The finest!!!

[@frankG335]

Beautiful mezzosoprano! Rich and effortless. I just discovered this channel! Thank you for all your uploads! They're inspiring! (I'm a lesser mezzosoprano, which means an "I am not worthy" mezzosoprano, which is a common fach.

[@mimingoran2365]

In the miasma of now...One only has to return to the past.

My woman crush all the way,I Love her voice,her carriage,how I wish I can have her contact and tell her how much I admire her singing prowess and also for me to do a duet with her.

Unfortunately, Sarah Connoly's voice deserve better recording quality. Nonetheless, she overpowers the audio mediocrity.

Isaiah 40 9. O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! 9. עַ֣ל הַר־ גָּבֹ֤הַ עֲלִי־ לָךְ֙ מְבַשֶּׂ֣רֶת צִיּ֔וֹן הָרִ֤ימִי בַכֹּ֙חַ֙ קוֹלֵ֔ךְ מְבַשֶּׂ֖רֶת יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם הָרִ֙ימִי֙ אַל־ תִּירָ֔אִי אִמְרִי֙ לְעָרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה הִנֵּ֖ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃ 9. 아름다운 소식을 시온에 전하는 자여 너는 높은 산에 오르라 아름다운 소식을 예루살렘에 전하는 자여 너는 힘써 소리를 높이라 두려워 말고 소리를 높여 유다의 성읍들에 이르기를 너희 하나님을 보라 하라 Isaiah 60 1. Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 1. ק֥וּמִי א֖וֹרִי כִּ֣י בָ֣א אוֹרֵ֑ךְ וּכְב֥וֹד יְהוָ֖ה עָלַ֥יִךְ זָרָֽח׃ 1. 일어나라 빛을 발하라 이는 네 빛이 이르렀고 여호와의 영광이 네 위에 임하였음이니라 To God Alone Be All The Glory. Hallelujah. Amen.

I think she is more an Alto than a Mezzo-soprano

[@acquazzur]

Jacob Dixon Oh no, she's clearly a mezzo in my opinion... Compare her to Ferrier or Stutzmann and you'll hear the deepest timbre in their contralto voices

[@esther-elizabethdarby5350]

There are different type of contraltos. Timbre is not the only thing to measure a contralto. For instance, you have dramatic, lyrical and middle weight contraltos.

[@kathilynanderson5933]

She is mezzo soprano with a great bottom.

[@1980rlquinn]

Opera and choral classifications use different names for different ranges. When applying a choral classification, most mezzos would be "altos", not "sopranos". Dame Connolly's operatic classification is mezzo-soprano, appropriately.

[@williambattaglini2198]

To be a Female Mezzo Soprano she's perfect. But Haendel's original voice was not female, but countertenor. I Think we have Bejun Metha on top if this piece, listen how full and fluent it comes (From 22'10") kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX3Wi6OfqdFgmas

[@SmithAbbott]

doubt very much that Handel used a countertenor, please do your research! He used Castrati but they are not at all the same thing as a counter tenor.A castrato would used the full voice a countertenor uses only falsetto. I did read somewhere that he employed very very few counter tenors
