Thomas Dunford, Jupiter, Lea Desandre, Iestyn Davies - Handel: "Eternal Source of Light Divine"

[@ansstf]

My son lives far away from me and studies at the music conservatory. And I've been listening to this every night for two weeks and thinking about him.

[@goldcountertenor6048]

This is beautiful @ansstf

[@PaddyQuiggin]

I would listen to Lea Desandre read the ingredients on a packet of breakfast cereal. An absolutely stunning voice.

[@huolalupin6008]

Pity she can't pronounce English.

[@pjalexandra]

precisely, couldn't have said it better.

[@nero68ad]

Iestyn Davies and Lea Desandre with Thomas Dunford's directing make this one of the most ethereal and beautiful Handel pieces ever performed.

[@bernardgravil4397]

Lea Desandre ,Lestyn Davies et ... absolument remarquable je ne lasse pas de vous écouter par ces temps de grogne de fureur . Merci , merci...

[@jane---489]

*_You just know it's one of those moments when you have been in the presence of, and witnessed something very, very special_* *_This was one of those those moments ..._*

[@joeharris1717]

Yes…

[@florencevinit648]

Lestyn Davies est tout simplement merveilleux....

[@stelioskatsoulis1125]

What a flawless performance for a masterpiece of music composed by a genius, performed by outstanding musicians.

[@arvopart3783]

The singing of Lea Desandre is absolutely perfection - it's impossible sang better - the dancing of weightlessly of one voice and body leads to divine harmony and carries away soul in... eternal infinity of flying... I'm bowing.

[@goldcountertenor6048]

I so much admire Iestyn and Lea…. This is beautiful 🥹

[@mariovalencia7167]

Iestyn, Lea, Dunford, Rondeau, madre mía que plantel de músicos. Es un placer escuchar esta maravilla, sobre todo a Iestyn, un contratenor clásico, ante tanto sopranista chillón que hay hoy día.

[@rogermaes6001]

Handel is The "Eternal Source of Light Divine" ! Thank you for reminding us so "divinely".

[@MrPitt1970]

I have had the pleasure of hearing the beautiful sounds of Lestyn Davies. His tone, pitch and pronunciation are arguably some of the most authentic that a human voice can produce. I haven't heard the voice of Lea Desandre until this piece. I had chills listening to her ethereal melodic and angelic voice. Her range from alto to soprano pitch is effortless and sublime. LOVE them both!

[@DieFlabbergast]

* Iestyn

[@ClaudineFranco-u1p]

Beau duo que j'ai eu le privilège d écouter en live au festival de fenetrange. La voix de Léa m avait particulièrement touchée.

[@yasminesoprano]

I cried with emotion from beginning to end and for a few more minutes. Divine!

[@thestratford51]

Eternal source of light divine with double warmth thy beams display, and with distinguish'd glory shine, to add a lustre to this day.

[@alvarocabreravillalon3363]

Bravo !!!! my two favorites !!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@marco6764]

Talmente bella, sublime e divina, da ascoltarla con la paura di sentirla veramente con tutto il cuore. Ti porta in un mondo che vivevi solo da bambino, quando si canta, si gioisce e si contempla, è catartica. ....grazie

[@scharnhorstkaisarbeethoven]

Man this music is enchanting

[@ronnykarat9841]

This is what " Exalted" means! Truly!

[@annemarietourdias2208]

Vous êtes merveilleux, quel bonheur de vous écouter et... de vous voir! Merci

[@jean-yvesPrax]

Musique merveilleuse, interprètes extraordinaires ... les meilleurs parmi les meilleurs ! C'est pour ces moments là que nous sommes tombés amoureux de la musique baroque. Sur le plan "cinématographique", si je peux me risquer à un avis un peu critique : - j'aime bien les prises de vues "sauvages" en ambiance répétition, les mimiques, les sourires complices... mais à dose modérée... Je trouve que les cadreurs se livrent de plus en plus à des trips artistiques personnels qui ne respectent parfois plus du tout la musique. Les gros plans sur la barbe hipster de Jean Rondeau, ou sur le dernier microphone H326 XP, très honnêtement... on en a rien à f.. On aimerait se concentrer sur la musique de Haendel. Les yeux fermés, tout redevient divin. MERCI !

[@rcalabri]

Absolutamente de acuerdo. Hubiese sido óptimo ver solo a I.D. y L.D cantando

[@BartBVanBockstaele]

I am a big fan of Emma Kirkby and Mori Maki, and I think this recording of Lea Desandre is right up there. This is heavenly. I should not omit Iestyn Davies either. His performance is magnificent.

[@ginacrusco234]

Could not be more sublime.

