Lea Desandre & Iestyn Davies sing Handel: Theodora, HWV 68: "To thee, thou glorious son of worth"

[@joeharris1717]

Oh my. Here I am again. And again. Truly a masterpiece that endures.

[@errudimini]

Depuis que j ai découvert cette immense artiste et cet immense orchestre je n ai plus de mots pour dire le plaisir que j ai à les entendre , je dirai seulement ”merci” pour toute la beauté dont vous nous grat😊ifiez dans ce monde d horreur🙏🙏

[@rogermaes6001]

Even Händel couldn't ask for more ! It's fine, subtle, intelligent, beautiful, without being mannered, without looking for any catchy effect. The art embodied in these incomparable voices and instrumentalists. Thank you for this sublime moment.

[@paulwusteman1094]

Glorious. Lea Desandre has great English enunciation on top of her colossal musical talent. Iestyn Davies is glorious as ever. What a wonder - the whole ensemble!!!

[@GabrielSantos-qe9lu]

To thee, thou glorious son of worth, Be life and safety giv'n. To thee, whose virtues suit thy birth, Be every blessing giv'n. I hope again to meet on earth, But sure shall meet in Heav'n

[@djperry211]

Handel’s Theodora appears to be making something of a comeback with more and more recordings over the past few years. These two artists are magnificent and ideally suited to the work.

[@Lespace2]

Not only the two singers, also the musicians are artists and play so wonderful!

[@francinesicard464]

The world is in such a mess at the moment. Listening to Monteverdi is soothing to the soul. Remarkable and delicate interpretation of this Theodora with these 2 divine voices and the dazzling Arts Florissants.

[@jean-didierboye5221]

Je cherche les bons mots, je n'y parviens pas, tellement je les trouve insuffisants pour montrer ce mélange d'admiration et d'émotion que ce duo m'apporte. Merci

[@MitchBoucherComposer]

Lovely performance, everyone! It is very inspiring to see so many young people involved in the performance of Baroque music.

[@antoniogarciaontiveros5387]

¡Sublime interpretación, y exquisita sensibilidad! Handel estaría feliz si hubiera podido disfrutarla

[@geraldinePage-c9r]

Handel as it should be - flamboyant, excessive, and fabulous - like rock stars of the Baroque period

[@ThibaudSaintinLFIB]

Voilà plusieurs années que les moments où j'ai l'impression de vivre VRAIMENT, de retrouver toute la puissance des émotions de mon enfance, c'est grâce à la beauté à laquelle vous donnez tout votre art et votre énergie. J'ai commencé à vraiment écouter de la musique à trois ans, à y comprendre quelque chose du jour où j'ai fréquenté "ceux de la fac de musico", il y a... trente années. Vous nous donnez accès à une intensité impensable parce qu'incarnée : technique, collective, charnelle, patiente, acharnée, spirituelle, éminemment musicale... : un contact avec l'intensité et le sublime, qui tient en en quelques notes trouvées : justes, patiemment cherchées, pudiques et nues à la fois... Les dernières secondes où l'on voit Thomas Dunford, encore à la tâche, approuver d'un regard ce qui vient d'être enregistré, sont magnifiques. Merci. Avec mes proches, avec les enfants dont je m'occupe, avec les voisins qui n'ont pas le choix... je retrouve dans tout ce que vous faites une écoute toute neuve, un désir permanent de nous dédier à tout ce que nous avons de meilleur. Du fond du coeur et de l'âme, merci - de la part d'un qui, un jour, a abandonné le piano et l'a regretté toute sa vie désormais bien entamée... Je sais pouvoir compter sur vous et vous suis avec... (osons le dire) amour !

[@SidoineA]

Je n'aurais pas trouvé les mots si justes et si naturels pour dire la même que vous. Merci

[@mariaantonietta6845]

Un’esecuzione raffinatissima! Stupenda!

[@PM_ME_MESSIAEN_PICS]

Upvote the lyrics so that more people can see it Theodora: To thee, thou glorious son of worth, be life and safety giv'n. Didymus: To thee, whose virtues suit thy birth, be every blessing giv'n. Both: I hope again to meet on earth, but sure shall meet in Heav'n.

[@charlespeach7360]

Magnificent. Absolutely glorious. This is a global rockstar early-music dream team at all layers from the vocals, the musicians, and (ironically) the modern sound editing.

[@cashelnd]

Extraordinarily beautiful music-making here--Jupiter keeps going from strength to strength, and this venture adds further luster to their discography.

[@klausmenke8496]

Traumhaft, möchte Ihre Stimme zum Musikalischen Entspannung in mein Herz ❤️ aufnehmen. Händel wäre glücklich Sie persönlich zu hören. LG. Klaus ✝️☀️🌻🙏

[@composergarylloydnoland]

Simply beautiful!

[@bobroberts6155]

Lea moves as gracefully as she sings, no surprise to learn she studied ballet for 12 years.

[@paulhwbooth]

Magnificent performance of a lovely aria in what is, in my opinion, Handel's finest oratorio. Worthy to set beside that of Dawn Upshaw and David Daniels.

[@melcadman]

Agreed it equals that legendary performance ... at least Lea and Iestyn don't have to contend with all the awkward positioning and 'business' of live opera! These two and Sabine Deveilhe, amongst other incredible young musicians, make me confident classical music currently is in the best of hands ...

[@highphlyer]

@@melcadman I agree entirely. I have been a listener since the 1940s when all we had was an FM radio and a Victrola. Now, modern technology has enabled us to hear virtually anything we have time for, from KZbin and other universal media! OH! What I have been missing!

[@ptatmsu]

Since their registers is practically identical, this is an interesting study in the other ways that the male and female voice are different.

[@frogmouth]

Well it's like asoprano and a mezzo except it's male alto . It's a lower but overlapping register

In 1 woord; BEELDSCHOON❤💖🌹Dank U

[@marietteiung433]

Dommage qu’il n’y ait pas le nom de tous les musiciens et de l’ingénieur du son … mais interprétation et prise de son superbe !

[@melcadman]

I know something about at least some of Jupiter's outlandishly classy musicians, if it helps. Their leader is the outstanding lutenist Thomas Dunford; despite his English name, he's French, but born to an American father in France. Some of Lea's success must be attributable to his work, initially accompanying her but latterly forming and directing Jupiter, which provides the most ravishing, re-configured, accompaniment to singers and other soloists. The bassoonist is Peter Whelan, Irish, and now regularly conducting a wide range of groups - sensational bassoon player! The harpsichordist is Jean Rondeau, an outstanding solo player of baroque repertoire, especially Scarlatti. The bass player is Hugo Abraham, another outstanding player also interested in other genres including jazz. Not sure about the string players, although I recognise two from playing in the Ensemble Pygmalion, another magnificent baroque group. Can't tell you who are responsible for video and sound but the quality of these is in a wholy different league to most other vjdeos on KZbin. It's impossible to imagine how this could be improved: a testament to the very greatest musicians, aligned to wizardry in filmimg it. Wow!
