD.
