more than better, this interpretation is miles away from anay others..i just find it by chance, and more than delighted still srkewed on it. once upon a day...... had the same physical emotion with o solitude, i was'nt so keen with alfred deller version after all bur as it was the first time i heard it it was so superbb that i kept my mouth shut and let my ears open
I love the at stylised, choreographed staging of this, it feels so right it is sort of hypermodern yet very, very baroque. And the music just takes my breath away.
I am very grateful for the preservation of this peak in LHL's career. This may be her greatest role, and she's heard here in 1996, the same year she consolidated her rep as pure mezzo and became an international luminary. It was also in 1996 that I attended one of the most extraordinary recitals of my experience, LHL at the Y with the estimable S. Blier at the piano. This particular video cut also shows LHL's staggering ease at poised agility while moving in a Bacchic frenzy (2:33 - 3:03)!

Thanks for this upload. This is my favorite Lorraine scene in this Theodora production, along with her singing "As with rosy steps".
She is irreplaceable...

Lord, to Thee each night and day,
Strong in hope, we sing and pray.
Though convulsive rocks the ground,
And thy thunders roll around,
Still to Thee, each night and day,
We sing and pray.
Lord, to Thee. . . da capo
