Book Reviews of Dido and Aeneas in Full Score
Book Review: Not a reliable edition.
Summary: 2 Stars
This appears to be a reprint of the 1915 Purcell Society edition, based on late and unreliable manuscript copies, which were all that were known at the time that edition was prepared. It differs in many small (and a few not-so-small) details from the version commonly performed today. It is also heavily edited with performance indications such as dynamic markings that, while not unmusical, are of more use as a document of Edwardian musical taste than as a guide to Baroque performance practice.
Almost all readers would be better off with the Norton Critical Score edition by Curtis Price for a few dollars more. For preparing performances, the best choices would be the current Purcell Society edition (published by Novello) or the very reasonably priced edition from King's Music.
