Pre-order the 10th Anniversary Edition of 'A Christmas Cornucopia': AnnieLennox.lnk.to/ChristmasCornucopiaID
“For the 10th Anniversary of A Christmas Cornucopia we wanted to offer something a little bit different than the original album. Dido’s Lament was an almost forgotten recording I made a decade ago which was randomly unearthed from (co -producer) Mike Steven’s studio during lockdown earlier this year... It is the most profoundly haunting and melancholic aria from the opera written by English composer Henry Purcell approximately 300 years ago, where heartbroken Dido prepares to commit suicide. It occurred to me there was a comparison to the destruction human beings have brought upon the Planet. When it comes to climate catastrophe, we are on the edge of abyss. I really believe we don’t have much time left to make an effective change. We are looking at a civilization on the downwards side. This is the truth of this matter. It’s staring us in the face and we are not paying any significant attention –continuing on as if it doesn’t exist. I see Dido’s Lament as a lament for our dying planet.” – Annie Lennox

Amazing and so very beautiful. It is so moving. The pain and turmoil of Annie Lennox’s voice in this song causes such heartbreak. Phenomenal voice, phenomenal lyrics and a phenomenal video. What an early Christmas present. Thank you, Annie Lennox

This gorgeous Purcell piece sung by one of our most beautiful artists. Thank you, Annie.

Oh, my word. And I am lost for words. Breathtakingly, heart-achingly beautiful. Annie Lennox has taken this glorious and always-moving Purcell aria, respected the original and, together with the accompanying video, created something new; pointed, powerful, poignant and of the moment. Thank you Ms Lennox - always one of my favourite composers and singers. (My favourite original Dido? Janet Baker, naturally :-) But this version is now my joint favourite. And my first love is classical music, so this is some praise.)

It takes a lot of talent to interpret this artwork. Annie Lennox' is one of the best in the industry. Some classical and mythological works can be enlightened by a new generation of artists, who are also story tellers, that keeps the cultural movement's alive.

Thank you for your artistict gifts Ms. Lennox. Thank you for honoring and bringing to light Henry Purcell's artistic gifts. This video along with the beautiful song certainly brings out a powerful message we would do well to listen to and act upon. It is urgent that we work to save our planet. Our home is on fire. Individually and collectively we can end the destruction.

For 10 years this gem was hidden from us and I can't undertand why! This may be the best piece on A Christmas Cornucopia. It's as angelic as Christmas was meant to be! A whole choir of Annies never sounded so good! Thank you for releasing this, oh and if there are more hidden gems like this one, please release them!

Beautiful reminder to care about this Planet. Been a fan from the beginning . Thanks for caring .

I've seen it twice - both times equally as powerful, equally as beautiful - that extraordinary voice - and both times in tears. What an anthem for the planet. What on earth have we done to it and the beautiful creatures we share it with? I hope this will help to raise awareness and individual action that will ultimately put sufficient pressure on governments worldwide to take horrifically belated steps for change before it's too late. I can dream....

This is crazy, I'm reading the Aeneid in my Latin class! What are the odds that two of my favorite things, Latin, and Annie's music, would ever combine?

What a wonderful piece of art. Sublime ,nostalgic and epic. And that voice!!! Out of this world. It's like ascending to the realm of the gods. The divine and unique Annie Lennox!!!

Christmas Cornucopia along with Sting’s If On a Winter’s Night are my two very favourite Christmas albums. ❤️⛄️🎄✨❄️✨🎄⛄️

Both have never stopped. Stewart Lindsey is one of the most refreshing acts I have heard in a long time. David and Annie are the real thing. Nothing can take that away from either

I hope Annie will make more music in this period & although this is an older song, I hope she will record new material and give us more music and mini live performances !

There's a touch of the sacred.
No hint of the profane.

Great art, words of wisdom and concern, alert bells. That's what the world needs. That's what we expect from the great artists of our times. Thank you!
