King Arthur has long been recognized
as one of Purcell's most colorful scores, a continuous flow of melodically rich tunes, alongside dances and choral sections where the composer innovates in brilliant and virtuoso instrumental writing. With such famous material as the scene from The Cool Engineers and the song Fairest Isle , it's no wonder King Arthur remained a much-performed masterpiece for many decades into the 18th century.

On a text by the poet John Dryden, King Arthur was created in London in 1691, four years before the death of Henry Purcell, "the British Orpheus", at the age of 36. The work will not be published until 1843.

The Gabrieli's award-winning interpretation of the King Arthur semi-opera has thrilled audiences around the world. Renowned interpreters of the music of Henry Purcell, after twenty years of concert practice and scholarship, the Gabrieli and Paul McCreesh have premiered a new production of King Arthur , breathing new life into this masterpiece of British theatre. An ensemble of nine solo singers and a small chamber orchestra, strengths that Purcell himself would have recognized, make for an intimate concert, unique and compelling, joyful, lyrical and infinitely colorful. Recently recorded for Winged Lion, the Gabrieli's recording company, King Arthur has received international recognition, winning in 2020 the category

BBC Music Magazine 's Opera and Record of the Year , and the 2019 Australian tour of the work received the Helpmann Award for Best Chamber Ensemble Performance/Instrumental Music.

English

King Arthur a longtemps été reconnu
comme l’une des partitions les plus colorées de Purcell, un flux continu d’airs mélodiquement riches, aux côtés de danses et de sections chorales où le compositeur innove dans une écriture instrumentale brillante et virtuose. Avec des matériaux aussi célèbres que la scène du Génie du Froid et la chanson Fairest Isle, il n’est pas étonnant que Le Roi Arthur soit resté un chef-d’œuvre très joué pendant de nombreuses décennies au XVIIIe siècle.

Sur un texte du poète John Dryden, King Arthur est créé à Londres en 1691, quatre ans avant la disparition d’Henry Purcell, « l’Orphée britannique », à l’âge de 36 ans. L’ouvrage ne sera publié qu’en 1843.

L’interprétation primée des Gabrieli du semi-opéra King Arthur a ravi le public du monde entier. Interprètes renommés de la musique d’Henry Purcell, après vingt ans de pratique en concert et en érudition, les Gabrieli et Paul McCreesh ont créé une nouvelle production du Roi Arthur, insufflant une nouvelle vie à ce chef-d’œuvre de la musique de théâtre britannique. Un ensemble de neuf chanteurs solistes et un petit orchestre de chambre, des forces que Purcell lui-même aurait reconnues, en font un concert intime, unique et convaincant, joyeux, lyrique et infiniment coloré. Récemment enregistré pour Winged Lion, la firme discographique des Gabrieli, King Arthur a reçu une reconnaissance internationale, remportant en 2020 la catégorie

« Opéra et disque de l’année » du BBC Music Magazine, et la tournée australienne en 2019 de l’ouvrage a reçu le prix Helpmann de la meilleure performance d’ensemble de chambre/musique instrumentale.
