den Preis unseres Herrn,
ihm danke alle Welt
und rühme seine Macht
auf immer und ewig.

What a piece! Handel really saw God as he claimed. This is heavenly. The counterpoint and the colouratura. I became emotional when I heard "Glory and honor are before Him, power and blessing are in His sanctuary." This performance brings the performer and listener into the same realm of spiritual ecstasy as the composer. I am blessed.

[@elijahumobong2835]

I will magnify thee, one of the best songs of praise , appreciate the choir

[@janewasson4845]

Haven't seen a good contratenor in forever. Excellent!

[@ritabowen8302]

Wonderful. Conductor, orchestra, choir, and soloists. Magnificent!!!

[@danielbenikahama]

Que Dieu vous bénisse...🙏🏽

Esto es magnífico, nunca había escuchado esta obra de Handel. Verdaderamente es un deleite.

[@mariepierre8663]

Beautiful. Thank God.

[@donizetti777]

WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@tritonusgesang]

Eine wunderschöne Countertenorstimme! - Grandios!

[@TeleBachHand]

A real, anointed gem here.....jn

[@giusepperocco3297]

Bellissima esecuzione: perfetto equilibrio delle voci, alta qualità tecnica, massima espressività.

[@Musica-xo3uv]

The Last "Amen" chorus is stunning. So much counterpoint

[@desmondnji8178]

Quite moving! The passion of the countertenor (Alex Portter) seems as though he's matching the spiritual significance of the lyrics with the music. Thumbs up Daniel Krämer! You age is not and is never a barrier to serving the Lord! Great baritone Peter Harvey!

[@jesuslozanofuentes5123]

Me preocupa y pregunto qué sentirán las 4 personas exactamente qué ponen que no les gusta esta música? Como serán en la intimidad,en la naturaleza, con sus ser más queridos? El gran mal de la humanidad es no poder conectar cada uno desde las emociones con la belleza en infinidad de formas que componen esta dimensión.

[@rodgermillington1198]

Love Handel's choral music but this performance is brilliant and imho proves that a well trained boy singer can hold his own against anyone and this lad can. All the soloists are excellent, thanks for this video.

[@agathemaman4674]

On reconnaît l’empreinte d’un grand compositeur, Haendel.

[@MrDrawlight]

So wonderful, thank you! 🌹

[@TheStephen34]

Glorious, a voice with a timbre very much like James Bowman!

[@valtergilenardi2639]

La Musica Terapeutica di Bach e di Handel mi ha aiutato a sconfiggere la mia Depressione. Dove gli Psicofarmaci hanno fallito la Musica invece è riuscita a farmi guarire. Saluti da Lecce South Italy ❤😊

[@paullewis2413]

Appreciation of music by the great masters is one of the most precious gifts to humanity. Those who never respond to this either through ignorance or indifference miss out on one of life’s greatest pleasures.

[@manfredwilhelmy7634]

Confieso que, consciente que no hay una relación, me siento orgulloso al escuchar al coro de de Tölz cantando esta música maravillosa. Nací en esa pequeña ciudad bávara hace 77 años .....

[@mariavanhoof7961]

Magnífico

[@jacobistiftung4345]

Eine Musik die vom Himmel kommt und zum Himmel aufsteigt in der Nacht vor Pfingsten

[@ademuyiwaadewunmi7128]

Sonorous with perfect delivery

[@StefanHabischKomponist]

Brilliant performence of my Teacher Handel.

[@starnafin]

The whole performance is very accomplished and does Handel proud.

[@colinhazell6259]

Magnificent!

[@inesdeerausquin5658]

What beauty!! The treble soloist is magnificent; the other soloists are too, but how clearly his voice rings above the more mature singers is completely impressive. They should credit all of them! Anybody have the names?

[@AML2000]

The boy soprano is Daniel Krämer.

[@Toelzerfanclever]

Danke, konnte ich erst heute anklicken...:)

[@academicusprecarius]

Klasse! Jede Minute ein Genuß! So liebe ich die Tölzer! Und den Händel sowieso...

[@belkismartin7019]

ESPLENDIDO. Maravillosas voces. Feliz Año Nuevo.

Vielen dankkkk!!! :)

[@giusepperocco3297]

Veramente eccellente.

[@faricr]

Que hermoso. Retoma algunas arias del Oratorio Belshazzar. Excelente interpretación!!

[@AML2000]

Daniel Krämer is the boy soprano that impressed several people in the comments. This shows an insurmountable advantage German boys choirs have over the most famous British ones. Boys in Germany are allowed to sing soprano or alto until their voices change not matter how old they are. Traditionally, British choirs kick the boys out at the end of 8th grade whether their voices have changed or not. Statisically of course, most boys voice will have changed or will be soon be changing around then, but there are always some boys who last longer than that. In this case, Daniel was around 15 here and lasted until shortly before his 16th birthday.

[@52sport6469]

AML2000 - At this concert Daniel Krähmer (note name spelling) was exactly 14 y. and 8 months old. His last real solos were around Christmas 2011 at 15 y. 5 months,

[@chrissebina]

wow lovely works, well done Where can I get this sheet music, anyone?

[@johnkennett6013]

A very big well done to the countertenor Alex Portter who did not get much help from the conductor

[@carloshamilton3825]

I wonder if Alex potter studied with mr James Bowman, the timbre is so similar...

[@geonmzahsan6640]

Is he a contratenor

[@tresorgnaba7460]

Please, can you give me the title of the third song ? Thanks

[@user-bl5yi4uw6j]

The quartet + chorus? The English text is: "Glory and worship are before him: power and honour are in his sanctuary." It's really wonderful, isn't it? The poster has the German but forgot the English.

[@palette_1563]

To answer kirinphoebe1 the soloists are Alex Potter and Peter Harvey

[@flemmingranch8777]

Det store kor med en kontratenor i spidsen, bare flot spillet og sunget......

[@jesuslozanofuentes5123]

son cuatro nada más, pero esos cuatro afean la realidad de todos, teniendo mucho poder en la población,mediante la política, económica religión etc.los pastores serán crueles mientras las ovejas sean estúpidas fray luis de León .

[@franciscoespinozagamboa6490]

no soporto los contratenores, ¿ no hay excelentes contraltos?.Veo un hombre cantando con falsete.-¿no quieren darle trabajo a una buena contralto?