[@anthonyyates2309]

This is magnificent. The simple tune exposes the voice in an extraordinary way.

[@nadezhdap1123]

Необычная, божественная музыка и красивые голоса.

[@davewong4834]

What a TREAT on this Christmas Eve. Greetings from Canada! All the best to everyone!

[@69EBubu]

Sublime teaser qui rend bien compte de l'ambiance exceptionnelle qui règne lors des enregistrements avec l'équipe Jupiter, et qu'on revoit et réécoute avec toujours la même intense émotion.

[@marchandesermf2854]

Léa " La divine voix " je n'ai pas de mots pour décrire cette merveilleuse interprétation ......3minutes 15 s c'est vraiment trop court .....

[@forestiercharlotte3172]

Album acheté, pour avoir le plaisir d'écouter sans limite

[@cyrus7475]

This is one of the best version so far, sending love from Sydney🥰✨✨ My favourite part was when Lea Desandre had to change her voice, it was just sublime. I have never heard it sang this way before making this a utterly other world experience when listening. Word can not express the feeling when I first heard it, just soul captavating. I thank you all for this majestic work of art, well done.

[@Zooooouuuuurrrrrhhhhh]

Merci pour ce cadeau...Bravo !

[@afsg2410]

Wonderful voices, wonderful performance of the instrumentalists, thank you!

[@luconanina1770]

Léa Désandre, Händel vous doit de la gratitude pour cette sortie absolument magique et prodigieuse qui me suscite à la fois le frisson et la larme. Adorable !!! Wunderschön !

[@danielperroni3884]

Acredito que, o grande Gênio Melódico do século XVIII era Georg Frederick Handel...! E que apresentação mais sublime foi essa, meu Deus...! Watching from São Pauo, Brazil...! Awesome...!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@randomuser4370]

Heavenly! Thanks, Warner! Thanks, Lea, Thomas, and Iestyn! (+the other musicians)

[@andreawallenberger2668]

And G.F. Handel 😊❤️

[@Chris-hf2sl]

Lovely. Händel is very much underrated at a composer. Nearly all of his music is fabulous, his arias particularly so.

[@bruno_dias]

I agree. Handel and Purcell were, in my opinion, the greatest composers for human solo voices.

[@lessismore4470]

Yes: divine and eternal.

[@matu_matu12]

素晴らしい‼️暖かな光に包み込まれる❤

[@Eerau]

Lea Desandre está interpretando la melodía de la trompeta? Glorioso!!!

[@loganfruchtman953]

Handel’s music makes me think of my nana who past away a little over a year ago peacefully. Handel was her favorite composer

[@ОльгаОстровская-ж1к]

Как это трогательно❤

[@loganfruchtman953]

@@ОльгаОстровская-ж1к this piece was one of her favorites. It was sung at her funeral. 😢

[@valeriedecoen5618]

Quelle merveille !

[@dion1949]

I enjoy watching musicians set up, having done a bit it myself.

[@atoms-to-atoms]

[@carolynhall1302]

Absolutely stunning!

[@Exayevie]

Classical music would be much better understood and more approachable if more people saw it the way it is here. Talented people in sweaters and jeans, working damn hard to max out their skills and makes something beautiful together.

Wonderful

[@ggalaxy9065]

While my favorite traditional rendition of this masterpiece is sung hy Grace Davidson, I also love this arrangement, so beautifully sung by Miss Desandre & Mr Davies!

[@bluesnowbelle7625]

This version is okay but Grace Davidson's voice is beyond PURE and divine.

Maravilloso!

[@darrenburke9630]

Its really musical talent whoever wrote this,i just couldn't do it.

[@antoniasoggia]

Rilassa l anima!!

[@infinitum5425]

I absolutely love this aria having heard this many many times by dfferent singers & undoubtedly I know Lea is an exceptional voice; however , whilst Justins countertenor sounds perfectly suited, curiously & conversely I'm not conviced the mezzo-sporano is a 'working' with this piece ✨🤔

[@liliamarie5329]

I agree...as a mezzo she handles the high range with exceptional grace and beauty, however I think the piece is meant for soprano and you can definitely tell the difference. For a high soprano it would sound easier and the diction would be much clearer.

[@kimolos]

❤❤❤

[@deborabatista9383]

I've been in Heaven for the last 3:16 min.

[@virginielafrench3921]

C 'est très beau, je ne conteste pas , surtout la performance de Léa Desandre mais pour moi , James Bowman reste inégalé sur ce morceau célèbre. Oui ,j 'ai mes contre ténors préférés mzis selon les morceaux, je vais préférer Untel ou Untel . Philippe Jaroussky sera meilleur sur ça, Andreas Scholl sur ça, Tim Mead sur ça et ainsi de suite .
