An absolutely wonderful rendition. A marvelous voice, he not only sang it beautifully, he captured the joyful anticipation of the promise the text describes.

Handel would be proud of this performance! This was God sent!

I have been singing in Messiah performances for 30 plus years. This is, undoubtedly , the best interpretation of this selection that I have ever heard. Stunning voice and feeling... Beautiful...!!! The trumpet solo is also marvelous! Well done, gentlemen,!!

Mr. Burton's rendition is by far the best I have ever heard. The power of his voice is simply stupendous. I feel blessed to have heard this. Bob Schober

Every note hit dead center. Every word crisply enunciated. Every trumpet passage played with truth and authority. One can hear the Second Coming in the wings. Bravo!!

Mr Burton has the true bass voice . His performance is beautiful .

That valveless baroque trumpet it's *insanely difficult* to play ... kudos to the interpreter 💙

With Dashon Burton's bass and stage presence and John Theissen's baroque trumpet, not piccolo trumpet, this is the best rendition I've heard. This is the only rendition I have seen or heard with baroque trumpet. For this piece, baroque trumpet, the instrument originally intended for this arrangement, blends so much better than piccolo trumpet. Bravo!

He enunciates the words, adheres to the musical dynamics perfectly, breath control too is amazing, and the accompaniment is as pompous as it should be. A powerful performance indeed.

I have listened to this piece many times by many artists, but I have NEVER heard it done this well! Wonderful control and expression!

This may be my favorite rendition of this piece. I've watched this video at least a dozen times. His voice is so clear, and the orchestra sounds so pure.

Gorgeous stunning performance, both trumpet, orchestra and Dashon Burton! Incredible voice.

What an amazing performance. Glad this was recorded, as its one for the ages. I like how the rest of the talent are just looking at him like "Wow!"

When Dashon Burton finished his performance, I picked up the white wig on the floor and gave it back to G.F. Handel and said: Maestro, here is your wig. It fell off your head during Mr. Burton's first vibrato. Sehr gut~! Bravissimo~!

This is a perfect rendition. It is flawless, the consonants are well articulated. His Mastery of the solo piece is awesome.

What a voice! Clear, powerful, beautifully modulated. Extraordinary.

He has an effortlessly massive voice. I love this recording.

I am so charmed by the moment around 7:30, when the camera shows a few choir members, listening with as much mesmerised pleasure as the rest of us. What an incredibile voice.

This is the best interpretation of this great music! Dashon Burton is magnificent!

Dashaun Burton is a source of blessings to me. I watched that video over 350times in 2020

It's like he's testifying with his voice, not worrying about phrasing. This is my favorite performance of my favorite Messiah number.

Fabulous singer he has a wonderful voice.💖

I found this to be a spine chilling performance- magnificent and glorious.

This was an effortless performance. I love his voice& the melismas flow nicely.

Absolutely superb. Mr Burton stirs me to the depths of my soul each time I hear him.

Such a treat-A magnificent soloist-perfect for that piece!

This is by far the very best performance I have ever heard. Praise the Lord for your powerful voice. Looking forward to hearing the Trumpet and meeting my Lord and Saviour. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

I have been in the chorus singing with this man, Messiah at Carnegie Hall, Verdi Requiem at Mechanic's Hall, and went to see him perform in Princeton as Elijah. He is as kind as he is talented.I am part of his fan club!

One of, if not the, finest bass I have heard for many years!

This has been a sad season for many. THANK YOU, dear Dashon Burton and musicians, for sharing this GOSPEL truth about what awaits those who trust in Jesus Christ as savior.

The best version I have heard so far.

How about the trumpet player? He's playing a valve less natural trumpet, common at the time of Handel, but very difficult to play. Outstanding job!!

What an outstanding singer! This is one of the very best performances that I have ever heard.

Mr. Burton, thank you for all your years of effort, sacrifice, and training so that such glory might be voiced into Creation.

What a fabulous performance Dashon! Great orchestra as well!

Mr Burton and Mr Theissen absolutely blew me away. The best I ever heard.

This is the most glorious rendition of this piece that I have ever heard!

Dashon Burton is my old college roommate, and still one of my best friends. I feel so fortunate to know such a talented man!

Why does this not have more views? Why have I not heard of Dashon Burton before?!!! Let me say this man's name again: DASHON BURTON!!! Google him. I did! Thank goodness he's still performing. My God, this man gives a MASTER CLASS on how this piece should be sung! Technically flawless, artistic perfection, effortless and glorious tone. And the all too rare quality among singers who know they're this good: restraint! What else is there to ask for? I used to think the late, great Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau owned this piece like no one else could. I now stand corrected. Bravissimo, Mr. Burton. I could not be more effusive. But it is all well deserved. One of the very few contemporary singers who's name can be said in the same sentence with the extraordinary Eric Owens. Since he didn't post this, I know he'll never read it. But he has a new fan. I will find more of him work and certainly hope to hear him live one day. Bravo!

I loved the trumpeter and the singer... Wonderful. What a beautiful voice, powerful, clear and good to hear... the ensemble is divine and the Chamber orchestra is very excellent... Congratulations to everyone involved!!! (Maestro Heraldo Filho - Choirs - Vitória ES - Brazil)

I like to sing this in my truck on my commute home. Wish I had a voice like his.

what an amazing voice!!!

Perfection - clear diction and effortless singing!

Wow, what a voice!!!

...his command of breath..diction...line..just masterful!!

What a magnificent voice and - may I say it - a magnificent specimen of humankind!

Wow, Mr Burton you are strong, thank you!! Be blessed

Mr. Burton has the clearest and most powerful bass voice that i have ever heard. for me no other bass singer comes close.

This young man has a special voice. Free, easy, articulate, but most of all beautiful! It’s sad to see some chorus members haven’t accepted him! Learn to embrace what this man has given to us!

This is truly the most awesome version of "The trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised" I am stunned, well done Mr. Burton, God bless you forever. What an incredible talent.

This should have more views. Such splendid performance unto God! No other rendition I've listened to come close to this musician/vocalist.

Did anyone see the heaven opened up and the Lord was on His feet giving a standing ovation? For the first time I am in tears hearing this aria by this young man. I was almost mistaken by myself hearing Jerome Hines. I pray that you will honor God all your life through your God given talent.

By far the most joyous rendition of this aria I have ever heard/seen. Wonderful.

MAGIC AND EMOTIONAL 😭 !!!

Gorgeous voice- easily my favorite bass. Truly mesmerising

Fabulous voice with both depth and clarity. Every word is articulated effortlessly. This is a 10/10 performance.

The depth in Dashon Burton’s voice is exceptional! By far the best rendition I have ever heard, wonderful and with such meaning. Handel would have been proud to have listened to this.

Ce garçon a la voix d'un ROI C'est un miracle de Dieu. Nous Lui rendons grace.

Would love to hear him sing "why do the nation's". Very clear articulation and diction.

Amazing preformance. Wow, what a voice!

Glorious testimony with a sweet sacrificial voice

"The trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality." I Corinthians 15:52... KJV, Holy Bible.

What a voice, and, more importantly, what an artist.

Puissance et musicalité, profondeur de sentiment. Chanté avec une belle conviction. Haendel aurait apprécié.

Handel is proud of this perfomance. Ooh my God,man,you sang well,very well. Uliwashangaza wanakwaya wenzako. Mziki mtamu.

This a magnificent performance. I can't say how many times I've heard this piece but this is the best.

WHAT A VOICE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DASHON BURTON !

Masterful performances by all. Dashton has a superb voice with the best diction I have ever heard from a bass.

Magnifique chanteur, l'accompagnement est formidable. BRAVO.

What an amazing rendition, and we hold on tightly to our faith, waiting on the Lords coming - AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED!

What an amazing voice?

KZfaq does not have love button....I would have pressed that. Great work, sir. I could see the whole orchestra enjoying the piece.

Seemingly effortless, both the guy on the natural trumpet as well as Dashon, pure craftmenship 👌

He sings this so effortlessly and fluidly that it's as if he's speaking it.

You do this great music justice sir..I applaud you.

ACTUAL GOOSEBUMPS!!! Awesome. Thank you so much!!!!! We shall be changed, thank God!

Wow! I've listened to many basses sing this, but this guy surpasses them all. Keep singing! The world needs your voice.

An incredible vocalist. He has great power and range.

Wow, what a snowy winter treat in the Wilds of Wyoming. Thank You!🙋🏼‍♀️🏔💞❄️

.....who sent me this wonderful rendition of the Trumpet song from Handel's Messiah, on Easter Saturday. Truly a gift from God, God Blessed!

Ooo my God.. I'm having goose pimples... The trumpet shall sound and We shall be raised incorruptible... HALLELUYAH 👐👐👐👐

Burton's voice is smooth and powerful with good vibrato without excessive ornamentation, a hard thing to do in Baroque oratorios. This Aria is just right for him.

How beautiful! My 💓is so full! Happy Resurrection Day! Thank you KZfaq for sending this!

Mr Burton's performance was an amalgamation of powerful voice and internal conviction. It seemed his weakness was clear to him and contagiously convincing his audience that we all will be changed.

--Lovely voice of this singer, the playing of the musicians, the music of Handel, and a Great Message !

I'm sorry but I just watched most of the major interpretations of this from the 80's even of the foremost operatic Bass/Baritones and I'm here to let you know that this is the very top. The inflections, the joy, the worship...this is beyond.

Magnificent voice I can imagine heaven listening what a gift he has!

I've just come across this. The passion, depth and quality is unbelievable. He live the part to a core depth. He is truly blessed with his quality. Simply one of the best performances.

that's the first time this aria has brought tears for me in decades. Just. Wow.

A masterful piece of singing. Beautiful and touching. What a gift to us all! Great phrasing and Lyricism in this extraordinary bass voice.

Thank you, MusicShorg, even the living as we are shall be r a i s e d. ILLUSTRIOUS, indeed.

His voice is a strong prayer..Amen..

Your voice is the trumpet! I wonder how it will be in heaven. Enjoyed all the lines and was eagerly waiting for the audience applause or reaction but unfortunately it was cut off. 감삽니다!

The trumpet shall sound indeed.

He gave me homework. He is the best for me so far. I am blessed to listen to him.

Chillllsss. Sung with all the conviction and giftedness that comes from God alone. Wonderful technique too.

He sets a standard for staid assurance and beauty-laden power not often seen in Basses. Love the rolled r's! I know some think it affect, but it adds a Baroque-italianate authority to the words; he chooses what r to roll, for effect. Love this singer! Just growing into his greatness.

Why am I just now learning about this incredible talent!!! He's magnificent!

best performance of this piece I've heard.

The Greatest gift to music Messiah! Georg Fredrich Handel's MASTERPIECE! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
