@pagerbear Hahaha, this made me laugh. But seriously, you have a point.

I have an idea: Let's totally forget the beauty of this particular performance by focusing on rather trite ideas about current assumptions about how Purcell heard it performed in his time. Because, you know, it's much more important to show how much we think we know than to enjoy the performance.

@XmisterIS It's not Purcell's day anymore.

Amazing soprano ... BUT ... it was never intended to be sung vibrato. In Purcell's day it would have been sung "plain".

Indeed. :-D I thought I could when I was younger - startled my neighbors when I used to blast the entire concert from which this aria was taken. I've long since lost the tape so my new neighbors have been spared. Ha. Miss that concert, though.

Hard to find - 'Live At Lincoln Center' archival material is nearly impossible to obtain - but I'll keep trying! ;-)
