Whoaa!! What an interpretation! Phenomenal vocal expertise from soloist and chorus. And technique of the orchestra. I also have to compliment he director on everything from the ground up in this, as well as his own conducting and his sensitivity to the musicians he is working with. Wow. I think this is a thought provoking performance. I admit to being partial to Messiah when performed by a chamber stye ensemble. Such solid sound and clean delivery by the chorus. There is something quite unique in this interpretation that I really like. I would have loved too have been there. Thank you for posting this Steve.
A little gem tucked away in the far corners of UA-cam. Love the way you fused emotion and musicality Steven and admire your guts to go for such a full on interpretation.... for me it worked brilliantly, full of sparkle and panache, without losing control. Very tight orchestra and the preciseness of the choir adds up to a sparkling whole. Love many of Handel's oratorios, but Messiah is justly a stand out. In Messiah, I particularly love Refiner's Fire!
@@artrolf4223 Thank you! I don't have one of myself alone but I'm in the quartet New York Polyphony which has lots of recordings (and 2 GRAMMY nominations). You can fid us on all streaming services and amazon (and on UA-cam).
A stratospheric tessitura, however! Why is this transposed into such a “high” key? I know that Handel did make different versions of the arias, depending on what singers might have been available at the time…

Thank you Paul!!
At the Day of the Lord none will abide. Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.
That guy 🎉 A tenor wizard!
Thanks!
This a piece of music that make my soul fly , great performance of choir and the great Mr. Wilson
thank you!
Bravo choir for an amazing “purify”
As a tenor he sure acquits himself on this one.
Now that is extremely good.
Quite superb.
Im crying here,
Thank you!
@@scwtenor Oh no. Thank you, you inspire and give hope- you are blessed by God.

Thank you so much!! This was a thrill to sing.
Wonderful performance, Steven! I love the strength and power of your voice. So much more enjoyable than when this part is sung by a counter-tenor.
Thank you!
If this doesn't give you 'goosebumps', (nothing will.)
Beautiful ❤
Thank you!
AMAZING!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely beautiful!
I just love these! Beautifully done!
Wow very nice to see the a minor version of this! The only other recording of this I know is the Hogwood/AAM recording.
Wow
Wow what a voice
Poderoso!
Btw, what is this singer's name?
It’s me, Steven Caldicott Wilson 🤓
@@scwtenor what a wonderful talent! Do you have CD that I can buy? 💿
