TO BE AN ALTRUIST IN THIS ERA IS AMAZING ❤❤❤ THESE MEN WHERE SAINTS 😢

Vraiment splendide ! Merci. J'adore The Messiah d' Handel que j'ai eu la chance de voir en concert. Le compositeur est magique , le chanteur est juste parfait.

HANDEL'S MESSIAH BROUGHT ME SO MANY DAYS OF JOY AND SADNESS IN MY TEENAGE YEARS ❤ I AM SO LUCKY TO SEE HANDEL'S MESSIAH PERFORMANCE EVERY YEAR AT LINCOLN CENTER NEW YORK ❤

The music on the third verse: Did I not own Jehova's pow'r, comes from the deepest of the soul and Davies gives to it the most emotional purity and consistency we should expect. It's so sprtitual!

As a bit of (horrible) context, exposure / abandonment was the pre-modern form of birth control going back thousands of years. Just remember the tale of Oedipus. Or Moses.

I watched this wonderful documentary on its first airing on TV......I return to it often - particularly when I need to restore a sense of balance and purpose in my life❤

The complementary artistry of Davies and McCreesh and his orchestra is something of a revelation.A beacon for what is surely one of Handel's finest oratorios?

Великолепное пение и наглядная демонстрация того,насколько академический мужской голос мощнее и прекраснее женского!!

Как это ласкает слух...

Обалдеть!!!

This song is written for a man. Iestyn does it justice. Jakub Józef Orliński is pretty good too.

Discovered this song September 2022 and there are no words to describe its perfect composition and excellent delivery done here. Perfection personified ❤

Bravo. Handel and his Messiah pulled all the strands of these loose elements together finally---art, charity, the rich, the poor, adults, children---to be known and seen in real life and in the Bible---a wonderful cohesion and adhesion of MUSIC and WORDS for humanity.

Musically inspiring, historically focused, and concisely informative. Bravo all around!

Très beau !

THEY DID NOT ABANDON THEM #THEBEAST #THECATHOLICCHURCH STOLE THEM! THATS WHY IF YOU SAY YOUR PREGNANT UNDER 18 YOUR GRANDMOTHERS SAY SHHHHHH. IF THE PRIESTS HEAR OR LEARN OF IT, THEY WILL COME FOR YOU!!

wow amazing

Ah, at last I have found the programme. I recall seeing it when first broadcast.

I adore this man and his use of his voice! Thank you for uploading this!

What a beautiful discover! Many compliments!

Malachi 3 2. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: 2. וּמִ֤י מְכַלְכֵּל֙ אֶת־ י֣וֹם בּוֹא֔וֹ וּמִ֥י הָעֹמֵ֖ד בְּהֵרָֽאוֹת֑וֹ כִּֽי־ הוּא֙ כְּאֵ֣שׁ מְצָרֵ֔ף וּכְבֹרִ֖ית מְכַבְּסִֽים׃ 2. 그의 임하는 날을 누가 능히 당하며 그의 나타나는 때에 누가 능히 서리요 그는 금을 연단하는 자의 불과 표백하는 자의 잿물과 같을것이라

Isaiah 53 3. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 3. נִבְזֶה֙ וַחֲדַ֣ל אִישִׁ֔ים אִ֥ישׁ מַכְאֹב֖וֹת וִיד֣וּעַ חֹ֑לִי וּכְמַסְתֵּ֤ר פָּנִים֙ מִמֶּ֔נּוּ נִבְזֶ֖ה וְלֹ֥א חֲשַׁבְנֻֽהוּ׃ 3. 그는 멸시를 받아서 사람에게 싫어 버린바 되었으며 간고를 많이 겪었으며 질고를 아는 자라 마치 사람들에게 얼굴을 가리우고 보지 않음을 받는 자 같아서 멸시를 당하였고 우리도 그를 귀히 여기지 아니하였도다

Bliss..... And what a combination.... Beautiful singing of a tremendous composition

Sublime!

Of course, Venice and the other Italian States had been operating fabulously successful, happy and productive State funded orphanges for centuries before the Foundling Hospital. These would have been well known to any of the nobles who subscribed to the London Foundling Hospital ptoject because they would have visited these Italian "Ospedali" on their "Grand Tours" and heard superb music performed by the young girls who lived in them. What's incredible is how long it took for England to establish their own version of the same sort of institution.

Fabulous.Thank you so much.

Ah-Handel - Hogarth - Thanks to corum--I grew up on Handel And Rachmaninoff, Bye for now love Alan 👨‍🏫️

Wow Handel, Kidnes to Children, Wow my-Friend, Bye for now love Alan

MY BROTHER JOHN SAID TOMASH CORAN FOUND THE ANSWER HANDEL - Bye for now love Alan - Happy New year

Very good!! I like this version!! 🌹🌹

Great and Most beautifully!!!

A wonderful and inspiring presentation! It gave me new insight to what the words and music meant to those present in that place: Comfort Ye My People, The People That Walked in Darkness, Unto Us a Child Is Born!

Just great, people can sing like that!

Oh! What a beautiful ,lovely music,reminding me about 1986 choir festival

Iestyn makes it sound effortless.

Handel died at his home in Brook Street, London, on May 24, 1759, just after attending a performance of "Messiah." He was 74 years old. He was buried, with full state honors, at Westminster Abbey in London, with over 3,000 mourners in attendance.

Это самое лучшее исполнение!! The best!!

Splendide !!! C'est juste sublime !!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

This oratorio is a showpiece for countertenors

So many wonderful countertenor arias in this oratorio thank god not being sung by a soprano - which is no substitute

This succeeds as well as it does - because it is being sung by counter-tenor - not a soprano - which would weaken it considerably.

The total flexibility of this man’s voice is amazing as well as the sheer purity of it.

If this isn't the definition of perfect, I don't know what is. Well done Iestyn... I aways enjoy a soloist who can make his point known without so much volume. Amazing job.

A sad footnote: Thomas Coram died less than a year after this historic performance, on March 29, 1751, at the ripe old age of 83. Nevertheless, despite the controversy which had resulted in his removal from its Board of Governors, Coram lived long enough to see his visionary charity become successful beyond his fondest hopes. Today, Coram Charity, as it is now known, is the oldest and largest organization of its kind in all of Great Britain.

I did not realise I was smiling until the end of the song. Amazing...

Beautiful indeed but isn’t it a bass aria?
