Beautiful. Truly gets to the heart of this interpretation as a cry of despair from all the too many lonely lost souls in our populated cities in their final forgotten and hidden moments alone before, just like Queen Dido of Carthage here consigning herself to dying in flames as love has left her, and she has no reason to continue.
You prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost my password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
@Gus Jaxtyn thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Beautifully sung and played. Helen is a treasure -- one of the most beautiful lyric mezzos on the scene today. Don't neglect Dame Janet Baker's several recordings, though. She owned the role of Dido -- both that of Purcell and of Berlioz.
I was literally listening to Dido’s “The day before the day” when I saw an article about this and thought it was the same Dido but also pleasantly surprised by this beautiful operatic composition.
The music and filming are both impeccable. Full disclosure: when I saw "Dido" I was confused because I was thinking that electronic chanteuse who hit big in the late 90s.
Gorgeous, I'm in love with OAE ever since that one time during my studies in London when I saw you guys perform in a pub, brilliant video! Love from Chicago
Composed by Henry Purcell in 1688, telling the sad tale is Dido about to be abandoned by Aeneas who fleeing the Seige of Troy with his ship mates decides it's time to resume his voyage, and leave Carthage. Disbelieving his entreaties to stay, Dido knows that her fate is to die. 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 ah! forget my fate.
Astounding combination although I've never followed Colgplay nor watched any of their videos. My kids have. Dido's Lament has long been favourite of mine and my tastes run from early music, through English folk, folk-rock, Celtic folk to ambient metal of English band Toska and many things between. Purcell reigns supreme. Who needs Mozart? Loved this

Coldplay? What about Weird AL Yankovic? Haha. That's who I think of for a backwards video like this. It is amazing!! And wow, what a beautiful effect for this beautiful aria.
Ok, not to take away anything from Dido, but I went down a rabbit hole and found that Weird AL actually copied the style from the song rap song Drop by The Pharcyde. From Purcell to 1990s rap. What a day! Haha
"Songs of Suicide." will be the name of my new band. My heart of 25 recently passed away. She missed our anniversary. Dec. 20, Christmas. She died on 27 of Feb. She missed my birthday on the 5 of Feb. COVID-19 ain't no hoax. Even masks aren't perfect. The six feet apart rule is a joke, too. But to NOT take precautions is out right murder.
Hello, yes, we will add that. It was filmed and produced by the OAE in house team - a really great bunch of people: stand out credits to Zen Grisdale as digital and technical director, audio engineered by Dave Hinitt at St Jude’s Hampstead Garden Suburbs.
@@oae Strange coincidence I was just last night reading the part of "My Brilliant Friend" by Elena Ferrante where the Lila character starts viewing love, life, even the nature of evil through the lens of what befell Dido. Good book, I def recommend.
One can imagine the cold, often unheated, concert halls that were available in the 17th century... They are obviously trying to be as authentic as possible, playing in the cold.
@@AnjaHuebel1 Well, but you might want to look them up on UA-cam. Their music is interesting. And you might want to look up the video, "The Scientist," that this video above is based on. Also interesting. I really like what OAE is doing here. For people who only know or like so-called pop music--and maybe for people who only like classical--they're making the point that all types of music can be good and worthy of attention. So to make an avant-garde video of a 300-year-old song, and do it so well, is truly stunning and can draw people in who haven't heard of or listened to Purcell before.
Beautifully expressive vocals, but the backwards synchronising of the facial alignments is clumsy and detracts from the impact. Some of the 'background shots' seem frankly random; the editing is often unnecessarily fast, and is fragmented in such a way that the potential poignancy of the underlaying message is lost. The same contemporary themes could surely have been infinitely more effective simply filmed in forward motion, and with a little more subtlety. What a shame to distort such a powerful and sensitive rendering in this way.

A lovely performance of Purcell's superb aria sung with real clarity, emotion &a beautiful tone by Helen! Such a wonderful young mezzo voice, Helen.
She's excellent, but Lorraine Hunt Lieberson is still holding first place!!

