Where'er you walk (Handel) Richard Croft

"Where'er you walk" from Semele (HWV 58), 1744
by George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)
Richard Croft with Early Opera Company under Christian Curnyn
Where'er you walk, cool gales shall fan the glade;
Trees, where you sit, shall crowd into a shade.
Where'er you tread, the blushing flow'rs shall rise,
And all things flourish where'er you turn your eyes.

[@JeffreyStivers]

You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love Richard Croft, one of my all-time favorite Handelian tenors. You'll notice he is well represented on my KZbin channel.

Dear Jeffrey, Oh my God, I love everything, Richard Croft the music , the settings, waw Jeffrey what a beatyfull surprise, Thank you so much, I love It all With greetings William

[@JeffreyStivers]

You're welcome, William. I'm so happy you enjoyed this. I am very fond of Richard Croft, and in looking for art to pair with this I discovered the remarkable work of photographer Kirsty Mitchell. These gorgeous images were created in memory of her mother who passed away from cancer in 2008.

What a beautiful voice. Thank you very much Jeffrey for sharing this treasure.

[@JeffreyStivers]

You're welcome, Hugo. I'm glad you enjoyed this. I'm very fond of Richard Croft's singing, and you'll find he is well represented on my KZbin channel.

Impeccable technique, glorious voice, tasteful decorations. In a photo finish I think Anthony Rolf Johnson's interpretation of this beautiful aria fractionally noses ahead via the latter's inventive cadenza in the da capo which for me (mixing my metaphors) puts the icing on this other cake. Go compare.

[@JeffreyStivers]

I agree with you completely. Anthony Rolfe Johnson is my all-time favorite tenor in this repertoire, and he is in a class all his own. That said, I'm also very fond of Richard Croft. Both are well represented on my KZbin channel.

Croft is without peer!

[@JeffreyStivers]

Indeed. I love his singing.

[@DavidHughes-op6zl]

I like his rendition of the aria, it's very fine and polished but I disagree that he's without peer - see my earlier remarks.

Hellooo Jeffrey. Maybe there is a problem because at 0:20 the video stops the reproduction. Congratulations for all your work

[@JeffreyStivers]

I'm not sure why you encountered a problem, because I was able to watch it just now without any issues. Maybe you could try it again; perhaps it was just some kind of glitch. Thank you for your support.
