Music reviews of Diana, Princess of Wales, 1961-1997: The BBC Recording of the Funeral Service
Music Review: A well-fitted tribute to a great lady who left us too soon!!
Rating: 5 Stars
I will never forget when I first heard the news about the death of Princess Diana. My mother told me about it late one evening in late August, 1997 (I had just started my senior year in high school). I was completely shocked and in total disbelief over the news. Diana was not only the Princess of Wales, but I feel that she was the Princess of everyone, internationally. Nobody will ever forget hearing the news of her passing. She lived to be 36 years old, and left us way too soon, as the result of a car crash in Paris, France. The tragedy became another one of the most bizarre occurrences to take place in the crazy 90s. The funeral was even poignant, as I got to watch and tape it from a couple of networks (as it was on most of the channels). you get excellent music, brilliant readings, and Elton John singing his memorable hit, Candle in the Wind. He had recorded it back in the early 70s as a tribute to Marilyn Monroe, remade it in the late 80s during one of his tours, and in 1997, for Diana (for this version, the lyrics were changed so that they would focus on Diana, and not Marilyn Monroe, of course). I bought this CD when it came out, and is great to listen to. i have not heard it for a while, but it is nice and peaceful. The booklet even conatins the program of the service, and the times that each song and reading happen. When listening to this CD, you almost feel as if you were there in person, paying homage to a magnificent woman who touched everyone's lives around the world. Now, she lives in Heaven with God, and is watching over everyone. God bless you and your family, Diana! Your memory lives on!!!
