[@pjzdreamz]

Sorry Folks, but it's just not Christmas for me without this choir and Tennessee Ernie Ford. God Bless America

[@gradydaub6356]

How many of you out there completely just shed many tears over how beautiful this music really is? Every time I hear the hallelujah chorus sung, or I play it (I’m an organist) I break down into tears of gratitude. I thank God every single time I hear that played, and I thank God that Handel made such glorious music to glorify our wonderful creator and father. Amen, and Hallelujah!

[@pjzdreamz]

For over 50 years this has been The Choir my family has listened to, especially at Christ Mass times.

[@alejandrorawsi6491]

The best choir in the world.

For Unto Us A Child Is Given, And The Government Shall Be Upon His Shoulders; And His Name Shall Be Wonderful ... The Everlasting Father; The Prince Of P E A C E. ! ! !

[@elopezgu]

IM NOT MORMON BUT I ENJOY THIS GREAT CHOIR. GREAT MUSIC. THANKS

[@dorathydotson3002]

For, unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name shall be called: Wonderful! Couselor! The Mighty God! The Everlasting Father! The Prince of Peace! I love the Messiah- both the man and the music.

[@dorothykobmann6548]

Handel was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write such beautiful music.

[@bebotmaxphilippines.5656]

Agree, Praise the Lord.

[@pjzdreamz]

I can't imagine any Christmas without this incredible Choir and Tennessee Ernie Ford.

[@edwardparker8]

No better music than that of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Every Sunday morning my family enjoys starting out the day with the Choir.

[@5brosn1chick]

Excent! There is no better choir in the world.

[@philipmarquis5622]

Could listen to this choir for hours.

[@Nonie46]

I absolutely agree. I believe that when Handel composed "The Messiah", being Catholic, Protestant, or Jewish or Muslim did not cross his mind!

[@johnuhr-henry9508]

WHAT A GREAT CHOIR SINGING THE GREATEST MUSIC OF MANY CENTURIES. THIS IS THE GREATEST MASTERPIECE OF MANY,MANY CENTURIES, WHAT A COMPOSER HANDEL WAS,THIS WAS HIS GREATEST ACHIEVMENT.

[@johnuhr-henry9508]

WHAT A GREAT CHOIR SINGING THE GREATEST MUSIC OF MANY CENTURIES. THIS IS THE GREATEST MASTERPIECE OF MANY,MANY CENTURIES, WHAT A COMPOSER HANDEL WAS,THIS WAS HIS GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT. THE MESSIAH IS THE GREAT MUSIC AND SUNG BY MANY ORDINARY PEOPLE.

[@hannibyarub9379]

This is the best performance I've ever listened to. It's certainley a MASTER PIECE. Händel received a real inspiration from heaven above to write MESSIAH that will everlast for ever and ever. MY CONGRATULATIONS TO SUCH WONDERFUL CHOIR.

[@arthurkunglejr2065]

As I tell young Mormons I meet in their outreach, this choir reaches out to all, the Salvation Army reaches out to help all, Roman Catholic Covenant house those in distress, the Methodist Children's Homes help those without right elders, all try to get folks back to church & a better way. Thanks & may God bless.

[@alankelly4656]

I was a choir boy in my local church in the north of England. And of coarse sang the soprano bits. I am now 67 and still in my mind sing it that way. It is of coarse one of the most fabulous pieces of music ever .

[@m.9243]

Blessed be all these people for singing praise to The Lord! They bring joy and comfort to many of us and humanity everywhere in the world. This is heavenly music indeed! (..I am not a mormon by the way, just a Christian..)

[@agonludmilla]

MORMON TABERNACLE IS THE BEST PREACHER OF THE GOSPEL OF LORD JESUS CHRIST IN THE WORLD. I LOVE THE MORMON TABERNACLE.

[@bebotmaxphilippines.5656]

The Lord's choir.

"And being thus overcome with the Spirit, he was carried away in a vision, even that he saw the heavens open, and he thought he saw God sitting upon his throne, surrounded with numberless concourses of angels in the attitude of singing and praising their God" (1 Nephi 1:8). "For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads" (D&C 50:12).

