Veronique Gens Dido's Lament When I am laid in earth

[waldus261]

Amaizing legato



[MegaReath]

His voice is so pure ....

So emotional ...

so beautiful ...

she's so beautiful ...

the song is so sad ...

the pain as tearing ...

singers like her should not die ever ...

[MegaReath]

Su voz es tan pura....

Tan hemotiva...

tan hermosa...

ella es tan hermosa...

la cancion es tan triste...

el dolor tan desgarrante...

las cantantes como ella no deberian morir jamas...

Really wonderfull, very romantic, but still in style of Purcell. I don't know about the style changes/ adaptations. It really also depends on style of the director, and there's not just one right way, the're lots of different approaches.

But i really like the warmth and depth of this voice.

[raleighsquare]

Kirkby has groomed her voice and mind perfectly for Baroque masterpieces and especially for Purcell but I certainly like Jens equally as well. Maybe this is a warmer style?

[puffin02]

I like this more than the Kirkby. Either better production - for I have heard neither live - or this voice has more depth and resonance. And if you're talking about baroque convention, this has it. Perfect diction, slightly slower portamento, careful vibrato (but not absent), decorated repeats, but not too much. True, the instrumentation is not as the original, but you can go too far trying to recreate the original sound. The modern audience actually hears differently than the 17th century one.

Superbe interprétation, superbe voix, superbe personne !

[artdanks]

I LOVE this!!! Never heard of her before! WONDERFUL! And sooo gorgeous too! (Is it just me, or does she look a little like Callas?)

[GeorgeMaxwellDuPre]

@artdanks Just you.

But her voice is superb indeed.

[CrownedWithLaurels]

@artdanks Yeah, I see it! Just a little, but I see what you mean.

[judithjonesband]

The best classical version of this aria. tone, emotion and tempo are all appropriate and it is not oversung! Wonderful!

[mounia813]

Veronique Gens est aussi magnifique dans Mozart ,belle voix et émouvant sens

théâtral

[PatateRoussoiste]

Very very good one. But Kirkby > all

[rfdawn]

direct unflinching voice ideal for this role

[musodavid]

Not come across this singer before. Very impressive, lovely pure tone but slightly lacks the character that Kirkby brings to to the role.

[Slagert63]

Very good performance. Like it more then Kirkby!

[pianomags]

Adore and repect Les Arts Flor, wonderful sound. I probably end up finding what I'm looking for by The French, haw haw!

[cherrypuff4]

Beautiful!

[jamesy5466]

she mushes all the words together.

[TylerPCoughlin]

Cant find it anywhere on the net. She got to be the most elusive performer ever.
