    We so often see " The Cold Song" lifted out of context as a song of suffering, and here we have it in a well performed and likely close to authentic segment of " King Arthur". This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing.

    The best version available on YT, I think. A Cold Genius must be a baryton or a bass, and sing slowly.

    Great version! Love the visuals, especially Cupid. And the authentic instruments. Well done. Purcell was ahead of his time, love his build up and harmonies.The Chatter chorus is so modern as was his shiver idea in cold song. Still copied, see the opening of The Crown, artistic hommage! Though Purcell has probably taken his inspiration again from Lully's Isis)))

    Life is so unfair. Some people are just more blessed than others. Think of the gifts showered on that young woman: grace, beauty of face and form, and a clear, responsive voice, so right for Purcell; and a blonde, too (so I'm a guy; sue me). And to top it off, discipline and determination to make such fine use of her gifts. She has it all, and what a wonderful thing she has done here. Bravo.

    Il est propre au génie de l'homme que d'incrire ainsi son œuvre dans ce temps qui n'appartient qu'aux Dieux et que l'on nomme ÉTERNITÉ.