[@OrangeOrangeTrees]

Handel's Messiah has got to be the most incredible work of all time. I feel lifted, strengthenwd listening to it. Wow, what a lot of good it has done

[@watabemasahisa513]

GREAT

[@audaxbizimana9391]

Glory of the Lord shall be revealed

[@TheMusicPinkLover91]

That's it right there ... music all around the room ... you could feel the passion!! My dream is just to be in a hall like this enjoying myself with some fresh music without hearing anybody say that it is boring!

[@ediejacobs7099]

Edie Jacobs I have been privileged to sing the Messiah several times with various community choruses. It is a chilling experience to blend ones own voice with several other choirs together! The music of Handel's Messiah will live on forever. Words taken from the Holy Word of Christ our Lord! ✝️

[@tupigoias]

I agree with Deborah Meyer: Christmas is not Christmas without Handel's Messiah sung by the amazing voices in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir! What a treat to our ears and to our souls!

[@p.s.dupont7455]

So inspirational! It feels like being in heaven listening to this. I strongly believe that they sing close to the angels choir above. You feel so different when you're listening to them. You forget for a moment that you're living in a crazy world all you think about is heaven.

[@ldyoung7938]

It was in the late 1950's when I first heard this choir. That first song I heard was "Lo how a rose e're blooming". I've now reached the age of 74. One of the great Blessings I've experienced has been listening to this great Choir and now with the Orchestra! Thank you so very much for providing such a Blessing!

[@adriantatu9180]

SUPER===THANKS A LOT DEAR AMERICAN SISTERS&BROTHERS===LeHAIIM HaMASHIAH===1 1\1.

[@eldonfoster2576]

To my mind this is the greatest musical score ever written.

[@lindaperry819]

Love the chior ; the orchestration of the music, along with special guest stars (Katherine Jenkins, Andrea Bocelle & Kristin Chenoweth) are among my favorites. Every time I listen, I'm inspired & BLESSED!! THANK YOU ALL KEEP THE CONCERTS COMING!💟💟💟💟

[@keithfritz6280]

THE MOST POWERFUL MISSIONARY FORCE ON EARTH - - ENOUGH SAID!

[@rickkernell6131]

+Keith Fritz Keith, Keith, Keith...mormon?

[@Coupal1]

Not sure what the point of your statement is. You don't have to be Mormon to appreciate the beauty and genius of Handel's Messiah.

[@rickkernell6131]

First, it's not a statement. If you recognize the funny line at the end as a question mark, this makes what was written a question. And no you don't, but the assertion that you make implies that the music was intended to proselytize. Now, Handel was indeed a believer, but at the time that this was composed, he was more concerned with making money. Of course the wrote from the feelings in his heart, but he could have cared less if this had any "missionary force". Read his history...

[@lawrenceb56]

Were you pounding your fist on your desk when you wrote that?

[@rickkernell6131]

No, scratching my head at Kieth's remark...

[@tuicci]

Handel, a genius, really inspired by God! Amazing! The last song, Hallelujah, is powerful and comfort us anytime. Enjoyt it!

[@warrenpugh7844]

Ciao Icaro, I suspect you know this great chorus is not the 'last' in Messiah.?? It is Worthy is the Lamb' which is just as brilliant and inspiring . . .at least to we singers. WASP

[@lydiasmith4145]

I have just sung this. Handel is my favourite composer. It was particularly special because one of my sons was also singing. Singing draws families together. Families should sing together a lot more than they often do. What a lovely performance on the recording.

[@hectorpilot1]

The best performance of the Messiah I have ever seen and heard...

[@dilipwilliams6994]

Handel's Messiah has been sung so reverently and with such meaning that it inspires many to prayerfully thank for having it written. It takes me back 55+ years back when we used to sing it in a small town of Lucknow in Northern India, although it was nothing much as compared to as what am hearing MTC singing.

[@deborahmeyer135]

It's not Christmas without this beautiful choir and Handel's Messiah! I used to perform this work every year until my voice lost that beautiful range that was justice to this work. No other musical work can make me shed tears more than this. It's beauty gives me "goose bumps" If only I could perform it again!!!

