  • Kirsten Flagstad sang Dido's lament as the final song in her very final public appearance; in London, a church concert. Not allowed to applaud, the audience stood up and wept loudly for 30 minutes when she left....

  • I prefer to listen to this beautiful music and enjoy it without worrying about being a critic. If you're not trying to judge style and minor details , it is just such a spiritual experience just to take it in emotionally.
