  • I recorded this glorious aria when I was still at college even though it's not how I would interpret it now, I love reflecting on these old recordings.
    Dido's final aria from Purcell's Dido and Aeneas.
    Performed by Esme Bronwen-Smith, mezzo-soprano, and Dylan Perez, piano.
    Filmed by Alisdair Kitchen.

    I really like the vibrato in the lower parts of her voice, and the little breathless sounds she incorporated.

    Beautiful. The singing was fantastic too. I love the line "remember me, forget my fate" - somehow so comforting in a time of loss.

    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.

    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!

    Thy hand, Belinda, darkness shades me,
    On thy bosom let me rest,
    More I would, but Death invades me;
    Death is now a welcome guest.
    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.
