When your purpose meets your calling given by Almighty God that you love, it sounds like this. The baroque lightweights can not meet this level of gravitas. Glory, Hallelujah! Thanks for the upload.
When I began listening to opera basses included Hines, Siepi, Tozzi, Ghiaurov, Raimondi, Zaccaria, Christoff , Frick, Triegel, Giaiotti. Name one bass of such quality singing today.
Nowadays it is pretty rare to hear a voice of such splendid & sonorous timbre in this type of music. For me this works better in Handel oratorios than in other types of baroque vocal music like Bach for instance but this is a purely personnel preference. The tempo heard here for example, in WHY DO THE NATIONS… one would seldom here these days. I rather like it sung perhaps just a tiny bit faster but basically for heavier bass instruments this approach heard here is what I personally prefer. This, IMO, is one of Hines best studio recordings. He had by this time got his instrument back in line after submitting it, for several years, to Wagner roles which temporarily gave him some problems. He is in fine form here although many baroque & early music advocates will take issue with its presentation.
In recent years, "But Who May Abide" has been sung by mezzos, contraltos, countertenors and even sopranos, but they can never match the gravitas that basses and baritones bring to this aria, especially in the case of Jerry Hines.

What a voice! A real bass, indeed. I couldn't find any modern version to match this one.

Jerome Hines excellent teacher, author of a book on vocal technique.
