Abdelazer, or the "Moors revenge", is the incidental music written by Henry Purcell, based upon the novel "Oroonoko" by Aphra Behn, which was first published in 1668. It is widely acknowledged that she was the first English female to successfully make her living as an author.
This piece, was recorded in 1980, by the Bournemouth Sinfonietta and directed by Ronald Thomas. Whilst many musical purists may argue, that it is not performed as originally intended, I would counterblast that this, for me at least is very much the definitive version.
