Barbara Bonney "Thy hand, Belinda...When I am Laid in Earth" Henry Purcell

[mariannenatasja]

This is divine singing, - so wonderful! - could the uploader tell me where these expressive statues are found. They are so amazingly suited to this song! - I would love to photograph some of these statues or buy some photographs of them as I also make slideshow videos for my recorded songs. I've struggled to find photos to express sorrow and you've given me inspiration with this. Go well!

Hello mariannenatasja,

I am very pleased that you enjoyed Ms. Bonney's video. Unfortunately I do not know where these cemeteries are located. When I made the video I just Googled images of cemeteries and then selected the images that I thought would convey the message of this song. Thanks for viewing the video and for commenting.

Beautiful video, and, needless to say, supreme artistry. Thank you.

[acatalano2641]

@paulostroff99

Thank you Paul my pleasure to post such lovely singing :)

[HarmonicNature]

Barbara Bonney is amazing here! 3:30 is perfect; some sopranos don't know how to sing high notes softly, but Ms. Bonney certainly does! Thank you so much for posting this beautiful song!

[tenorschofield]

When hearing to Miss Bonney, I tend to beleive that God himself dictated this music to Purcell as tradition often says...her angel voice really touches my most inner sensible fibers. Thanks for helping me rediscover myself.Thanks for sharing this jewell with all us!!!!

[acatalano2641]

@tenorschofield

We all have and need Divine inspiration in our lives and it is wonderful to share our gifts with one another.

[MattiasXL]

Fantastic. Too many people read Baroque music as systematic, precise and static. This brings the music out of it! Fabulous!

[acatalano2641]

@MattiasXL

Ms Bonney is the best.

She recorded this song in one take :)

[turetskygambit]

Very beautiful performance. Thanks for uploading! Does anybody know what cemetery(s) is in teh pictures. The sculptures are great!

[acatalano2641]

@turetskygambit

Thank you.

Sorry but I don't know the name of the cemetery.

[ryanlock2u]

Her diction and clarity is to kill for...

[acatalano2641]

@ryanlock2u

Please don't kill...just enjoy Ms Bonney's beautiful voice :)

[acatalano2641]

@mhjuliette

No rehearsals either.

Ms Bonney = incomparable singer, musician, teacher and mentor.

[Hallasun]

Just beautiful. have listened to at least a dozen recordings of this - this and Veronique Gens are my favourite.

[Chescaxx]

amazing.. in a melancholy sort of way!

[acatalano2641]

It is a sad song - Ms Bonney convey's the mood and lyric of the song to perfection.

[Wavewolfaroha]

The most beautiful interpretation of this, my favorite aria of all, and a video that is equally artistic in capturing the pathos of this lament. Brava, acatalano!

[acatalano2641]

Grazie my friend.

[lacigarrados]

[acatalano2641]

[nettie0004]

Beautiful-love Purcell and this is a glorious rendition by the wonderful Barbara Bonney, her voice is perfect for Baroque Music. The video is perfect too! It captures the mood so well.

[acatalano2641]

inspired by Ms. Bonneys stellar

interpretation of Purcell. Her

voice is glorious in every sense

of the word!

Thank you very much :)
