J'ai écouté cette musique dans mon enfance grâce à mes soeurs..et ma mère mais pas avec autant d'intensité que celle--ci dont l'interprétation est ABSOLUE !. Je suis chrétien et quand j'écoute cette musique j'ai vraiment le sentiment que le ciel est sur la terre... ou bien que la terre est montée vers le ciel. La richesse la diversité la quantité et l'expression de toutes ces notes voies et instruments : un concentré d'une densité EXTREME. Quel plaisir ont ils eu à jouer ce Dixit Dominus de Haendel dans cette magnifique église baroque: combien j'aurai aimé être là. BRAVO J E GARDINER ET LES SOLOISTS🙂

[@user-nx6ji9tk8i]

Gardiner and the Monteverdi and Baroque soloists! Just stunning. To think Handel was only 22 when he wrote this. It,s amazing to sing it. A new revelation in every section. Such attack, accuracy and vigour here. Thank you all.

Tout ce que touche Gardiner se transforme en or musicalement

[@daviddaniel2302]

Je ne connaissais pas le Dixit Dominus. Quelle révélation ! La direction de Gardiner galvanise les solistes vocaux les musiciens de l 'orchestre qui sont tous à l'unisson dans une communion, une joie une félicité incroyable . Gardiner est insurpassable dans ces répertoires baroques de Vivaldi , de Bach bien sûr et de Handel ,après avoir re-découvert Monteverdi. On deviendrait croyant en écoutant n'importe quelle oeuvre interprétée de cette façon si bouleversante et communicative !

[@kpdywo848]

C'est parce que l'homme à une espérance et croyance dans le divin que des cathédrales ont pu être construites, que la sixtine a été créée que des pyramides ont été élevées que des oeuvres comme celle ci sont nées. Mac Do, Samsung, dollar, Apple et consort appauvrissent nos âmes. Nous ne puisons notre force que dans le tout puissant...cosmique...élevons nos âmes, nous sommes trop faibles devant la mort et l'éternité, sinon à quoi bon la vie, si elle n'est pas faite d'amour et d'espérance face à la mort...

[@Musica-xo3uv]

This work is Amazing. I can't imagine myself at 21 composing such a masterpiece. Handel was a genius from a young age. Very admirable, since his family was upper class and they did not want him to be a musician, but a lawyer... but he was born to be a musician, he traveled through Europe studying different musical styles, many times he helped the poor through his concerts and died with honors. Now we can all enjoy these wonderful works. Thanks Handel 🙌🏻

The intensity, sheer beauty and perfection are almost beyond belief.

Could Heaven be any better than this?! No wonder Beethoven said that Handel was the father of us all! This must be right at the acme of Western Civilization. No other civ has come close to this, and the West itself seems now spent. What a marvelous, fabulous performance of this amazing opus! Mr. Gardiner seemed to have such an encouraging and collegial attitude. One that says 'we are all in this together,' rather than acting as if he wrote the music and is the master and is prying it out of the singers and musicians. This is such a treasure.

Mai aussi. Je passais par ici en cherchant autre chose, et je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher d'écouter jusqu'à la fin. Je connais cette œuvre depuis longtemps, et j'ai le malheur de comprendre les paroles latines qui traduisent pour moi toute la brutalité que le fanatisme religieux peut inspirer : le dieu vengeur « implebit ruinas, conquassabit capita in terra multorum », il mettra des ruines dans tout le pays des ennemis, il écrabouillera (conquassabit) leurs crânes partout. Les paroles sont dégoûtantes. Mais ici j'ai été fasciné par la "dulcedo cantuum", la suavité de la musique, et j'ai oublié la brutalité du texte. Contrairement aux commentaires qu'on lit souvent sur KZbin, j'ai l'impression que les compositeurs de musique religieuse doivent souvent transcender les textes qu'on leur fait mettre en musique...

The final Gloria and "Et in secula seculorum" fugue leave me speechless! BRAVO!

[@slowpainful]

Yes! I feel the same way about the finale! Particularly the way Handel sustains and spins out the fugue to what feels like an unprecedented length is thrilling. Even the subject of the fugue gets your blood racing as its rhythm on those first repeated notes accelerates, as though creating then concentrating the energy to move forward. And ending firmly in the minor enhances the drama of the entire work. You sense he was showing off his skills in a feat of virtuosity. A master at twenty-one! And it already "sounds like Handel".

