From a concert at Expo '67 in Montreal, the Grande Dame of Canada shows the world how to sing Dido (IMHO)! John Newmark on piano. Personally, I can never get enough of Forrester's art. Somewhere out there is a video profile of Maureen Forrester(1930-2010) titled "Diva in Winter". I pray it surfaces and the world can see and hear more of her art.
Dido's lament from Dido & Aeneas by Henry Purcell. "Remember me..." Maureen will always be remembered! Rest in Peace!
