Georg Friedrich Händel - Messiah, HWV 56 (part 1) (WarsawPhilh Orchestra and Choir, Haselböck)

[@malindsell]

Astonishing! The best performance I have ever heard in my 66 years! Lead me to worship Christ my God and Redeemer! Thank you for such a wonderful, sublime rendition!

[@petit-christ]

I have already listened to this masterpiece dozens of times, in several quality performances. But for the first time, the text touched me like an arrow in the heart.

[@joewright9879]

Yes!

[@quaver1239]

Impressive. One of the greatest performances I’ve heard. Their English is precisely articulated and absolutely clear. Conductor excellent. As for Orlinski - WOW!!!

[@reeveswesleyj]

Performance is excellent. I was so amazed to hear such an excellent performance from a choir in a country which was under communist rule till 30 years ago. God bless all those who were part of this. I wish and pray that the legacy left behind by this choir will continue for generations together till Christ comes.

[@rogermaes6001]

Beautiful version on modern instruments (but then the presence of the countertenor J.J. Orlinski is difficult to explain, except that he is Polish and a stunning singer), with a superb choir. Orlinski gave us a wonderful "He was despised", a very, often a little "tunnel" aria when interpreted without conviction, but varied here with finesse and feeling, in a moving and very artistic way. A great moment of this concert But the whole is literally illuminated by the incomparable timbre of Sunhae Im, beautiful, supple, stable, so simple and radiant in the same time. Thank you very much to the Warshaw Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir, and to the solists. A great moment. I won't miss the part II. Long live Poland ! From Belgium

Immaculate Performance. Great is Handel. And of course Great is our lord Jesus Christ!

[@lindapoulson2130]

A wonderful performance all round. Watched it to see JJO but all the soloists were very good. JJO the star of course 😄❤️

[@operaoaf]

Just a great rendition. The text is pronounced so clearly. Kudos to the performers. And the tempo is perfect. Handel would be proud.

[@afn4952]

Beautifully and sensitively interpreted by the baritone.

[@Cor6196]

The most stunning thing for me is the perfection of the members of the chorus, not only musically but also in their enunciation of the text. Kudos to them and to their director and to whoever taught them how to pronounce the text as clearly and correctly as any chorus in an English-speaking country. Unbelievable!

[@redbrian3655]

I echo your sentiments exactly.

[@lindapoulson2130]

Agreed. Choir were wonderful and a joy to watch a d hear. Such clarity and for them a foreign languages. Many congratulations.

[@henkbouwman8276]

Absolutely top! And Orlinski, ohlala 👌👌👌

[@livesteam]

Wonderful performance, great orchestra, conducted masterly !! The singers of the choir just wonderful ... the soloists were outstanding. Jakub Józef Orlinski was absolutely marvellous ... a great voice, he should go very, very far I predict. I think we willhear much, much more of him in the future ... He has got everything for him, his good looks and above all that beautiful "counter-tenor" voice, which he master so well. I am in love with him, so to speak. Bravo

[@thedetectivetrader]

Great performance with stunning singers, amazing musicians and a magnificent chorus. Handel was a genius. This masterpiece is unique.

[@dynamicallyuniversal3735]

One of the greatest pieces of music ever written! One of the greatest performances ever, shared! Thank You so much Filharmonia Narodowa!

[@mariethiery4913]

Remarquable, brillant. Solistes parfaits, mention spéciale pour le contre ténor à la musicalité exceptionnelle, la diction parfaite et la technique renversante.

[@mjk5807]

To takie poruszające, bo wykonane w niezwykłej harmonii przez artystów z różnych krajów: Polaków, Austriaka, Koreankę, Anglika i Hiszpana. Razem możemy lepiej!

[@karolw.5208]

Perfection, coming from my old country where Handel was never a household name! On top of all the praise I shall add kudos for the cameramen/women. Of course, the soprano and countertenor are gorgeous.

[@tjittekamminga5170]

wow, love the countertenor!

[@19gregske55]

Messiah is always fresh! This performance is uncommonly good. JJO almost eclipses the other soloists.

