I have Listened To These Awesome Promises of GOD ×4, as if I were Hungry, and It was my Gourmet Food, Fri, 10/14/22, and was I was Well Fed! Thank you So Much! *A Very Beautiful Rendition of Comfort ye my People, and Every Valley shall Be Exalted; The Crooked (shall be made) Straight, and The Rough Places (be made) Plain! Thank you Young Man! God Bless you, Much!!! Amen!
Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; the crooked straight, and the rough places plain.
These two pieces are about as perfect an opener that a composer can get. The style sets the tone for the entire 'Messiah'. Comfort Ye...before laying out the case of the Biblical texts of prophecy. i.e. relax - everything will be fine...this is what will happen. You are in the perfect state of being for perfect timing. No one is ever in the wrong place at the wrong time. They may think that they are. But no. Lessons. All there are is lessons. Whether we decide to interpret anything as 'not worthy' of what You think is happening to yourself. It is perfect and the answer is painfully simple.
What a beautiful tenor voice. So lovely an opening to Handel's Messiah. I've never heard it performed with such true expression. And his runs are perfectly controlled. Handel's runs are the challenge of this oratorio.
My support from Spain to your beatyful words wrotten from your soul and with a feeling of hope for all the World listening the Eternal music of Maestro Haendel.
Sung in true Tenor fashion. There are so many Tenors these days that are not true Tenors who sing these wonderful word/tunes. Listening to you, I can hear my father singing the same pieces. Your tonal qualities are just superb.
So beautiful , and the words are so easy for the listener to hear (and I'm deaf). Wonderful breath control and sung with such understanding. Thoroughly enjoyed the Orchestra too. Will watch this countless times. Thank you!
In the midst of all the music in Messiah, Handel can still brings such riveting yet tiny themes that once heard are never forgotten. Those five notes are exquisite.
This is just wonderful. Everything about this performance and the recording is spot on. I'm listening to it for the umpteenth time and I can't get enough of it.
beautifully done, pure voice perfect for this song, so many versions by so many trying too hard and too showy... your singing draw attention to the flow of music and lord's words...thank you for posting.
Comment haendel nous ordonne le monde , met un ordre monumental dans nos pauvres borborigmes de fœtus de pensée et nous envoie au septième ciel , tout près du divin . puisse t’il élever nos âmes avec ses fastueuses et féeriques musiques!
I saw this in 1980 for the first date I had with my future husband. Now 3 years after his death, I'm to see it again at Exeter Cathedral with the new man in my life. Thanks for posting!
Catherine, we will find peace, not in our world but in God who is the giver of peace. One day He will come back to claim all those who trust and follow Him, and He will give us a new earth where only peace and joy dwell. Amazing!
Maravillosa interpretacion... No dejo de emocionarme cada vez que escucho esta version..que bien cantada con sutileza y sinceridad.. Todos los "confort ye" del cantante tienen una belleza increible..el segundo "confort ye" divino y el cantado "a capella" tan dulce y honesto que estremece el alma... En cuanto a la orquesta suena divina aterciopelado sonido y vibrante cuando hace falta... Una emotiva,sutil y vibrante interpretacion en conjunto... Gracias...
Sublime phrasing, impeccable tempo, warmth and yet clarity of a voice whose desired flares, undulate so clearly and dance to perfection and without the slightest quivering, every moment in unison with an orchestra so just that we may wonder, who drives and who follows ... What else, if not bravo, excellent, a delicious treat with apparent ease so disconcerting that it would expurgate, doubly astonished by this word almost unfortunate, and at least willingly, if the purpose required, its paradoxical literality .. .!
. But I'm happy for you, if your wide knowledges about music theories, or any instrumental practices, may help you to appreciate music or even only to distinct between heavens creations and masterworks from the common bullshit.... which has more probably inspirate your sterile, stinking and stupid comment.. I don't need or care any of your answer...Don't spend your precious time or talents.. and more over your so cheap and limitaded intelligence or even, who knows, any goodness...
I have just been asked to perform these two pieces in the fall here in Apalachicola, Florida. I surely have my work cut out for me. What a wonderful tenor to study! Kudos!
Wonderful conductor--he's a minimalist and he knows the orchestra knows where they are and when. No wild waving as if delivering a child, a child Handel has already given us. And the orchestra and the conductor know that.
I am qn atheist, but I absolutely adore all the wonderful music that religions have inspired and I sing avidly in a superb choral group.
The two words over which the greatest music has been written:
Kyrie eleison.
?
Nicholas Sharatt has fully realized the divine grandeur, strength and compassion of this complex piece.
Thank you dear Father for this beautiful music.

