Beautiful. Truly gets to the heart of this interpretation as a cry of despair from all the too many lonely lost souls in our populated cities in their final forgotten and hidden moments alone before, just like Queen Dido of Carthage here consigning herself to dying in flames as love has left her, and she has no reason to continue.

Composed by Henry Purcell in 1688, telling the sad tale is Dido about to be abandoned by Aeneas who fleeing the Seige of Troy with his ship mates decides it's time to resume his voyage, and leave Carthage. Disbelieving his entreaties to stay, Dido knows that her fate is to die. 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. Remember me, but ah! forget my fate.

Beautifully sung and played. Helen is a treasure -- one of the most beautiful lyric mezzos on the scene today. Don't neglect Dame Janet Baker's several recordings, though. She owned the role of Dido -- both that of Purcell and of Berlioz.

Astounding combination although I've never followed Colgplay nor watched any of their videos. My kids have. Dido's Lament has long been favourite of mine and my tastes run from early music, through English folk, folk-rock, Celtic folk to ambient metal of English band Toska and many things between. Purcell reigns supreme. Who needs Mozart? Loved this

@@AnjaHuebel1 Well, but you might want to look them up on RU-vid. Their music is interesting. And you might want to look up the video, "The Scientist," that this video above is based on. Also interesting. I really like what OAE is doing here. For people who only know or like so-called pop music--and maybe for people who only like classical--they're making the point that all types of music can be good and worthy of attention. So to make an avant-garde video of a 300-year-old song, and do it so well, is truly stunning and can draw people in who haven't heard of or listened to Purcell before.

@carolynmay5070 3 года назад

Beautifully expressive vocals, but the backwards synchronising of the facial alignments is clumsy and detracts from the impact. Some of the 'background shots' seem frankly random; the editing is often unnecessarily fast, and is fragmented in such a way that the potential poignancy of the underlaying message is lost. The same contemporary themes could surely have been infinitely more effective simply filmed in forward motion, and with a little more subtlety. What a shame to distort such a powerful and sensitive rendering in this way.