[@barbaragawe170]

Fantastic performance! Thank you and God bless in Jesus’ name (Numbers 6:24-26).

[@redbrian3655]

I loved every minute... but I must give a shout-out to the harpsichordist and bassoonist! "And with his stripes" displayed sublime, dynamic and expressive choral singing. All soloists were admirable, but I must say that Orlinski's singing was inspired, confident and incredibly expressive (and the red socks were great!). I loved the organist's flair in "All we like sheep", and Orlinski's head-bobbing (tenors need to keep up!)

[@lacorchea955]

Absolutely amaziiiiiiing

[@HerbertCHIMUKA]

Wonderful singing and performance, I just love this... It's taking my heart, am watching again and again... I love Classic music... So sweet God bless the Choir, and the 4 performers.. Passionate singing... Handel is the best, putting scriptures in songs...

[@mariovalencia7167]

[@veve3948]

to bylo naprawde piekne ! J'ai adoré écouter cette première partie de bon matin , Haha!! Merci de nous avoir offert ce concert magnifique. J'ai particulièrement aimé l'aria "he was despised and rejected" chanté par le très très très grand Jakub Josef Orlinski.. All was perfect, the musicians, the choir and the soilists. Merci beaucoup. J'écouterai la deuxième partie plus tard.. 😘

[@mysticmouse7261]

The counter tenor is the showpiece of this performance. Jakub Orlinski is a star in his own right. I dislike productions where counter tenor arias are given to altos.

[@kateh4030]

I have seen and heard many many performances of Messiah and this is the first I have heard in which a counter tenor performs the parts normally sung by an alto. Orlinski is indeed sublime.

[@mysticmouse7261]

@@kateh4030 alto soloists are the exception rather than the rule in Baroque music. It's just hard to find a good countertenor. 'Who may abide" is often given to countertenors

[@scottevans2685]

@@kateh4030 The parts sung today by altos were sung by countertenors in Handel's time. In fact, "But Who May Abide The Day Of His Coming?" and "He Was Despised And Rejected" were written specifically as countertenor solos. Unfortunately, the countertenor is a much rarer voice nowadays.

[@martawojas8246]

Zawsze byłam wielką fanką „Mesjasza” pod batutą Pinnocka, ale muszę przyznać szczerze - to wykonanie jest przewspaniałe! JJO jest moim muzycznym objawieniem, ma anielski głos. I nie oszukujmy się - chór i orkiestra w niczym mu tu nie ustępują, chociaż dyrygent prowadzi oratorium inaczej, niż przywykłam. Wspaniałe, poruszające wykonanie!

Mesjasz wiecznie żywy!Super!

[@bobpetras]

We often overlook the fact that The Messiah is really the work of the one that wrote it, the Patron of the Arts from Gopsall Hall in Leicestershire, Charles Jennens. Without his genius, we would have nothing. Handel received the scripture collection at the age of 57. He was in ill health and debt burdened and if luck would have it, an invitation from the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to do some concerts in Dublin. He must have had a remarkable inspiration to pen a score in 24 days. So off Handel went and the first published edition and performance was April 13, 1742. Jennens plans for this work were vastly different. It may well have eroded their friendship but in the end, Handel came out the winner as the reviews and attendance all testified to this. It remains a remarkable work over 275 years later.

[@blackandwhiterag1117]

It needs to be said that this work is not The Messiah. It is simply Messiah. The definite article is used in the German translation when it becomes Der Messias.

amazing and very moving

[@peterszigeti7476]

Vivaldi (from 27' )- Autumn, winter - melancholy and later springtime and summer. Joyful music, sometimes you are forced to jump up and to dance (minuete and round dance), sometimes you would like to cry, all of these are an introduction to the "Hallelujah", which is one of the most splendid hymn of Art. Some parts would like to sway us (remember Bach and Gluck' Euridice). These emotions are really extremely hard task to interpret, but the chore, the orchestra and the soloists fulfil perfectly. Excellent parts especially when a soloist has a conversation with the orchestra (He was despised and spat /spitted/... kb. 1,02'), not to mention the canons and fugues. This is a piece of the self-conscious people, who could be believers or non-believers. Congratulation again.
