Wilem Wrote:Good luck with the show, Wilem... Oh... Jessye Norman is a wonderful singer, or course, but I believe I prefer to remember Lisa and how she delivered "Dido's Lament" in our show a few years ago. It was ripping and sent goosepimples all over your body just listening to her dying and suffering...
This belter. Song of a dying woman.
Gunna be playing in this next week!
And yes, I will cry.
(How good is that dress?!)
Strange, when you think how young Purcell died... There was a different relation to death in his days, wasn't there?
The dress? Hmmm, not sure about it. But given that Dido was living in Carthagena she could have looked somewhat like Jessye. Lisa was a blonde girl from Finland, very inappropriate really, but blessed with such a beautiful voice... I'm glad to have met her and sung along her side. mile:
