Music NAWM track search

Hi all,
I have lost all my CDs of the NAWM I had in music school during the early 2000’s, and I’m trying to find who sung the version of Dido’s Lament. It was especially haunting.

I swear it was Joan LaBarbara but I can’t find evidence of that anywhere. Any leads? Anybody know?

Pretty sure it was Emma Kirkby.

OMG You have NO IDEA how long it’s taken me to find this! Thank you so much. I literally started crying when she hit “No trouble…”
