When I heard this rendition, I started to cry like a baby remembering my late mother who was a great Coloratura Soprano and performed this very piece at several funerals when I was young. It brought instant memories of her to me. This is by far the most tender and lamenting version I have ever heard.
The best version I heard. No heroic vibrato, no hysteric ff, all is simple and very natural, tempo is also very pleasant. The choir part is also perfect, good balanced accents and dynamics.
I used to love the more bombastic versions of this and Tristes Aprets, but now that I'm old enough to have felt real sorrow, these subdued versions speak to me. They're more real, because when you're utterly broken, you can't muster bombast. You can hear the resignation in her voice.
@@malcolmdale I have, and it doesn't compare in the slightest. No subtlety whatsoever... A Baroque opera should not be sung in a Romantic style, and to say Norman sings in a 'Romantic style' is being charitable.
The west is not dying That is ridiculous! They said the same about the Dark and Middle ages!! Here we are... Rejoice. Remember Me, is the lament. Beauty is with us, as is modern civilisation! 😂🇮🇪🎉🎊❤️🎁🎂🙏😂 To this version of Dido's Lament... I say, Sublime!! Thank You to the up loader!! Much work I know.
I am speechless about the beauty of this song and version. There is deep stillnes within me listening this. That says it all. It is so unbelievably BEAUTIFUL. So well done by Simone Kermes!
This song is a surrender, “Death is now a welcome guest” I love the sweet, decay as the accompanying melody descends... As ego, and body fall away. All that’s left is that high clear “Remember meeee”
Superb performance! Tottaly not frozen or not passionate! It's beauty is actually in this manner of performance! Tottaly out of the corrupted pseudo-romantic manner of super-expression, combined with large vibrato amplitude... I'm in love with this performance! As I am with many of the performances of the so called "scandalous" Simone Kermes!!
using P or even PP to sing high G just bring the sadness and desperation to the max level! This is definitely the best version. Not a common tiresome show off vibrato on high notes version, this one bring you a true Dido, you can feel everything with her. Absolutely stunning!
So wonderfully interpreted. This calmness and tenderness really touches me. And the choir fits in so well. The best interpretation I know. I can't get enough of that sound and triggering feeling
Exceptional beautiful interpretation by currentzis and amazing performance , choir and orchestra, with on top of it all this beautyfull performing simone kermes so calm and dedicated......
It touches the grief and melancholy and longing that is lingering within you and then, with gentleness, turns it a little more bearable by bringing out the sweetness that is found in the gloomiest of our life’s episodes. Truthful is he who says that music is divine.
yes, this interpretation is so far the very best I ever heard ! You don't realise it is ' philological' , as it is so fluent, natural, intense.. and does not need any horrible vibrato.. thanks a lot to ' gardenofmusician'
Live in Madrid (concert version of the opera) the 18th of november at the Teatro Real with the Kermès and Currentzis. Just superb! Discreet, poignant. The choir was astonishing. So far the best interpretation I've ever heard. Thank you for sharing.
Jehudi Menuhin once called this the most beautiful aria ever written. Nobility obliges and thus presses a heavy burden on the shoulders of the performers. This performance with Simone Kermes is one of the two I know that masters this challenge with braviour and a not to surpassing drama. As a crowning, even and tremendous conclusion follows the final chorus "with drooping wings ye cupids come".
"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."
merveilleux .On percoit qu' elle est" "déjà" avec les anges avec ce "no troube no trouble in my breast" parfaitement phrasé par cette magnifique soprano qu'est Simone Kermès Merci
Simone Kermes canta casta diva con una voce bella, calma, suadente e coinvolgente che accarezza il cuore. Però, fra gli ascoltatori vi sono molti melomani che non sanno apprezzare altri che il proprio cantante preferito e anziché apprezzare e godere del bello che vi è in ogni diversa interpretazione, si tappano le orecchie, disprezzano il cantante e rifiutano l'interpretazione dell'intero brano . Paolo M
After this performance there is no point listening of other performances...I am sorry for other great performers of this masterpeace, but it is simply so...
Saw this performed at Trinity Episcopal Church on Los Olas Boulevard in Fr. Lauderdale, FL-Seraphic Fire, period instruments, thank you Mr. Quigley. Unforgettable.
Such an amazingly gentle voice and absolutely great composition. Unbelievable beautiful and very very sad. This should run in my head by the hour of my death please which hopefully is still some time away - but the imagination that everything just becomes dark (or bright xD ) while playing this music would be a pretty cool end.
When after death, the Soul is in the overwhelming plenitude and light of the spirituel world again, there is fulfillment and no more ego and loneliness, without losing consciousness in harmony/congegation with countless other Beings........... This music is melancholic but also hopeful, apart from sad (for me)...Listen also Jessey Normans performance, different but both very beatiful (Jessey is more earth connected)..
This song made me rediscover baroque and it nearly moved me to tears the first time i heard it, i'm not particularly cultivated in classical music albeit the fact i've studied it with music history i think modern music should look further back for inspiration (i'm planning on writing a baroque inspired space rock progressive rock track with this great new band)
C'est juste grandiose, magique, plus qu'émouvant la voix de cette chanteuse...saisissant...j'écoute en boucle...c'est beau !!