Che meraviglia il giovane Handel "italiano"! Che suono cristallino e trasparente, a volte delicato, a volte energico e dinamico. E gli splendidi cori anticipano in tutto i grandi oratori della maturità. Esecuzione magnifica!

[@kasiasowik53]

Personally, I am fascinated by his Handel works, especially the one that appeals to me, Dixit Dominus - Gardiner. I could feel the brilliance and majesty of his work and listening to it transported me back to his time. Enjoy. Katy

[@ginettemorin2]

I had never heard Dixit Dominus before last month. It's a wonder like I've never heard. Now I need my daily dose... I love each of the choir and orchestra members. I admire J. E. Gardiner, I'm very moved to see the way he conducts the singers and the musicians. Thanks a lot Cantus 5 for posting. Merci beaucoup :-)

Perfect comment. Exact same feeling here! 👍

Gardiner is definitely a name to follow as far as recordings of best of class vocal baroque

[@olgaerler4111]

Прекрасная музыка и прекрасное исполнение. Спасибо. Представляю, как это трудно петь. Но какое счастье! :))

What an amazing moment !! The piece is marvelous, the choir and orchestra are perfect and what about the conductor! Brillant ✨

Musique divine! Si seulement la jeunesse était nourrie de ces magnifiques motets au lieu de se droguer à l'infernale techno, elle serait bien plus heureuse!...Merci MILLE fois!

[@catherinerichard1090]

La jeunesse fait comme la vieillesse, ce qu'elle sent et ce qu'elle peut. Quant au "bonheur" c'est comme l'"amour", il n'a pas d'âge et ne dépend de rien, ils sont autant l'un que l'autre "enfants de bohème"💚

i performed this with my university choir and it was one of the most amazing yet hardest musical experiences of my life. like this piece is so beautiful but so difficult to perform

[@frogmouth]

This performance is utterly engaging. Everyone fully present. Energy fantastic . Thanks for the subtitles. My Deutsch is better than my Latin. A joy to watch as well as to listen to. Gardiner is a wonderful conduit for Händel.

[@evanofelipe]

The energy and sheer joy of the lead singers that was wholly shared and supported by the entire choir was electric and the sparkling performance of the entire orchestra, all combined here to make a magical musical moment for everyone present. It remains great for us now to hear, but must have been incredible for those privileged to witness. All thanks to John Elliot Gardiner

[@user-sk4kd7ob2b]

Потрясающе!!! Благодарю всех вместе и каждого в отдельности! Какие прекрасные, одухотворённые лица!

l'entrata del soprano e del contralto iniziali sono totalmente GENIALI

[@dmitriypismenyuk7310]

There's a reason this conductor is Sir. Regal, majestic. Thank you for uploading.

[@obrcht]

One composer I admire Gardiner for is Handel. He understands the beauty of Handel's music which, in the main, relies on the force and vigor of details. He does not try to smooth them out in a refined bland manner as some H.I. P. performances.

[@joshdouglas333]

Amazing voices, an incredible conductor.

Еще одна дорога в Рай - это псалом 109 dixit dominus Генделя. Восторг и потрясение, душа трепещет. Прекрасное исполнение хора, солистов, динижера, оркестра. Слава Создателю за Генделя, и Генделю за псалом dixit dominus.

The delicate treatment of the "De torrente" is perfect for it's a thing of such exquisite, ephemeral beauty. Breathtaking!

De torrente at 23 min is ethereal! The sopranos blend beautifully!

[@icp818]

Indeed!

[@brunopetitmengin7176]

With ensemble vocal de Lausanne, de torrente est encore plus beau, à mon humble avis

[@MegaCirse]

Comme la première lumière de l'aube, cette musique ouvre les yeux à de nouvelles promesses et à toutes les merveilles de la nature. Evocatrices de pouvoirs au-delà de l'observation, cette architecture sonore tire les ficelles du cœur, attire les nostalgies et réveille les amours, les vies écorchés et la torpeur des veilleurs endormis !
