I cried.

I've always thought of this aria as out of place with the rest of the opera, if not the era. It's got such a "modern" sensibility, even in the original. Imo, it's a good choice as a modern era ballad.

It moved me to tears.

This is gorgeous

I am absolutely blown away!
If we would hear more of such performances, I would actually go to classical concerts!
This is sublimely beautiful... and very sad...

I am with cptmaz. Having also had a fairly thorough classical education, I much prefer this rendition to the alternative operatic style. I feel sure that Alison Moyet would have reduced Purcell to tears, had he known that the notes he penned would elicit such a depth of emotion.

So sad, My friend chose this for his funeral. Not long before he took his own life. RIP my dearest friend. xxxx

Vulgar? I grew up a classical musician (piano, violin, viola, recorders, renaissance lute, harpsichord etc). I was a music history major who participated in many early music consorts. I was moved by, and concentrated upon on Purcell's musick. I also received a classical education--one closely aligned with what Purcell would have had in his day. I have been to war in Iraq and Afghanistan. This rendition, while it is new to me, rends my soul every time. I think Purcell would have approved.

I think It is very interesting when pop singers dare to get into the risky field of classical music. There are not so many around. Even if they lack the technique needed for opera, like in this case, the result is quite unique. It´s unfair to compare her with opera singers. In fact, opera singers use to make horrible versions of pop and rock classic... Thanks for posting
