Alison Moyet - Dido's Lament: When I Am Laid In Earth video free download

This aria has so much connection to African-American spirituals that I cannot get out of my head that there is one! Wonderful bluesy version! One of my favorite renditions of this aria is in the title Jessye Norman - A Portrait - When I Am Laid In Earth (Purcel

Versión realmente conmovedora. El dramatismo de la voz se acuerda con un tema lancinante, logrando una verdad de la que carecen la gran mayoría de las versiones líricas. Los solos de Alison Moyet y de Jessye Norman, cada una a su manera, logran transmitirme el escalofrío del sacrificio ante el imposible amor: «When I am laid, am laid in earth, May my wrongs create/ No trouble, no trouble in thy breast;/ Remember me, remember me, but ah! forget my fate,/ Remember me, but ! forget my fate».

The text, and the Purcell opera, allude to the Aeneid, the Roman legend of the Trojan warrior Aeneas, travelling to Italy from the betrayed and fallen Troy in order to settle there and secure his son Ascanius's lineage. Their ship is blown off course from Sicily, and they land on the shore of North Africa, in Carthage, a town newly settled by refugees from Tyre. Aeneas falls in love with their queen, Dido, but dutifully departs for Italy leaving her. Distraught at his betrayal, she orders a pyre to be built and set ablaze so that Aeneas will see from his ship that she has killed herself. She sings the lament before stabbing herself as Aeneas sails on.

M/s Moyet -your voice is superb -pitch,tonality,clarity,yibrato -please do some more young lady,because I have just discovered this and it is ineffable in it`s ability to reach into one`s soulkeep.

My gripe with the vast amount of opera performances is you can barely understand the lyrics, although the singing is usually more suiting. With this song, I feel the lyrics elevate the power of the song and therefore should be sung concisely.

As a fan of both rock and classical, I think this has more impact than the conventional classical performances. In Alison Moyet's hands, it becomes almost like one of her classic torch songs. Purists will object. In this song, Purcell wrote from his soul, and I think he'd be impressed with her version.

Amazing, when you think that Purcell wrote this in the 1680's!
