Comfort ye...Every valley (Kurt Streit - English Concert) (Handel The Messiah)

[@williamgable7554]

Listening to THE MESSIAH in concert is a holiday tradition that I hope never fades.

[@johnmccool456]

Wow! Who knew Woody Harrelson was a lyric tenor! Fantastique!

[@ezrajustus7197]

Best I’ve seen so far

[@cowboytim9882]

This dude blows the roof off!

[@michaelblyth431]

Draws you straight into the narrative. A great communicator of the text as well as being in complete control of his voice. Truly impressive.

[@eraldoribeiro2945]

Maravilhoso tenor.

[@gianlucamarcialis3595]

Kurt Streit is always marvellous. If some criticisms would be made, maybe it would be about the "monumental" approach he decided to follow this time in the arioso, while he is much softer and lighter in the aria.

[@flflam]

I always come back to this version. Incredible soloist.

[@JamesHodgson]

I heard him in Cosi and as Belmonte. He is one of the best and most thrilling tenors I have ever heard. His Belmonte was just fabulous. The best Mozart tenor I have ever heard.

[@tonadachi]

I am a long time Messiah lover. I am never impressed by technically correct but dispassionate performances. This. Was. Marvelous.

[@AstriaICOW]

I honestly haven't yet heard a pure lyrical tenor better than this guy

[@carlzbad13]

That's my uncle!

[@gesaporiti]

+carlzbad13 Say him i`m searching this video of messiah complete. may be he can upload! Regards.

[@egparis18]

+carlzbad13 Please tell him he's got a new fan.

[@egparis18]

+gesaporiti I keep coming back to listen again. Thank you for the upload.

[@wsjohnston3956]

Amen!!!

[@MrBluedanube]

that is so cool, the conductor is playing the harpsichord and playing at the same time...

[@coreygalloway9914]

Indeed!

[@mariekevanzadelhoff6371]

Absolutely splendid! And I love that you can see in the facial expressions of the soloist that he is bringing good news. And although originally directed toward Jerusalem, I find comfort myself in a gracious God, Who is willing to pardon my iniquity and Who even makes the crooked in my life straight, and the rough places plain, for Him to walk gloriously in my life.

[@fimetic]

Well said!

[@DaveyCrockett001]

+Marieke van Zadelhoff Amen

[@John-kd4ef]

God bless you Marieke for praising our wonderful God. His grace and mercy are beyond our understanding.

[@Prophet-Yosef]

Sounds phenomenal. 🙌🏾

[@jacob19620203]

What tonal quality and power. He is able sing with flourish. Dynamics are superb. Especially when he sings rough places plain the second time 4.17 to 4.24. Sounds as though the rough places are plained and smoothened vocally. Brilliant!!! Praise God for his talent.

[@Tazza17]

Great comment although the 'Invisible man in the Sky' doesn't exist.

[@briancasey14]

I appreciate Jacob's musical notices here -- highly appropriate to call attention to those. "Invisible man in the Sky" is a needlessly pejorative description of the object of historical faith of millions (Jews, Christians, others). This comment also manifests stark hubris, which I suppose is fine if you're intent on a posture of a-theism. Agnosticism is an intellectually superior posture, and I'd say there's at least some agnosticism in most of us -- even believers like me.

Best Comfort ye I have ever heard.

[@sharonstanley5054]

Speak ye comfortably to my People, that her warfare is accomplished and her iniquity is forgiven! Peace on earth to men of good will! Thus saith your God.

[@antonellacarletto1110]

Che bravo!!!!

[@John-kd4ef]

While I enjoy hearing Handel's Messiah year after year, I gain even greater inspiration from reading the text from which the libretto is derived, namely, the Holy Bible. In this passage, for example, read Isaiah Chapter 40 from verse 1 and beyond to see where Handel was inspired by our great creator God to sing praises to His glorious name. Our messiah, indeed, is none other than Jesus Christ Himself!

