8. Behold, a virgin... + 9. O thou that tellest... Messiah, G. F. Handel. AD LIBITUM. Francesc Gamon

[@JenniferBrisk]

I am addicted to this woman’s tone, I have listened to her Messiah solos endlessly this week!

[@JenniferBrisk]

Gorgeous voice! One of my favourite singing this...so rich and she is a beautiful performer, giving so much expression and energy!

[@downsman1]

This is a very pleasing performance by a talented lady with a wonderfully rich voice. I really have no idea why the Spanish are so fond of Handel's music, but no matter. It just goes to show what excellent taste they have!

[@janiceekarr]

She makes it look effortless. Beautiful.

Wonderful performance 🔥

Love it!

Incredible voice😍

[@cat_or_pillar]

What a great, powerful performance! It's true, as another commenter observes, that the Spanish accents are quite pronounced, especially on the words "the" ("th" and schwa, both hard!) and "Judah," but the diction is so careful and the performance so moving that the accents feel more like a dash of character than a shortcoming. I do think it's interesting that some of the Rs, like in "Arise," are so distinctly conversational English when the Latinate rolled one is pretty standard even in performances by English speakers.

Very many thanks to "fapaulos" for correcting my identification error in the posted comment that I made on 23 November 2009. Yes, she is Cristina Faus; and, she is in possession of a truly magnificent talent. Thanks again. Michael Robert McGarrett Port Tobacco, Maryland USA 2 April 2010

O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high mountain. O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength: lift it up, be not afraid: say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! Isaiah 40:9 10. Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. Isaiah 60:1

[@mmcgarrett48]

Thanks also to "2471abc" who (along with "fapaulos") corrected my error with regard to the video by advising to me that the soprano was Cristina Faus. I am very grateful to both responders for their accurate information. Thanks once again. Michael Robert McGarrett Port Tobacco, Maryland USA 5 April 2010

Es espanola la cantante?

Matthew 1 23. Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 23. Ἰδοὺ ἡ παρθένος ἐν γαστρὶ ἕξει καὶ τέξεται υἱόν, καὶ καλέσουσιν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἐμμανουήλ· ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον Μεθ’ ἡμῶν ὁ θεός. 23. 보라 처녀가 잉태하여 아들을 낳을 것이요 그 이름은 임마누엘이라 하리라 하셨으니 이를 번역한즉 하나님이 우리와 함께 계시다 함이라 Isaiah 40 9. O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! 9. עַ֣ל הַר־ גָּבֹ֤הַ עֲלִי־ לָךְ֙ מְבַשֶּׂ֣רֶת צִיּ֔וֹן הָרִ֤ימִי בַכֹּ֙חַ֙ קוֹלֵ֔ךְ מְבַשֶּׂ֖רֶת יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם הָרִ֙ימִי֙ אַל־ תִּירָ֔אִי אִמְרִי֙ לְעָרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה הִנֵּ֖ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃ 9. 아름다운 소식을 시온에 전하는 자여 너는 높은 산에 오르라 아름다운 소식을 예루살렘에 전하는 자여 너는 힘써 소리를 높이라 두려워 말고 소리를 높여 유다의 성읍들에 이르기를 너희 하나님을 보라 하라 To God Alone Be All The Glory. Hallelujah. Amen.

non és soprano, és contralto !

[@bebetonguga]

Muy linda la voz de la soprano, la orquesta es sencillamente fabulosa, lástima la pronunciación.

[@MrAmorCristiano]

Linda voz de la cantante, buena la orquestas pero lamentablemente la pronunciacion es tan mala que distrae y se pierde todo el encanto de esta hermosa aria. Debe hacerse asesorar por alguien que sepa ingles urgentemente. La "th" interdental es fundamental que la practique, asi como la vocal "o" en Lord, que en algunas frases le suena como Lard que significa manteca. Asi de grave es la cosa.
