This eloquent arrangement of 'When I am Laid in Earth' from Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas" is played by the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. It is conducted by Iona Brown who gave the sound extra colour by adding a harpsichord continuo to Leopold Stokowski's string-orchestra transcription. (From a Hänssler Classic CD with all due acknowledgements.)
