I had never heard this aria sing by a countertenor before.very good indeed.

[@OlubukolaBakare]

Nostalgic. I sang this SOLO in My Church Choir during Christmas Carol Service Years Ago

[@deanwinslow1407]

Just got home from working 10 hours in the hospital and admitting 3 COVID-19 patients. Beautiful music by Handel performed by ABS and video from Grace Cathedral really made my day! Thank you so much.

[@American-Bach]

1/7/24. Wonderful. Thank you for posting this. May God help me and everyone to truly behold God.

[@TiggerToo27]

The Messiah is truly a gift from God.

[@georgegeranios2918]

Finally, a counter-tenor! Nothing wrong with the gals but this is more authentic to the times. A lovely, intimate and beautifully recorded take on one of my favorite pieces of music. I am listening to every version on KZbin today just because I can. Thank you!

[@fitnessbabe7958]

Here 10/14/22024. I can’t wait to listen to this music the whole month of December. I love Jesus.

[@richardhobson7912]

The music is lovely but the best part for me is how much the brilliant soloist looks like he's enjoying himself. It is contagious!

[@ntombizodwamakitla9668]

Soothing music thank you for the good voices the leading voice is God given it reached RSA🎉❤

[@henryhowz413]

Beautiful Alto voice 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

[@mailiheie2327]

Großartig! Die Leichtigkeit und dem Charme mit dem er es singt... Bezaubernd!

[@MrJckpttsn]

Was blessed to be able to perform the Handle's Messiah in a university choir even though I was sweating like crazy under the hot spotlights.

[@linexmugambi8125]

This aria always gives me goosebumps. It's so moving, and the countertenor voice is perfect for it! 🫣 🥶 🤯✨

[@tonybklyn5009]

Beautiful tonal balance.

[@mousiebrown943]

A blessed and healing teaching of God's Holy Love thru His Son Jesus the Christ, born of the Virgin Mary. 🙏🏻❤🙏🏻 Thanks be to God!

One of the best I have come across.

Magnificently done!

No, May Handel Be Praised. From your local Athiest,

Handel's Messiah is one of the greatest ministries about the birth of Jesus and his wife praise be to God and Jesus and the holy

[@alaskafan21]

Nicely sung. Congratulations.

[@manthasagittarius1]

Interesting, the interpretation of "Behold your God!". Not sure about it, but intrigued. Certainly this singer makes me take it seriously, and not as a superficially dramatic but over-emoted stunt.

[@NicoleCzarnecki]

Handel himself actually gave the singers with whom he worked a lot of improvisation leeway.

[@mariovalencia7167]

Magnífica voz de contratenor, gran musicalidad y color de contralto, que bonito registro el grave de Jurenas. No lo conocía, ha sido un descubrimiento. Bravoooooo.

[@shadbolt4687]

Superlative!

[@michaelmiller1215]

Extraordinary!

[@American-Bach]

Thank you, Michael. Eric Jurenas has such a secure and thrilling voice. We loved having him in this film.

[@JeanHayner]

Behold your God! Arise, shine, for thy light is come!

[@Dandukee]

Magnificent!

[@terryyooncountertenor4041]

natural!

[@lotannaarthur4893]

Alto solo❤️

[@richardhewton]

This is the best version I've heard yet. His voice doesn't suit his face at all which makes the surprise even better

[@Bunnahabhain1982]

I've never hear this by a good countertenor before. I've heard it done by world class female singers, but this works better.

[@Reuthacke]

All glory be to God

[@TomTom-tf5lx]

Praise be to our God❤️

To anyone who is accustomed to think of faith as believing something for which there is inadequate evidence - or none - I'd like to challenge you to actually look up the Bible passages that are quoted or paraphrased in Handel's Messiah. If you do that, I expect you will be able to confidently say, Faith IS the evidence. Hebrews 11:1

[@TiggerToo27-w3d]

I always thought a contralto sang this song.

[@stewartraesidem4473]

American Handel is more muscular than British Handel.

[@OnMyWaytotheFLA]

I don't understand the fascination with male falsetto singers. This man did a fantastic job, but his sound is weaker with far fewer overtones than an alto. It's also not like there's an overabundance of male solos to fill....

[@SknappCFA]

Because countertenors and castrati were common in Handel ‘s era, and he often wrote music for them.

[@nielskjr5432]

Countertenor? No thanks! Not my cup'a tea. I like boys singing the soprano in a choir. Not grown up men.

[@rustydog1236]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@sikequan4542]

Me? I don't care if a rutabaga sings it, so long as it does it well. This dude was okay.

[@deboluccia]

I agree

[@nielskjr5432]

@@da7382 Is it? Listen! 200 - 300 years ago very few men were singing like this. Men like Farinelli who were castrated at a young age. It was not normal and certainly not the intention of Händel when he wrote Messiah.

[@Cynicalgeek743]

He’s not singing as a soprano. And why do you particularly like boys singing and not men?
