Cecile de Boever and Susan Graham reveal their souls in the most moving performances of those arias/arioso I´ve ever seen. I listened to the CD-recording many, many times but to watch them singing is a different dimension. This video makes me really crying.
In 0:43 I think she's thinking of the French word "fourni", meaning a "full" orchestra, but quickly and gracefully realizes that "furnished" is a "false friend" and not the right translation in this context.
the way how Susan Graham makes the sound of "remember me" more ligthen is heartbreaking . There is " no trouble in my (her)breast". This is pure emotion , far away from false pathos. ....
Haim is the Barbra Streisand of Early Music. I mean that as the highest of compliments. (From a former countertenor who has performed The Spirit's 1-minute recitative.)
Haim é um dos grandes nomes da interpretação barroca dos nossos dias. Impôs seu nome à Berliner Philharmoniker. Seu conjunto Le Concert d'Astrée gravou sob sua regência uma notável versão do Messiah, de Handel.
This confirms the impression I had from first hearing the recording ... Dido is both a queen and a woman wronged. Graham's Dido is touching, vocally shattering ... but she is all wronged woman with very little hint of the queen. I can't say this is a disappointment, as her portrayal is so utterly convincing. On this video, you can utterly see that she is embodying the saddest music in the world.
Emmanuelle Haim is world class gift to mankind. Her genius allows us to tag along as she re-reveals early music that is simply splendid!

I have never heard nothing more human and beautiful than that...a superlative, deep performance

Wonderful
Just great - the best interpretation of The Sailors' Dance I've heard.
Impossível não interpretar essa música sem sentimento... Belíssima interpretação!

Impressionantemente ispirati
Susan Graham is the best Dido since Kirsten Flagstad. Well . . . let us not forget Janet Baker.
