Can a dramatic baritone sing Handel? Cornell MacNeil in Samson: Honor and arms - 1969

[@davidsimmons654]

Absolutely stunning

[@stevevandien310]

So wonderfully flexible for such a huge voice. I wish MacNeil had recorded "Messiah." Would love to have heard his "The Trumpet Shall Sound" during his prime --

[@ER1CwC]

Well the trumpet would sure have sounded!

Big voice that moves :D!

[@TrueConnoisseur]

MacNeil's powerful voice lends perfectly to this piece, it's only fitting for a giant to sing a giant's song!

[@deadwalke9588]

He should've performed "O ruddier than the cherry" as well. I can only imagine his low F's and those great low G's he had (he goes to a low G here in the "though I could end thee at a blow...")

[@jafb67]

At the height of his career he was simply the best! Thank you for posting this!

[@HTP-pb4iz]

I love yt and all the folks who post wonderful music and singers. I have never heard my father sing this piece?!? What a great surprise. Thank you!

[@NLidar]

Mr. Macneil is your father? You have good genes lol.

[@LornaKellyZim]

You can be very proud of your dad!

[@bradycall1889]

Wait you're MacNeil's son?

Big Mac poteva declamare anche tutti i cognomi di una rubrica telefonica. Aveva una canna armonica esagerata.
