realias ::: Favorites By far the best version on YouTube. Beats Flagstad and Kirkby by miles. There is so much womanhood in von Otter's voice. 07-09-23 16:59:11 __________________________________________________
wanzenettl ::: Favorites Kirkby's may be the more authentic and historically accurate as far as Baroque performance practice, but von Otter's performance of this Purcell masterpiece literally moves me to tears. 07-09-22 12:36:42 __________________________________________________
lomoto69 ::: Favorites The remember me's are so chilling. Such a simple phrase can deliver so much meaning when put to powerful music. This was so ingenious on Henry Purcell's part. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful masterpieces known to mankind. 07-08-28 15:22:10 __________________________________________________
fredgonn ::: Favorites It's a matter of personal taste of course, Von Otter puts much warmth and emotionality in this song - her voice is stylish and mature indeed - but the more delicate 'light' version of Dido's Lament - f.e. from Emma Kirkby - almost brings tears in my eyes. 07-08-25 18:11:52 __________________________________________________

margamir ::: Favorites I was thinking making a cd with all the versions of this beautiful Purcell's song, as I have most of them, but now that I found this playlist I don't think I'll need to do it anymore. Great ideia! 07-05-10 16:52:43 __________________________________________________
