Description: In his large-scale oratorio recounting the fateful events of the life of Dido, Jan Novik (1921-1984) responded to Vergil's highly charged verses with music of an exceptionally dramatic nature. Rafael Kubelik leads the forces of the Bayerischer Rundfunk in a compelling and well recorded performance that captures the pathos of Novik's score. The highlight of the performance is Marilyn Schmiege's superb interpretation of the very demanding role of Dido. A release of special merit that deserves a place in any collection of twentieth-century music and an unusual opportunity to experience the work of this little known and powerful composer. -- Thomas L.