@Gus Jaxtyn It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
And again! That voice!
I keep coming back to this video...
agreed
I've heard a dozen singers perform this aria. This is very beautifully sung, with a fresh tone.
This is wonderous! A fantastic modern visual blend.
But that voice!!!!
So glad I found this. Thank you.
This is so beautiful and overwhelming at the same time!!!!!!!!
A clever bit of production here. Quite shocking and journeying into the imaginal core of madness... brilliantly done. 💔
Ive been away too long... & there are many I send this to. Sigh... my soul & heart rise...
Lovely, Helen!
Fabulous performance + fabulous video = fabulous squared entertainment. Thank you.
The video like coldplay's (based on irreversible) but the music is much better!!! I need more of this!!!
Gorgeous! I don't know how people can live without tears after this music. So sad...
Strange this has so few views? It is such a beautiful rendition.
What a fantastically brilliant conception and beautifully sung by Helen, what a voice.
A work of art.. beautifully done

I've got the Dido and Aeneas CD by Decca with Dame Janet Baker singing. It's my favourite rendition so far.
absolutely brilliant! I am overwhelmed
Thank you Helen. May I use this for All Saints Sunday at St. John’s. Best ever!
I was literally listening to Dido’s “The day before the day” when I saw an article about this and thought it was the same Dido but also pleasantly surprised by this beautiful operatic composition.
perfect version ever ! ！！！
Stunning and sublime
I’m in love with her voice
All the feels! Brilliant.
Bravo, Helen & the Team!
This so trippy🎉 Love it.
bloody incredible

I’ve just been watching Helen in a live streamed concert, and couldn’t resist this as a reprise. I love the video!
Just doing the same June 😀
Absolutely stunning!
Beautiful im crying so emotional
That is, phenomenal.
Beautiful!
Beautiful!!!
No words to describe how overwhelming beatiful this is 😌❤️
Oh shit, great job everyone! That backwards lip-syncing is no easy feat, and you really stayed true to the spirit of the Coldplay video
Well, Helen did amazingly on that. (We got some really funny looks from passers by filming with a reverse reference track being hooted out.)
@@crispinwoodhead3714 I was wondering how you did it! A behind-the scenes video would be amazing!!
Amazing
A very beautiful voice, and a creative performance. Thank you for adding pleasure to my day
Beautiful
Fantastic!
Gorgeous..
I love it!!
Dido and Tenet... bravo Helen Charlston!
This and Janet Baker's versions of this are my favorite!
Fabulous! ❤
Beautifully done.
This is awesome
Best!
So majestic

Love this, H xx
This is f*@king awesome
Excelent!
와~~~❤❤❤
Splendid video art 👍
Helen Chalston,
I can't help falling in love with you ... ❤️
great video love that voice
Powaliło mnie po pierwszym przesłuchaniu. Dogłębne.
When I am laid, am laid in earth,
May my wrongs create
No trouble, no trouble in thy breast(x2)
Remember me, remember me, but ah! forget my fate.(x2)

Have you seen the music video to The Scientist?
someone's been watching TENET I see!
Think I will return to her wonderful voice singing with the Trinity College choir. So much ore enriching to life than this.
Superb 🖤
3:05 reminescence of Irréversible by Gaspar Noé?
Is there any way to find this recording somewhere ? in a lossless audio format :)
The video certainly didn’t hurt for me
"Songs of Suicide." will be the name of my new band.
My heart of 25 recently passed away. She missed our anniversary.
Dec. 20, Christmas. She died on
27 of Feb. She missed my birthday on the 5 of Feb. COVID-19 ain't no hoax. Even masks aren't perfect.
The six feet apart rule is a joke, too. But to NOT take precautions is
out right murder.
Так странно .. и красиво ..
this is fuckin sick
I can’t find the film credits...who made it/filmed it/production company etc. Many thanks!

@@jonnysells1982 Thank you. Yes, we love working with Dave. Lovely man, so talented and huge fun.
Two out of three ain't bad :)
Nobody is mentioning how impressive it is that she is lip-syncing backwards??
With so few opportunities to see and hear Helen sing, this video is troublesome to say the least. Great to listen to though. xx
Inspired by Coldplay's Scientist.
I guess Helen opened something new. For sure.
I read "lamest"
Yeah, what happened to Dido was pretty lame...

The audio is playing in reverse.

It is when you play without warming up first.
It's a band. You could look it up for more information.
@@mh605 Thanks, I thought it was a band but I'm not interested enough to look it up!

The backward motion interferes with the beauty of this piece, in my opinion anyway.
Where's Aeneas when you need him?
I confess: I hate it, I only reached 1:37 when her idiot companion got to me.

the visuals . . . .
I don't know . . . .

no
um wow. Drips with postmodern angst

the downfall
Very beautifully sung and played. But the videos were total rubbish.
I hate Coldplay. Singing and music in this video 👍
Superb !
