Dido’s Lament (When I am Laid) film inspired by Coldplay | Helen Charlston - Remember me - Purcell
With credit to Jamie Thraves, the Director behind the Coldplay video for ’The Scientist’.
In our latest digital adventure, we play with expectations of genre in this remake of Coldplay’s hit music video ’The Scientist’, with Purcell’s tragic ‘When I am Laid’ from Dido and Aeneas. The result is a modern-day drama, recorded around London.
Watch the original Coldplay video here:
Featuring OAE’s Rising Stars alumnus, mezzo-soprano Helen Charlston, our film is the second in a series of visually captivating remakes of iconic pop videos with baroque arias, to celebrate the enduring power of music, whatever the age.
Watch the first of our music video remake series featuring Baritone James Newby singing Handel’s Cara Pianta, inspired by Radiohead here:
If music is good, it’s good regardless of its genre. Love Coldplay. Love Purcell. Love Music.
This film is sponsored by Mark Allen Group, Gramophone.
