For his "Feenkönigin" Henry Purcell adapted one of the most enchanting comedies of all time: Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream". In five so-called "Mask Plays" magnificent instrumental dance movements alternate with burlesque drinking songs and soulful arias. A timeless masterpiece of the English Baroque!
