  • Absolutely Stunning! Thank you for sharing

  • è una esecuzione meravigliosa...........

  • When I finally realized she was trying to bury herself, the tears which I struggled to hold back gushed forth like the waters from an opened dam.

    Brilliant, brilliant, by all accounts brilliant!

  • Good,  but see the Great Janet Baker singing the same aria........ brilliant.

  • Purcell - Dido & Aeneas Rotterdam Stadsschouwburg Dido: Xenia Meyer Aeneas: Maarten Kongingsberger Belinda: Irene Maessen Second woman: Machteld Baumans First magician: Annett Andreisen First witch: Vera Lansink Second witch: Caroline Erkelens Combattimento Consort Amsterdam Conducted by Jan Willem de Vriend
  • If anyone can watch this without crying or at least feeling misty, they must surely have a heart of stone!

  • Emozionante!

  • This is my most beloved opera . I think this performance is the best of all recordings; not only the singing but also the scene. I was deeply moved by hearing and seeing it. It is a pitty that nobody seems to know exactly who performed it and on which Cd or DVD it came out.

  • Bu1garka..... Xenia Meijer sings the lament.

  • Thank You for the answer. I already thought that . But do You know what orkestra played the opera, which conductor, other solists and which choir? It is a pitty that not the whole opera, I mean this particular performance, is on YouTube. It is so wonderfull nice.

  • she is my teacher :)

    this was made for dutch TV in 1999 I think. I have the entire dvd, another student of her sent it to me.

    I cannot run that right now, cause I am on a mac, and it's for pc.

    Are you in the netherlands too? If I can copy this, I could send it to you, of upload it in rapidshared or smth. What do you say??

  • OMG! I am willing to pay money for the DVD, I have searched for this a good month. Do you know where I can obtain this one?

  • @ emalag999 ANCHE a me piacerebbe poterlo AVERE . é possibile ?

  • @emalag999

    Ik zou heel graag een kopie van deze opname ontvangen. Kunnen we even kontakt hierover hebben? Mijn adres: info@effeff.nl

  • yesss Bu1garka!!

    for me too!!!

    i also don´t know about the cd or dvd.:-(((...its perfect!!!!

  • With Drooping Wings was better than the lament...

  • Wonderful!

  • Beautiful added ornamentation, most people do it comme scritto and I hate it in Baroque! Its even worse when a bel canto aria is sung as written without any ornamentation, I believe personal ornamentation plays a huge part in a soprano's interpretation.

  • Soy estudiante de latin , me toco ler la Eneida y me interese por la opera de Dido y Eneas.

    Un video esplendido!

    Saludos desde España!

    Realmente emocionante.

  • Hell! This is good! Is this De Vriend's Barockband?

  • schlechte qualität... aber schön^^

  • This is just amazing!

    Where can I get this on DVD?

  • It was released on dvd june 2008.

    Available on Amazon etc...

    I'm getting a copy!!

  • hm.. I can't find it..! do you have a link?

  • sorry!! I posted an anwer to something else....damn!!

    sorry ;-(

  • Wonderful! For my opinion the best performance of Didos lament, even better than that of Janet Baker and M. Gregor Lütje from the Tölz boys choir.

  • faboulosa!

  • Beautiful performance

  • OK, she's gorgeous but even ignoring the horrible quality of this clip, she doesn't begin to compare with Janet Baker on the video from Glyndebourne, 1966. Just see JB's incredible voice control and accuracy. The Best!

  • the best dido´s lament

  • Sorry to not agree with u, I have seen many times Xenia singing and she is so so amazing..pity u didnt heat her in a concert, but it is never too late, she has an active career:)

  • This is amazing!

    Is is possible to have this opera on dvd?

    LG

    Niwi

  • she does have exceptional control Brava

  • impresionante

  • Hallo everyone. Indeed, this great singer is Xenia Meijer. If you want to see a better quality of two of her arias, just write her name on youtube and u will see them. About the dvd..There is not one on the market, but I got a quite good one copy of the complete opera.

  • I confirm. This is Xenia Meyer.

    one of the best contemporary mezzo's

  • Hi there. Do u actually have a dvd of this opera (copy). Is it possible to send it to me?

    Thanks a lot

  • +1 everyone elses comments- great performance & I'd love it if it could be found on DVD.

  • Well, I also think this is an amazing performance. I found this: "The staged production of Dido and Aeneas with Opera aan het Spui, in which she sang the part of Dido, was filmed for the Dutch television and has been broadcasted many times." I think is this one, so the singer is Xenia Meijer, and you can see a better copy of it under her name in youtube. enjoy it!

  • I think its Francine Van der Heijden. but it would be amazing if someone finds out about this recording.

  • Hi.well I fpund this: "The staged production of Dido and Aeneas with Opera aan het Spui, in which she sang the part of Dido, was filmed for the Dutch television and has been broadcasted many times." If this is the one, the singer is Xenia Meijer.

  • Tremendous performance -- I only wish there were a copy of this with fewer artifacts / background noise.

  • forgive my ignorance but who's is this amazing performer? I too would love to track down a recording (DVD, VCR, audio only, whatever). Thanks in advance

  • Simple, natural and very strong expression.

    Thanks a lot for sharing!

    I'd like to buy the DVD if available and not too costly. Where is it available or who released it?

  • Very original production and emotionally moving. She has a strong voice and can match Janet Baker in this complex role. Like earlier commentators I would like to know if a DVD exists ? Thanks for sharing it with us.

  • I agree, this is one of the best performances on video I've ever seen of Dido, or really any opera.

  • is there a dvd of this?

  • This is really good. I really really really adored it. I could not find one thing I disliked...

  • can i find this on DVD?...if so can you give me a title and number for it....thanks~!

  • can anyone tell me if i can get the DVD of this?

    please~!

  • yes, if anyone could find me this performance without the cut, i'd be very happy...

  • i cried..

  • she gives a moving performance.

  • i wish they could be numberd and this cut would fixed.