[@waldtraudblume3890]

Sehr schön, danke...👍👏🌻❤️

[@johnwallman6647]

What an outstanding renewal of an old war horse. Well sung and the singer enjoyed it, too Kudos!

[@나는조아]

I'm surprised every time I see it. I've never seen anyone sing this song so effortlessly. His lung capacity is incredible.

[@BazzasBest]

Secure, powerful and convincing. Fine accompaniment too.

[@maldi_tof2910]

I both love it and hate it when I hear a piece I love so much performed so well that all other recordings of it seem to be lacking something. What an amazing performance.

[@cwwong6903]

Beautiful voice and excellent interpretation. I have watched quite many different versions of the piece, obviously this is the best 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Isaiah 40:1 - 4 1. Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. 1. נַחֲמ֥וּ נַחֲמ֖וּ עַמִּ֑י יֹאמַ֖ר אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃ 1. 너희 하나님이 가라사대 너희는 위로하라 내 백성을 위로하라 2. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins. 2. דַּבְּר֞וּ עַל־ לֵ֤ב יְרֽוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ וְקִרְא֣וּ אֵלֶ֔יהָ כִּ֤י מָֽלְאָה֙ צְבָאָ֔הּ כִּ֥י נִרְצָ֖ה עֲוֹנָ֑הּ כִּ֤י לָקְחָה֙ מִיַּ֣ד יְהוָ֔ה כִּפְלַ֖יִם בְּכָל־ חַטֹּאתֶֽיהָ׃ ס 2. 너희는 정다이 예루살렘에 말하며 그것에게 외쳐 고하라 그 복역의 때가 끝났고 그 죄악의 사함을 입었느니라 그 모든 죄를 인하여 여호와의 손에서 배나 받았느니라 할찌니라 3. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 3. ק֣וֹל קוֹרֵ֔א בַּמִּדְבָּ֕ר פַּנּ֖וּ דֶּ֣רֶךְ יְהוָ֑ה יַשְּׁרוּ֙ בָּעֲרָבָ֔ה מְסִלָּ֖ה לֵאלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ 3. 외치는 자의 소리여 가로되 너희는 광야에서 여호와의 길을 예비하라 사막에서 우리 하나님의 대로를 평탄케 하라 4. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 4. כָּל־ גֶּיא֙ יִנָּשֵׂ֔א וְכָל־ הַ֥ר וְגִבְעָ֖ה יִשְׁפָּ֑לוּ וְהָיָ֤ה הֶֽעָקֹב֙ לְמִישׁ֔וֹר וְהָרְכָסִ֖ים לְבִקְעָֽה׃ 4. 골짜기마다 돋우어지며 산마다, 작은 산마다 낮아지며 고르지 않은 곳이 평탄케 되며 험한 곳이 평지가 될 것이요 To God Alone Be All The Glory. Hallelujah. Oh Come LORD Jesus. AMEN.

[@charlesdavis7087]

Sing it baby! And as far as I'm concerned go ahead and throw in as many of those extra trills and embellishments as you want. You own it. CVD

[@lauraschutze8363]

He does a heavenly job of all those extra notes.

[@piustwelfth]

There is a cut in the middle of this.

[@orion8835]

Big man and great body, teeny tiny voice though even though it carried. It was pretty in a Bach cantata Germanic pale way.

[@ascendien]

trozo musical magnifico, independiente de quien la interprete

[@davidlucey543]

I enjoyed the performance but I'm a bit puzzled as to why singers take so many liberties with baroque music like Messiah. To my knowledge opera singers don't take that kind of license with Verdi, at least not to the same degree.

[@mcknighty11]

You can get away with a lot of ornamentation in Handel, as it was the style of the time. You cannot do so with Verdi.

[@John-kd4ef]

To embellish Handel in this way is to heap praises upon our glorious creator God who gave the composer his inspiration to create this masterful work of art. When praising God, there can never be enough liberty taken in an effort to declare how great He is and how we depend on Him for our very existence. God inhabits the praises of His people and we can never praise him too much. Glory to His wonderful name!
