Maureen Forrester sings Dido's Lament

From a concert at Expo '67 in Montreal, the Grande Dame of Canada shows the world how to sing Dido (IMHO)! John Newmark on piano. Personally, I can never get enough of Forrester's art. Somewhere out there is a video profile of Maureen Forrester(1930-2010) titled "Diva in Winter". I pray it surfaces and the world can see and hear more of her art.

Dido's lament, "Remember me..." Maureen will always be remembered! Rest in Peace!

Lors d'une croisière de musique en Méditerranée(1976) j'ai fait la connaissance de Maureen Forrester.Une voix remarquable et émouvante.

Une femme admirable avec beaucoup d'humour ! Carlo Malané

What a privilege to be able to listen to this magnificent singing. I loved her voice and her artistry. How cruel her final years were.

GLORIOUS!!! And a Happy New Year to you!

Magnificently tragic, passionately, heartwrenchingly lovely.

This is an exquisite interpretation.

Thank you for this. New to me. I had the privilege of hearing her perform many times in the 60s & 70s. Such resonance and fullness in her vocal tones. My favorite singer...
