RECORDING INFORMATION
Without doubt one of the greatest achievements in the history of recording. Sir Colin Davis' Philips recording of Berlioz' epic classical drama was based on performances at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, with an outstanding cast led by Jon Vickers in ringing voice as Aeneas.

"Throughout this score ... Davis compels the listener to concentrate, to appreciate its epic logic ... Veasey ... makes a splendid Dido, singing always with fine heroic strength, with Vickers a ringing Aeneas ... the Covent Garden Chorus and Orchestra excel themselves in virtuoso singing and playing, while the CD brings out the superb quality of sound all the more vividly."
The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs 1994 Edition