[@deborahmeyer135]

***** I AM NOT A MORMON. This comment was about music, NOT RELIGON

[@DrTerminus]

+Alex Lichty, I think you're jealous.

[@DirectorRichman]

Not a very Christlike perspective or statement. Sound very judgmental. What does the Pope say about the LDS church and its members..?

[@johnfielde]

Thank you Deborah. I for one, sincerely appreciate your comments and honesty. I also am not a Morman and do appreciate their music and musicians having also had the opportunity and priviledge of seeing them perform in the flesh.

[@sarahalhassan8362]

The best singing machine ever put together on earth!!!

[@tenohaikabanzai]

In awe I attempt to fathom the inspiration of Handel. Certainly it did come from high above.

[@arthurkunglejr2065]

As I tell young Mormons I meet in their outreach, this choir reaches out to all, the Salvation Army reaches out to help all, Roman Catholic Covenant house those in distress, the Methodist Children's Homes help those without right elders, all try to get folks back to church & a better way. Thanks & may God bless. Mr. Arthur

[@RBELL1128]

This is music that will be around throughout eternity. Thank you to all of the musicians for the excellent musical offering and heartfelt oblation.

[@DrTerminus]

Superb! Handel's Messiah is one of the most divine pieces of music ever written. What a powerful performance!

[@davepalmer395]

I can't get enough of this inspiring music! Love the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Erin Morley!!

[@barrynicolle5281]

Congratulations to MTC, you sound like an English choir and to sing these great choruses with such a large choir is no mean feat because large choirs can be very unwieldy, but you are fantastic.

[@johnuhr-henry9508]

This is a brilliant collection of music from the Mormon`s. Their Choir is one of the great Choirs playing on this earth. Their Orchestra is brilliant also.

[@abbabb8641]

I knew a Presbyterian minister that went there to hear the choir. He said no recording could ever reproduce what he heard there.

[@RogerPack]

Wish I was there :)

[@asanisilasabudu6298]

I love this choir....

[@johnuhr-henry9508]

The greatest combination of music ever composed by the great composer Handel.

[@dafyddjones1525]

Absolutely splendid - a joy to hear such a beautiful choir and individual singers. Bless you all. From Daniel, Sutton, Surrey UK.

[@terryrussel523]

Wonderful that they are using a peroid 'piano' !. The classics like this sound so much different when presented in the origional format. The Tabernacle Choir has been a class act for more decades than I've been alive. Great Grandma still still has some of their first records. God Bless Them.

[@stephenpatterson2860]

The name you're searching for is harpsichord, and I agree! Such awesome music performed by an amazing group.

[@rositali1081]

I like your choir so much!!

[@paulJBunnell]

A wonderful performance

[@5brosn1chick]

I can always tell when music is really good; I get involuntary chills all over, and I don't have flu or a cold. I don't have a malaise as I would if I were getting sick; rather, it is a very pleasant, thrilling feeling. I get it only when I am listening to this choir, more so when it is one of the great masterpieces like the Messiah or Ode to Joy, etc.

[@giftyaidoo4272]

Classical music is my best kind of music and Handel is my favourite composer as well.

[@222mozart]

+Gifty Aidoo )))) but Händel is not a classical composer )

+222mozart Classical: a creation of enduring value or esteem. I think this qualifies.

[@222mozart]

+Paula Hope händel is a barock composer

[@paulJBunnell]

I've always loved the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. What a great performance! I'd love to be in the choir but at least I've got a cousin there. Well done!

[@nandnjudge]

I have listened to many versions of the Messiah over 50 years, this version comes very close to the top as being the best in every respect, quite magnificent.

The Best Nothing to beat it

[@rudiechinchilla6746]

There s no doubt you might have aboutthis book just read it and ask God to answer you if the book is true, I did when I was 14 and felt a warm feeling on my chest as a result, and even though I was not an adult already I could understand God answers people according to their disposition and He reaches you. That was enough for me, it sustained me through my years in the university where Atheism was a creed , yet I had an eperience with God and as Joseph Smith said ; I could not deny it

[@shifman100]

Wonderful! We have just moved to the Salt Lake City area and I hope to hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in person! Great acoustics in the Tabernacle!
