Sang Libera Me at Princess Diana's Funeral


I've got to put a first post down for this woman. She has haunted me for 27 years.

She sang Libera Me from Verdi's Requiem at Princess Diana's funeral, and I remember chills taking me over as I sat in front of the TV. I've never forgotten it. I return to this YouTube clip of it, as grainy as it is which actually makes me even more nostalgic for that time, a few times a year and feel the same way. It's powerful.

Everybody talked about Elton John's tweak of "Candle in the Wind" from that day. Psssshhhh. It felt like I was listening to the radio. On the contrary, there was some element that was not of this world with Lynne Dawson's performance. https://youtu.be/hqvz3EtfGAo
