Today's Classical Corner... Henry Purcell AND Klaus Nomi!
Incredibly powerful performance, especially considering Nomi was gravely ill at the time.
This composition is Henry Purcell's interesting and haunting 'The Cold Song', an aria from his English 17th century baroque opera King Arthur.

Purcell died in 1695 from incurable T.B. aged 36, while in 1983 Klaus sadly died succumbing to complications due to Aids, aged 39.
Both men were remarkably talented but died so young.

I will add another surprising rendition worthy of hearing and seeing. then, i shall bid you good night!
