Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour Sings Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18. In 2001 or 2002, guitarist and singer David Gilmour of Pink Floyd recorded a musical interpretation of William Shakespeare’ s “Sonnet 18″ at his home studio aboard the historic, 90-foot houseboat the Astoria .
This video of Gilmour singing the sonnet was released as an extra on the 2002 DVD David Gilmour in Concert , but the song itself was apparently connected with When Love Speaks , a 2002 benefit album for London’s Royal Academy for the Dramatic Arts. The project was organized by the composer and conductor Michael Kamen , who died a little more than a year after the album was released. When Love Speaks features a mixture of dramatic and musical performances of Shakespeare’s Sonnets and other works, with artists ranging from John Gielgud to Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

So I got my hands on When Love Speaks this week.
For those that haven't heard, this CD is a collection of 5o+ readings and interpretations of Shakespeare, mostly the sonnets with some other passages thrown in, primarily from The Tempest. You've probably heard a recording of Alan Rickman (now most famous as Professor Snape) doing "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun.

As I'm sure I've mentioned a few million times I have Sonnet 18 ("Shall I compare thee") by David Gilmour, guitar god legend of Pink Floyd. It is my ring tone, it is the song I sing my children to sleep with, it...is....awesome. I don't know anything about Sonnet 29, or who this Rufus Wainright guy is, but dang, I like it. Official Site and Official Fan Club for Sting discography - studio_albums - STING: Inside The Songs Of Sacred Love. "I have always thought that the album was kind of the starting point and that something very different happens on stage than in the studio.
I want people to listen to the record, watch the DVD and recognize that some progress is being made and different choices are being made. " Inside the songs of 'Sacred Love' is the latest DVD to be released by Sting and as you might expect, is interesting for all kinds of reasons. It might be argued that being released shortly after the global release of the 'Sacred Love' album that it could be expected to follow the path of a previous Sting video/videoCD release that captured the recording of 1993's 'Ten Summoner's Tales' album (and which won a Grammy award for best long-form video). The similarity however, ends there. This is not a traditional 'concert' video. 'Never Coming Home' is mainly Mayan footage and a great take, especially when Sting trades acoustic guitar for his bass and he and Jason start jamming away.
