An exceptionally fine performance of this all too rarely performed oratorio in a beautifully rich and warm acoustic. The soloists were both outstanding, Gwilym Bowen articulating and breathing real excitement into his lovely warm tenor voice. Anna Dennis was exceptional as ever with extraordinary nuance in a voice of amazing clarity and bloom. The few duets were something else! The orchestra played with real panache reaching a level of baroque playing I've rarely heard before. But the chorus plays a significant part in this oratorio. Even by the very high standards of professional choirs specialising in baroque music, this was absolutely exceptional! The sheer beauty of their singing was matched by perfect rhythm, an infectious 'bounce' when needed and beautifully modulated dynamics. The clarity of their diction would have put an English-speaking choir to shame. I can't imagine anyone will ever equal let alone exceed this superb performance!

I recall one time when a Bryan G. Levman, of the University of Toronto, Centre for the Study of Religion, and Music student, also a visiting scholar there, called the music of Handel "Bub Gum" to my face, I mean really!

Oh I do love Mr. Handel! You can identify Handel even when he's plagiarizing someone else's tune. It's even tastier when you have a good historically informed band and capable singers as we have here. I could listen to these musicians perform Handel all day and into the night.

Avant d'accéder à cette vidéo, j'ai eu droit à deux magnifiques publicités, dont l'une m'a rappelé les publicités que diffusent les hypermarchés sur des petits téléviseurs et que personne me regardent : des sommets de bêtise. KZfaq fait bien de montrer ce qu'il est vraiment en rivalisant avec la plus bête des formes de promotion commerciale.

Such a beautiful performance...but someone has to tell the bass soloist that it is not an opera and that he is not the most important person in this work ...

@Chompchompyerded 7 ай бұрын

I thought the bass did just fine. It's important to remember that though this is oratorio, Handel was first a writer of opera, who was forced to write non-dramatic works due to a church prohibition on theatre music. Even during the prohibition he still wrote very theatrical works, and it would not have been unusual during that time to have seen the soloists do a touch of "acting". Musically and in terms of balance, the bass did not overwhelm. He was right on target.
