Purcell: King Arthur

As John Eliot Gardiner converted his Monteverdi Orchestra to early instruments in the mid-1970s and renamed it the English Baroque Soloists, he engaged his magnificent instrumentalists, choir and a host of first-class soloists in the most emblematic works by 'the Greatest Genius we [England] ever had'; Henry Purcell!
