Vox Luminis shines in Purcell's King Arthur

‘This King Arthur is a giddy triumph for its artists. Blazing their way through the score, the performers set a new benchmark, delivering a production that’s equally gutsy and gorgeous. Director Lionel Meunier is the real star, with a soaring vision of Purcell’s music in a class of its own.’
