Comments and Reviews

Gill Sans SUBS 27th Mar 2016		The 43 tracks have been summarised above. Dido's Lament is to Classical music what Summertime is to Jazz: invite any amateur singer on stage and they will want to sing one or other! Emily van Evera sings it to perfection here, in a light, lyric soprano, contrasting with the more mezzo voices of most famous and knighted performers. Purcell would have been familiar with the 'weeping bass' descending figure on the lute which introduces the Lament, from Matthew Locke (Duos in C) if not from earlier precedents. Someone has kindly uploaded this very performance on YT
