I've seen a few of these art song and aria music videos. Angela Gheorghiu has done a few. I like the idea. Maybe they should have a Classical Much Music that plays all these videos and interviews singers and 21st century composers. Someday...

This is about 2 people being together. Where is the other person; the hands that lie open??

@jamianpal

while i love Bostridge i have to agree with you. The vid doesn't do the singer nor the composer justice. The song says "sky".. we see the sky, it says "field" we see a field.. *amused* . and the lip synch doesn't quite work. The timing is fine, but it feels unreal.. . .. reverb in a field ? ;p This said, i just change window and listen to the music :)

Bloody hell, you can't have listened to many versions! In my opinion this is too precious, lacking any fullness in voice. The dynamics are too held. It's as if he has been told that this song is some sweet ditty when really it is full of strong contrasts that are not realised in this rendition. Listen to Tom Allen, Quirk, Luxen and many others before this dull period of singing that we have to put up with today.

Rubbish.