Magnificent! Nicholas exhibited outstanding vocal control including his volume and vowels pronunciation of his words!

Never have I heard this done so well. Beautiful
This is beyond beautiful!
God is great

When I think about the problem of the new coronavirus that is spreading all over the world, I think of this song. I wish you all the best.
You have excellent taste .
@@elizabethsohler1847 Yes, and I thank the Korean.
Likewise
Likewise wishing you and yours peace and prosperity

Always love to listen to Handel's Messiah, specially around Christmas time
i went so deep i thought i would cry, thank you
It's Saturday morning in Accra Ghana🇬🇭....enjoying this ...wish it won't end❤👌👌👏👏👏
May al. Almighty God have mercy on us
What a beautiful tenor voice. UTUBE put this in my suggestions. I'm glad I played it.
I think the youth of today don't get to listen to great music no longer🥺😢
One of the best renditions,beautiful clear voice/ tone and wonderful diction…Thankyou love to see and hear more of this beautiful man/ voice
Great singing - straight to the music - nothing showy. An integrity in that performance.
Perfect marriage between the orchestra, the poetry, and the "voice in the wilderness" of Nicholas Sharratt rendered her. Thank you! Beuatiful!
So beautiful , and the words are so easy for the listener to hear (and I'm deaf).
Wonderful breath control and sung with such understanding.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Orchestra too.
Will watch this countless times.
Thank you!
Deutero-Isaiah 40: 1-4. One of my favourite sections of the OT. Darius has liberated Babylon and God's chosen people may return to their own land. 😃
In the midst of all the music in Messiah, Handel can still brings such riveting yet tiny themes that once heard are never forgotten. Those five notes are exquisite.
Exquisite performance & message for 2023 and Every Year ! ~ Thank You ~
Thanks a lot. That was awesome! Praised be our Messiah, Eliyaanu Yehuda, The Lion of Judah, Yeshua Ha' maschiac, Jesus Christ. Amen!
This music was truly divinely inspired. It is timeless. God be praised for ever and ever. Amen.
Woke up with this passage in my head this morning and had to hear it. Glad I found this one. Wonderful job, sir.
Very comforting in this time of crisis!
A comfort and a challenge to all “who love His appearing”. Beautifully done.
Solo singer. Is like the soft wind through the wilderness, thanks
I love God's Word set to music
Absolutely fabulous beyond a shadow of a doubt! 🙂

Me too....jn
This is just wonderful. Everything about this performance and the recording is spot on. I'm listening to it for the umpteenth time and I can't get enough of it.

Catherine, we will find peace, not in our world but in God who is the giver of peace. One day He will come back to claim all those who trust and follow Him, and He will give us a new earth where only peace and joy dwell. Amazing!
One of the best renditions. Thank you.
The God of all comfort shall comfort ye...
Beautiful, gentle tone. Wonderful technique too.
my favorite piece!
Incredible breath control. I think I'd pass out if I tried what he did and I'm a pretty decent singer. Live long and prosper friend.
Maravilloso!!!
What a beautiful voice you have! Lovely tone and incredibly exquisite control.
Every valley shall be exalted,
and every mountain and hill made low,
the crooked straight and the rough places plain.
Isaiah 40:4
Joseph Benison I knew it was from the bible - should have realized it was probably from Isaiah , I couldn't remember exactly which book it was from.
@@stefanieprejean6609 All of Handel's Messiah is from the Bible.
Incredible. Especially since it's obvious to me this man is humbly singing for Him and not for himself
Very NICE .....maybe one day every valley shall be exalted
Best breath control ever for the tempo
Two of my favorite songs from Messiah.
Handel,está interpretación,hermosa y clara voz.todo simplemente.bellisimo
Simply beautiful!!!!
So clear n perfect rendition
Beautiful voice, beautiful strings.
Beautifully performed, Mr. Sharratt!

Beautiful soothing voice.
This is beautifully sung.
He is my favorite tenor on YT that sings this.
Wonderful conductor--he's a minimalist and he knows the orchestra knows where they are and when. No wild waving as if delivering a child, a child Handel has already given us. And the orchestra and the conductor know that.
Exactly

Much tenderness in the violins.
