In quest of the (Baroque) Indies. The subject, synonymous with exoticism in Europe in the Golden Age, pits Aztecs against Incas on the stage: Purcell died before finishing the music, but what he left to accompany this staged entertainment is nonetheless a swan-song of exceptional beauty.

À la découverte des Indes (baroques). Ce sujet synonyme d'exotisme dans toute l'Europe du Grand Siècle opposait Aztèques et Incas dans une pièce de théâtre ; Purcell est mort avant d'avoir pu en terminer la partition musicale. Ce divertissement pour la scène s'impose pourtant comme un « chant du cygne » d'une exceptionnelle beauté.