Try Xenia Meijer - and of course Emma Kirkby
Condoglianze: mi dispiace
Please, don't cry, though, I'm more than sure your dearest mother's worth of crying 🌷
The best version I heard. No heroic vibrato, no hysteric ff, all is simple and very natural, tempo is also very pleasant. The choir part is also perfect, good balanced accents and dynamics.
I'm quite fond of Andreas Scholl's version, as all.
I totally agree, especially the ff
Have you heard the Jeff Buckley version? I can't find a really good recording but the bad recordings fit the song so well!
Pure to the period, and more powerful for it.
Excellent Interpretation. Just listen to the horrible version of J. Norman! Reminds you of a dying drama queen, pompous and exagerrated
There is only one word you need to describe this, exquisite. Pain and beauty conjoined.
Incomparably delicate version, a real lament that goes deep in the heart. By far the best version I have ever heard.
Επιτέλους και μία Ελληνίς !!!

You can't have heard Jessye Norman then.

@@malcolmdale not really worth it.
Dearest Henry, the greatest composer England ever had.
I agree 🎶♥️
Why must this be so beautiful? It hurts and touches me with its beautiful melancholy.
Keep coming back to this version, for me the best rendition
Drie uur geleden je reactie 🙂. Wat een schoonheid hè.
Frans van den Berg Heel mooi!
In the fog of the countryside today. I could not listen to something else❤
Dido's lament is about the entire western world anno 2021. Very beautiful version, Purcell's music is incomparable, unique.
The west is not dying
That is ridiculous!
They said the same about the Dark and Middle ages!!
Here we are... Rejoice.
Remember Me, is the lament.
Beauty is with us, as is modern civilisation!
😂🇮🇪🎉🎊❤️🎁🎂🙏😂
To this version of Dido's Lament...

Thank You to the up loader!!

I love this version as it is not only beautiful but minimal which makes it even more emotional. Thank you
This is exquisitely beautiful.
sheer brilliance! Genius performance
Simone's voice is exquisite. So clear, and flows effortlessly. I envy her. I wish I could sing.
A WONDERFUL VERSION . BOTH TEODOR CURRENTZIS AS WELL AS SIMONE KERMES ARE WONDERFUL, CREATING A SUPERB CLARITY .
This song is a surrender,
“Death is now a welcome guest”
I love the sweet, decay as the accompanying melody descends...
As ego, and body fall away.
All that’s left is that high clear
“Remember meeee”
Pride dies around 15 min after the body is dead.
Бесподобно! Так передать в песне: тоску, грусть, печаль и неизбежность разлуки!!! Просто рвет душу!
Precies !
Wonderful rendition.
The dynamics here are perfect. The composer would have loved the very careful breathing between strings and singer.
Now to get the CD.
This is the first version that really gave me chills, in the good way. Wonderful rendition!
+jcsv12345 yes i agree
To me as well.

