May I ask if this is C Minor or A Minor?

Dang those are some big honkin' violas.

...aaand the winner is:Angela Hicks!

Simply beautiful.

Not only beautiful, melody, but the delivery of the well written words make this a enrichly experience, thank you

Masterfully done - what I noticed in this performance was her light aerie head voice that she used on the high notes instead of belting them. (this is a death scene she slowly getting weaker light fading voice is correct approach for that drama) and she uses baroque musical ornaments at appropriate places in the piece (trills - appoggiaturas - etc.) strings were great too.

WOW! What depth of voice!❤

This is a beautiful interpretation

Beautiful!!

Janet Baker will own this aria forever.

Her voice is beautiful, but I wasn’t crazy about some of the interpretive choices. Also, the violin flourishes didn’t fit Dowland’s style, and were too Italianate for my taste. Still, some really lovely moments!

Gorgeous voice.ijust wish she made it LOOK easier

Perfect!!!

It was moving, and beautiful. For music that is all that matters.

Omg this is beautiful! Voice is thicker than Jif peanut butter!!!

L'interprétation, pleine de douceur, de Madame Fiona Campbell, convient à ma sensibilité.

Her voice is perfectly beautiful but I really prefer this with fewer instruments as they tend to drown out the vocal. Give me a viol and lute any day.

Ms. Campbell’s voice is warm and rich. I don’t care if it doesn’t sound “period”-it’s a valid and beautiful song interpretation.

Perfect example of a cameraman not knowing what to focus on and the director not telling them. Superfluous and totally inappropriate and unnecessary trills. Dido is in the process of dying, so would not add these embellishments. Purcell knew best.

Very nice video.............. 👍 💞 ✔️

BEAUTIFUL. THANKS.

I'm not a fan of this version. It tends to drag so there's little sense of direction and it gets stuck. There are weird shadow vowels which don't lend themselves to the interpretation. The tuning is also pretty ropey. I feel like she is very musically intuitive but doesn't have instrument to quite bring her vision to life.

Magnificent interpretation. The delicacy of the phrasing is coupled with the instrumental accompaniment. Mrs. Fiona Campbell is the Diva, as I could imagine for a very long time.

Fantastic.

A masterpiece aria for ever and ever.

horrível ,hediondo ,péssimo ,bestial ,perdeu toda a plenitude,beleza, melancolia e pureza de Dowland

I love this interpretation, it’s refreshing to hear a well balanced mezzo moving gracefully through the passagio on this piece.

molto bello...

Encantador estilo de voz, acompañado de sensibilidad y belleza. Digna interpretación.

Grande musica, grande interprete. Commovente...

For me the arrangement destroys the lute song ... its not an opera aria ... it is a little very dark emotional piece that centers on the voice. For me it's overarrange and by way to dramatically sung. Again its not Purcell. But they are trying to make into. The voice is good but overdramatic where colour and shades of the voice need to create that certain Downland Saudade

Fiona, such wonderful control on the higher notes at 3:30 in the video on 'remember me'. Such good support on those notes, which allowed you to 'back off' the power and treat it in a beautiful legato fashion! Loved the melisma and the one trill that I heard. Such good Baroque interpretation! I was in Dido and Aeneas several years ago as Aeneas, singing opposite Amanda Crider as Dido and she did a stellar versions of the Lament. Many segments of this show were uploaded to RUclips and perhaps you'd enjoy seeing what our production in Juneau, Alaska looked like: ruclips.net/video/arff6YF1458/видео.html

A voice like chimes. Lovely.

So honoured to be her school mate back in the early days in Perth, Australia. Wonderful to hear this song being sung so beautifully. The arrangement with strings was just magnificent!

The introductory 'folía' is a very good idea!

May I know what do you call on that performance ?

Splendid!

Best

Fiona es maravillosa. La orquesta suena horrible.

schön bewegt

If you could play this music on a jaw harp it would still be wonderful. . .this version is a little self indulgent and touchy-feely for me. . .but still, a great effort.

Wonderful.

Beutiful 🌹 music!

Thank you. I sing this at the piano in dark times starting when I was 17 years old and did today. It is one of my favourite pieces to sing. Let us hope the covid 19 pandemic darkness and financial destruction of so many lifts soon. Actually Henry Purcell was alive at the time of London's worst plague - the Great Plague in the 1600s when 15% of those in London died so he probably knew only too well what we are suffering in London in 2020.

Yet too much vibrato for the period.

Very nice Interpretation;. We no Not know anything about the Original Interpretation. We just can like or dislike a new Interpretation. i like it.
