When I am laid, am laid in earth, may my wrongs create No trouble, no trouble in, in thy breast When I am laid, am laid in earth, may my wrongs create No trouble, no trouble in, in thy breast Remember me, remember me, but ah! Forget my fate Remember me, but ah! Forget my fate Remember me, remember me, but ah! Forget my fate Remember me, but ah! Forget my fate
gorgeous performance, bravo!
I'd be curious what your new interpretation would be, I already admire this version.
Love the piece and love the singer. What else is their....oh yes, of course, so effortless the pianist....this is the total package. Brava!
Beautiful!
Спасибо. Хотелось, чтобы это пение не заканчивалось.
4:24 she's about to...
Breathtaking. Thank you for sharing!
things to listen for - I think its important to not belt the high notes - in the opera she is dying - she drank poison - life is fading from her - she's getting weaker and weaker. Light and breathy head voice on those high notes! Also there are baroque vocal ornaments that could have been used more to make the performance more authentic. She has a beautiful voice without a doubt!
I don't think "belting" is a thing in opera
@@bestof1506 Sorry I didn't use the word fortissimo when I should have. Did you miss my point?
@@kendallparish5611 no I agree with you. I just see this "belting" everywhere and it's just confusing tbh
매력적인 메조 소프라노 브라바😍👍
Brava!!
Impressive, very nice.
Come è moderna l'armonia dell'aria. C'è qualcosa di non definito, che va oltre il senso letterale dell'affetto Bravissime interpreti
The outrage and irony in this song is beautifully expressed. Thanks to Ms. Bronwen-Smith for giving us her performance.
Años buscando de quien es la hermosa voz en el sencillo Get your shirt de Underworld con Iggy Pop y al fin la encuentro! ❤
WOW❤❤❤beautiful singing and reciting❤
So, so good!! Love your voice!
Fantastic!
Wow! What a voice!! Really wonderful!!
That performance of this aria was fabulous. So was the accompaniment. This deserves big recognition. Brava!
Bonjour. Cette interprétation est absolument magnifique. Thanks you
Great feeling on this version. Good job.
Wow!
Very thankful for this video! It’s my favorite performance that I found, so I played along with it at least 30 times preparing this song (on guitar) for a performance with a mezzo friend last week. It was so helpful!
Strong singin. Lovely. The music is not that interesting I think. Dove is walking a tight rope sometimes
amazing 💗
Bravissima grande interpretazione. Bella la la voce ottima la tecnica super
Brilliant!
We change as we get older. Better is subjective. Different, yes. Sometimes more polish detracts from a cruder iteration. I really enjoyed you singing this. Thank you.
Diva ❤
Wow, just beautiful! My favorite Faure song, and a stunning rendition! Gorgeous voice, too. Merci!
