<< O.K. I'll change the question! What are listers' favourite Henry Purcell(of

Strike the Viol! I had the fantastic good luck to have performed it with
YoYo Ma when he was still a teenager and I a twenty-something. I love that
song! Really fun!!
Please, soprano types, when you program Dido's Lament, call it Dido's Lament
and not "When I am Laid," as my college mate in Texas did. "Music for
Awhile," Peggy's or P.J.'s signature, is a gorgeous song! "The Blessed
Virgin's Expostulation" is one I've wanted to do, but have never found the
occaision. Has anyone hereabouts performed it?