PERFECTION....................no words......
Very interesting version of this masterpiece! Simone's voice is so beautiful and the choir is perfection; they are so in sync it's almost unreal!?! 😍
Beautiful piece with beautiful voice..
Bravo 👏
Wunderschöne Stimme! Ich bewundere Simone Kermes seit vielen Jahren💖
Heartbreaking beautiful
Ah, finally . This is the most relaxing and beautiful version I ever heard

Na vele jaren nog steeds de meest aangrijpende uitvoering.
Одно из моих любимейших музыкальных произведений.. Спасибо!
Αυτή η εκπληκτική μουσική ανοίγει μέσα μου την σκουριασμένη πύλη της καρδιάς για να περάσει το θαύμα της τέχνης φορτωμενο με τις θειες
έννοιες.
Simone kermes ist eine wunderbare Sängerin und ich bin so stolz das ich als Kind mit ihr auf der Bühne stehen durfte :-)
Hauntingly beautiful.....💔
quelle douceur, quelle délicatesse, quelles émotions...merci pour ce très beau partage, belle découverte...
Wonderful, there's a great intimacy and deepness of grief.

Only the barque music can produce this this sweet refined, delicate sadness
superbe interprétation ! force et douceur ...magnifique.
"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."
thank you
Beautiful
Exquisite conducting, voice 💎 & ensemble. Thoughtful generous slow tempo. Very very rare all at once.
Merci pour cette video qui est magnifique et cette soprano Simone Kermès et la musique de Teodor vous emportes au paradis une pure merveille merci.
Wonderful ...I love Simone Kermes..
I love your voice, Simone, thank you!
Qué preciosidad. Maravillosa Simone, como siempre, demostrando la calidad áurea y versatilidad de su voz. Bravissima!
A hauntingly beautiful rendition by a wonderful ensemble.
Simone Kermes a une voix magnifique!
L'œuvre de Henry Purcell est d'une beauté intemporelle!
Amazing, restful piece of music with a fantastic soprano
Une douceur exquise... Vraiment, quelle voix !
A wonderful discovery, both her and the conductor. Now my favourite version of a favourite piece.
Great artistry.
merveilleux .On percoit qu' elle est" "déjà" avec les anges avec ce "no troube no trouble in my breast" parfaitement phrasé par cette magnifique soprano qu'est Simone Kermès Merci
Actually, I didn't remember Mrs. Kermes being sooo good, so delicate. But I have to admit, this is absolutely mesmerising!!!! Unbelievable!!
La meilleure version !
Hermosísima interpretación!
such a performance. such a gentle brilliance.
i loved Von Otter's, but this
touches my all...
so different than the other performances I have heard. beautiful!
Самое проникновенное и трепетное исполнение!!!
Meraviglioso. Straziante.
Superbe et profondément émouvant...
Of course we will remember you, Henry Purcell.
Love this version. Thanks!
Onvoorstelbaar goed en haarzuiver. Mooiste uitvoering ooit!!
höre ich gerade zum ersten Mal. Wie innig und schön! Und auch ungewöhnlich.
maravillosa Simone
Perfection.
Just a perfect rendition
je ne peux m'en lasser même si j'en suis retourné à chaque fois
this was so absolutely sweet!

quite pure this, gently understated but sweet and true
So far the best version
After this performance there is no point listening of other performances...I am sorry for other great performers of this masterpeace, but it is simply so...
La voz languidece: amante, dulce, bellísima
Saw this performed at Trinity Episcopal Church on Los Olas Boulevard in Fr. Lauderdale, FL-Seraphic Fire, period instruments, thank you Mr. Quigley. Unforgettable.
Simone, c'est du velours, merci.😋
La más acongojante versión de esta aria. Simone Kermes es simplemente prodigiosa
Such an amazingly gentle voice and absolutely great composition.
Unbelievable beautiful and very very sad.
This should run in my head by the hour of my death please which hopefully is still some time away - but the imagination that everything just becomes dark (or bright xD ) while playing this music would be a pretty cool end.
When after death, the Soul is in the overwhelming plenitude and light of the spirituel world again, there is fulfillment and no more ego and loneliness, without losing consciousness in harmony/congegation with countless other Beings...........
This music is melancholic but also hopeful, apart from sad (for me)...Listen also Jessey Normans performance, different but both very beatiful (Jessey is more earth connected)..
berührend, ergreifend
Etwas Traurigeres findet man sonst in keiner Oper.
This song made me rediscover baroque and it nearly moved me to tears the first time i heard it, i'm not particularly cultivated in classical music albeit the fact i've studied it with music history i think modern music should look further back for inspiration (i'm planning on writing a baroque inspired space rock progressive rock track with this great new band)
totally agree with you!
