The definite version of this breathtaking piece was composed by John Dankworth, and sung by his wife, Dame Cleo Laine. This is pretty, but is lightweight, whereas Dankworths melody is profound in it's beauty, which matches the grace of Shakespeare.
Once you have listened to David Gilmour, this sounds sort of awful. It can't be helped. It sounds forced upon the poem. It kills the poem as we know it. Probably different words and the same tune would have been a more fortunate combination.
Helen Sjöholm is world class
What a beautiful setting of Shakespeare's Sonnet No.18. And what a fantastic singer!
