I’ve been searching for versions of Dido’s Lament and this is the most poignant I’ve heard. Many thanks to Mr Sheppard for the broadcast!

I heard this sung at a celebration of Dante Gabriel Rosetti and Lizzie’s (Pre-Raphealites) wedding in Hastings old town by a local soprano and it made me cry! I’ve been obsessed since and it just stays in my head….

I’d be so grateful for any information! Many thanks.

She knew the one time I’d seen Jeff Buckley live (in Wolverhampton after the Grace album came out) I’d reckoned it to have been the greatest rock show I ever saw, and she wanted me to hear a “proper” musician (if that’s not too patronising) speak highly of Jeff as an innately and uniquely talented musician and singer. I thought you put across your stunned reaction to his rendition of “Dido’s Lament” quite beautifully and I’m just as pleased to see the piece on this blog.

Am now following you on Twitter so we’ll see which new musical avenues that may take me down.

Thanks

I too heard your piece on R4 and really thank you for bringing this piece of magic to wider attention. Beyond moving. I was already a Jeff Buckley fan but that performance was stunning!

I have listened and re-listened to this on iPlayer and am going to feel bereft when it is no longer available. The combination of your descriptionof the event and its effect on you, and his singing, is quite overwhelming. I’d never been really aware of Jeff Buckley before, but he’s in my heart to stay…

As it is, I’ve been playing it over and over the last few days. No, he wasn’t technically brilliant, but that wasn’t the point was it – it was just amazing, magical even.
