When Beethoven was asked who was the greatest of composers, Beethoven replied, "Handel--to him I bow the knee".

I just love me some master handheld!❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is a close second favorite setting of this text to the Victoria version.

Amazing chorus! Händel was the best vocal and choral composer of all history

I've been coming back here again and again for many years because it's just so great.

This is perfection. As good as Tudor music gets. Thank you William Byrd and your master, God

Padmore was Samson in the BBC proms, so hearing him sing "to song and dance" here really feels odd. Great rendition though

Tallis brings you into the porch of heaven..

Sono totalmente incantato 😍ma si potrebbe caricare direttamente dal secondo minuto?

beautiful piece of music

Many thanks - this is as perfect as everything the Tallis Scholars do. Much more satisfyingly melancholy to my ears than the text can possibly intend. But what do I know. Just that it makes me everlastingly grateful to have come across it.

Most of my life I've been singing in choirs. I've always been concentrating on the musical aspects. Looking back, I realise that I wasn't thinking much about God or Christ or worship or anything spiritual. I need to change all that and make prayer more meaningful.

Sadly we lost her early to Opera when she decided to return to her early vocation;the law. But she leaves a legacy such as this; outstanding.

Here is Calisto, a follower of the godess Diana, shortly after she has been seduced by Jove disguised as Diana.

Beautiful!!! Bravi!!!

Exquisitely comforting, sensitively sung. Tudor church music at its finest.

Absolutely beautiful ❤️

Sublime

Esther is the first composed English oratorio. Is this chorus the longest Handel ever wrote?

Beautiful, and great performance. Unfortunately, the video background looks like the AutoZone parking lot after a rain.

Lovely. Thank you all involved. I sang Cantoris most of my time as a treble, and it's nice to hear the whole thing instead of just the treble line you know!

This is MAGIC!!! I never imagined I will be so moved by this oratorio, Handel did such an awesome job with this work, absolutely Marvelous!!!

Too much in the nose…. What a shame, he sounds like Topi Lehtipuu when he does actually sing well.

Tacerò, purchè fedele nel tuo sen conservi amor. Soffrirò, benchè crudele contro me sia tuo rigor.

Salut. S'il vous plaît aider. Je cherche un beau jeu où joue de la musique baroque. Dirigé par William Christie. Il y avait une grande toile avec des animaux, des arbres et des jardins. Décoration. sur la scène devant l'écran, les danseurs ont dansé une danse moderne sur de la musique baroque. Une très belle prestation. Vous ne savez pas de quel jeu il s'agissait ? Je l'ai vu en Tchécoslovaquie à la télévision vers 2000. Merci beaucoup. Joseph

Sono sconvolto..Voler rappresentare Didone, la bellissima regina, paragonata ad Artemide (Diana), bionda, alta, in questo modo è la riprova dei disastri che addirittura nell'arte l'ottundente politically correct sta provocando. È ora di finirla

I used to live in Worcester in the noughties and regularly attended the Cathedral and heard the choir under Adrian Lucas and it was fabulous. Sadly with modern PC attitudes the uniqueness of the boy treble is under threat from transferring to mixed top line. I fear boys voices in Cathedrals will be very rare in 10-15 years. Boys came forward as they were told the truth that they had a unique gift. Girls will be easier to attract and boys without that “brotherhood” atmosphere will die off.

One of my favorite pieces by Handel. Bravo 👏👏👏

BRAVO, PATRICIA!!!!!

The group singing this did not seem like they were in the same ensemble.🎵

"and the torment of death will not touch them". Christ has utterly defeated death by His perfect sacrifice on the cross.

Amazing performance

Beautiful! Here is a videoscore of Willaert's Pater Noster if you wish to follow the music: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWGwdqyOj5yJhJI

Quel plaisir d'écouter la voix pure et cristalline de Maria Bayo ! Un vrai régal...!

Monumental chorus written for 5 voices. How innovative to include 2 tenor voices ... and the use of the trumpet is masterful. Great!!!
