Sipping her Veuve Clicquot...
...given us fascinating interpretations of other composers' work −notably the Mozart G Minor Symphony and the Bach Brandenburg Concertos. The neglected Fairy Queen-half opera half masque-is perhaps his finest effort: vibrantly joyous, magisterial in its command yet tender in the plaints of the soloists (especially Bass John Shirley-Quirk's Next, winter comes slowly...
