Simone Kermes sings Purcell perfectly! All the slides and variations in the melody are 100% Baroque and beautiful!

Wow! The first good version since Blanche Marchesi's 78rpm disc made privately in her old age, which, while vocally perfect, has the drawback of a clunky piano accompaniment and less-than-hifi recording. Kermes proves that there's no need for hysteric over-emphasis and wobbly tremolo a la Callas or Netrebko. PLEASE Simone, now give us good recordings of Verdi, Wagner, Strauss and Puccini in this same, pure and utterly beautiful style, maybe for the first time in a hundred years!!

wunderbar. Das stille und feine kann Simone also auch...

Her vibrato is virtually nonexistent, and she uses some techniques characteristic of popular music on her voice sometimes. But she has a good voice, and this is one of the most beautiful arias ever...

@hrryzdlr : Jessye norman has a beautiful voice, but what she does with this opera has very little to do with baroque. This version is much closer to the way opera's were performed in the 17th and 18th century. So you shouldn't call this "the variations"

i think i prefer the sheer dramatic power of jessye norman
but i love hearing the variations

@hrryzdlr Though I am a big fan of Kermes, this aria calls for a much darker tone. Not being a native english speaker her diction is at times very poor. Norman's voice is a great one but much too powerful for this part. The most perfect version of this work without doubt is sung by Dame Janet Baker. It's just a shame that is was recorded in the days before the Baroque revival and used modern instruments as opposed to authentic. Guaranteed to bring tears to the eyes!
