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!

[@TiggerToo27]

The Messiah is truly a gift from God.

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

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.

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

[@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!

[@tonybklyn5009]

Beautiful tonal balance.

[@mailiheie2327]

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

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

[@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.

[@Dandukee]

Magnificent!

[@henryhowz413]

Beautiful Alto voice 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

[@arlenehensley6753]

Magnificently done!

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

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

[@alaskafan21]

Nicely sung. Congratulations.

[@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.

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?
