[@ilonahsoos3137]

It was a great concert!

[@warjacare]

Only English can perform Handel's operas with perfection.

[@peterexner728]

An German !

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

⁠@@peterexner728 No, Handel’s oratorios were conceived in English and are best left to them in exactly the same way Wagner is best left to Germans. (And similarly, some things Italian and French are best left to Italians and French). That said, if you enjoy Handel’s English oratorios sung by Germans, or the operas of Wagner sung by English groups, that’s a personal choice and no business of mine. Samson of course is an oratorio, not an ‘opera’ as suggested by @warjacare.

[@deewick9049]

Wonderful, thank you for sharing. Especially the 'Total Eclipse' aria is probably the best version I have ever heard - so tender.

[@cyoalencar6267]

Marvelous. God bless the musicians. You're mesengers of angel's voices.

[@alfredoboso6361]

An amazing work by Handel wonderfully performed. The part where Handel/Samson pull down the edifice is especially stupendous!

[@gerardvanderleeuw7388]

Hartstikke mooi! Mijn grote dank voor alles in dit grootse project! Ik ben benieuwd naar alle nieuwe opnamen.
