@americankgb all so-called origins of art are only a fiction, a lie.

-
Oh God!!! heartbreaking!!!!
-
Awesomeness.
-
This is absolutely riveting. She sings with such musicality-the notes covey the emotion you do not need to over act and this marvellous singer gives us something to remember her.

This is the only one, apart from Janet Baker's, which actually moves me. I think if you concentrate on the lyrics, the emotion takes care of itself. It's these 'listen to my voice' types, who, paradoxically, are the worst singers.

I like this too, the staging is nice, is there some sort of a bell in the strings playing? Or are my ears doing something odd? I think it is so moving because it is not overdone in a dramatic manner.
Good God! Why haven't I heard of Hanna van Niekerk? This is one of the most moving Laments I've heard. Thank you.

How much more beautiful a broken heart, than one unstirred and atrophied from non use? I would die like Dido a thousand times over, having known love for a fleeting moment, than live a life without love. The best art often has as its origin, a heart bereaved...
