I've seen Messiah about 50 times in my life, and this is one of the most natural and prayerful versions. It's beautiful. The text on the screen behind is a brilliant idea! A lot of folk go to a Messiah never having found out the origins of the text. 😘🤗❤
I agree. Have to say, I cringed a bit at the use of e-keyboards, but the tenor is superb and all together this is indeed one of the most natural and prayerful versions I've heard.
I have heard many hundreds of tenors, few of them are as good as this. Perfect pitch, enunciation and full of power throughout his range. Moreover he has such conviction, he knows the full significance of every word!
I have loved this piece for so many years when I had a barber shop on North Beach in Durban In the later 90s I used to play it in the shop I did get one or two complaints which I may have rightly or incorrectly refused to listen to,, I have rediscovered my love for it and the message it conveys
This is the best version I've ever heard!!! The power& clarity of Ebenezer Antwi's voice is perfection.Thank you Gramophone Ghana for all your hard work on this outstanding performance!Happily working my way through the G.Ghana playlist,it's amazing! ❤2 all,from KittyHawk,NC,USA.
Psalm 139:14 New International Version 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. God has blessed this musical team in abundance ❤❤❤❤magnificent gift to us!
ohh that I could only sing that clearly that I could stand on the street corners and sing and as a praise to God reach out to others with the glorious gospel thereby
listening in 2022.... this is pure talent. I also appreciate the guys playing the keyboards, that's top-notch. as a keyboardist I also respect the Yamaha brand for such great orchestra strings.
Thank you. I'm struggling with some things in life and GOD reminded me of this song and these verses. JESUS has and will fix everything in our lives by HIS MIGHTY power according to HIS perfect will.
I never thought I'd hear Handel's Messaiah done so gloriously sweet. I couldn't tell that what I'm hearing is not the usual traditional baroque orchestra of violins, violas bass, double bass etc, but keyboards and the fantastc vioces of Gramaphone Ghana. Simply beautiful, for want of more appropriate words. Well done, a trillion times over.
Riveting! This marvelously gifted tenor and all the others involved in this special recording move me to believe and to pray more deeply, with more humility and thus to rejoice more fully. Thank you for posting this!
When he says, "comfort me" he speaks with such love and conviction...as it should be. The timing perfect to get the meanings. And the occasional gestures, like opening his hands as he says " make way". he's so fully involved in the text. Wave from the UK.
Hallelujah. The Lord God omnipotent reigneth. "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes" (Psalm 118:8-9) and "Salvation is of the LORD," Christ JESUS, "The LORD our righteousness!"
I just keep right on listening to this inspiring version,all year long,it's such a fabulous composition and performance! Why listen only at Christmas and Easter?❤2All❤from KittyHawk,NC❤
I have just stumbled across your videos and am blown away by the beauty and purity of the singing! So spiritual it crosses all boundaries/ Thank you to this talented singer, love from South Africa.
Isaiah 40:1-4- 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: for she hath received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins. 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: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain.
Right!? How gorgeous was all of this! I go back and forth between being speechless and wanting to text 25 pages of my thoughts!!!!! This is something TRULY special that the world should see.
When I was younger, I was invited to play my violin in orchestras that accompanied choral presentations of Messiah but WOW! those synthesizers are really good!
Really would have loved my late Dad to have seen this. He was a dear Christian man, who loved Handel and had 100s of Handel CDS and loved the Messiah. I am fascinated that all the parts are played on keyboards and the singing is amazing. Isa Chapter 40 has got to be one of the greatest in the Bible, not only do we see how much God loves his children, but we learn about the greatness of God.
I love this. Isaiah 40 is the curtain raiser for the greatest turn of events , in the human history, foretold by God the Father and executed in a perfect manner by the Son of God.
G'day from Australia! Mate, I really enjoyed watching your performance. Great voice and a great rendition! Keep at it bro! (btw I sang this piece for an audition at our local philharmonic choir many years ago, so it is very close to my heart). Looking forward to seeing more of your performances.
To God be the glory for this glorious rendition. Yes! The Lord has promised comfort for His people for He will do wonders for those who put their trust in Him
Oh my goodness- I saw the hallelujah chorus- I didn’t realize they sang the entire Messiah!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS TO ME. Every Valley is my favorites after Hallelujah Chorus. Are these people in your church, or, did you hire famous people to sing this? Truly, this is just such a glorious celebration of Lord! I love how you put up matching passages on the screen. I just can’t say enough about how talented and wonderful this is. So inspiring!!!!! This is just gorgeous! Half way around the world- I want to hug everyone and get to know them. I am just so happy for your church and your ministry that you have people that can sing all these movements with such expertise!!! Well done!!! Sending hugs and love from USA!
Ebenezer Antwi, you're on your way to becoming the nation's greatest tenor. No contest. Keep working hard, we'll meet at the top by God's grace. Kudos to the keyboardists too and GC as a whole. #IamPeculiar
Just saw for first time. Was looking for different versions of hallelujah chorus- I didn’t realize they sang the whole dang thing! Every Valley is my FAVORITE! This young man just got through two very difficult movements like it was EASY! There’s a reason why you usually see old older men in their 50s/60s/70s singing this movement in particular. It’s an extremely high level of difficulty. I am sure he is gifted and more than capable with anything he sings- but the hops on the runs of Every Valley are not traditional runs. This was so beautiful to watch! All good wishes, young man! The Lord has given you a GIFT!!!
There will always be a Judas🤣 or more like Critics especially in music. Perfectionists more like who will hear what you don't hear but who cares. it is a masterpiece. You can do yours if you don't like another person's piece.
Bravo!!! Beautifully done !! 🙏🏽🎶🙏🏽🎶
Let's give applause to the keyboard players who are beautifully replicating the strings. Great job!
God speaks to us through this man's voice.
Faultless performance - beautifully sung with precision and passion. Thank you
extraordinary voice. bravo .
What a tenor! Beautiful enunciation, thoughtful interpretation, elegant phrasing, and a voice that verges on being world class. Thank you.
He really does have a beautiful voice! It's almost as if God is whispering comfort to him as he sings.
More than verges.
Fully agree. Best vibrato I have heard in the last half century. He should have been globally discovered 5 yrs ago. Hope it is not too late.
MORE THAN GOOD

