Andreas Scholl - Purcell - "Man is for the woman made"

Andreas Scholl Recital in Beaune July 2010 with Accademia Bizantina: Purcell`s "Man is for the Woman made"

Man is for the woman made,
And the woman made for man;
As the spur is for the jade,
As the scabbard for the blade,
As for digging is the spade,
As for liquor is the can,
So man is for the woman made,
And the woman made for man.

As the scepter to be sway'd,
As for night's the serenade,
As for pudding is the pan,
And to cool us is the fan,
So man is for the woman made,
And the woman made for man.

Be she widow, wife or maid,
Be she wanton, be she stayed,
Be she well or ill array'd,
Whore, bawd or harridan,
Yet man is for the woman made,
And the woman made for man.

Is there any way to buy this, e.g. by means of a DVD?

@LutzDerLurch you could ask ARTE, they should own the rights for this production..

Some boring info from my Purcell book: text by John motteux and music by Purcell. First sung by Miss Cross in The Mock Marriage by Thomas Scott. The song had more success than the play from what I can see and has nothing to do with the action of the play. Obviously I have too much time on my hands! Thanks for posting. Interesting!