I’ve never heard any sound as good as him. The clarity in his voice is astounding.
Ça c’est un vrai homme.
This young man has an unearthly voice- so pure, strong and clear, I never thought I'd hear such perfection this side of heaven - WOW !
That's what the cat said! 🐈
I hadn’t even noticed that there’s no orchestra! What a beautiful interpretation!!! Thank you!
What a voice! God gave the indigenous African people gifted voices and the welsh…natural beauty and power unmatched ❤
Beautiful!! An amazing tribute to God! Thank you. ❤
Superb.

Such a powerful voice.. clear. Wonderful Diction. Consistency is unspeakable. Glory be to God Almighty.
Celestial voice...
Infinity round of applause especially to the soloist and the entire team👏👏👏👏🙌😍
Mr. Antwi has such a powerful but clear tenor voice. absolutely one of the best I will ever hear.

Very fine performance. The keyboard string stop is lovely.

This is so good, no orchestra, never mind we will find a way around it I take my hat off to everyone on stage.

Thank you JESUS as my brother sings comfort to my being
The most beautiful rendition of comfort ye I have ever heard. Blown away!
Bravo!!! 👏👏👏👏❤️
What a marvelous soloist! I was both thrilled and inspired! Thank you. And, thank you to the choir, the keyboardists, and the director. Beautiful!

I grew up in Ghana. They’ve always had great choirs, but this is my first time listening to one that sings classical pieces. Just brilliant!!!!
Never believed its an African that is singing with such an Angelic voice
I call it “anointed” by our Helper, the Holy Spirit …
Jesus did not leave us alone, but sent His Spirit on Pentacosr
@@mbaobamedavid7668 And why should an African NOT be able to sing with every bit an angelic voice as anyone else?
I was thinking the same thing!@@randalbladel2817
Africans have beautiful enchanting voices ❤🙏🏼
What amazing conviction as this young man sings.Wonderful.May God Bless him.
Hallelujah! Thank you so much for your gracious performance. This is Korea.
Great job 🎉
Fabulous. Isaiah, the prophet whose words told of the virgin birth, several centuries in the future, and the location of the birth of the Christ
Hallelujah. The Lord God omnipotent reigneth. "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes" (Psalm 118:8-9) and "Salvation is of the LORD," Christ JESUS, "The LORD our righteousness!"
Amén, amén, amén y amén

Remarkable. So powerfully and skillfully done. Beautiful.
Great voice🔥🙌
I've long been waiting for someone who'd sing this song the way it's done in the above video 🎶
A Guy's ability is exceptional, great Tenor voice.
Thank you!
Wow, excellent uplifting, vibrant and energetic chorister, thank you
Yes, @trishtraynor, "one of the most prayerful versions." I'll sleep sweetly tonight, young man. God Bless. . .
Fantastic!!

The voice of God that sings of the voice of God Sublime
Praise God we need this great music
Beautiful Music....Thank you😊

Exactly what I came here to say. Goosebumps!
Beautiful 😍!!!
This is so so beautiful. God bless u
👂🏾❤ 10 out 10
What a beautiful interpretation - possessing excellent diction. I have found this is often performed a 'tad too showy'. Wonderful!
I think this group has put harmonious chorale on notice! don't know who came first.
Great tenor!!
Wow!! Thank you for sharing your incredible talent!!

Who are the ten people with a thumbs down? Goodness! Anyway, just awesome! Gives me chills during this season of Advent!
Am just wondering too.
Must be atheists
There will always be a Judas🤣 or more like Critics especially in music. Perfectionists more like who will hear what you don't hear but who cares. it is a masterpiece. You can do yours if you don't like another person's piece.
