- I know that my Redeemer liveth by Georg Frideric Handel
I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand
at the latter day upon the earth.
And though worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.
(Job 19: 25-26)
For now is Christ risen from the dead, the first fruits of them that sleep.
(I Corinthians 15: 20)
One of the finest sopranos I ever heard. Such accuracy of pitch, of intonation and clarity of diction.
It is
I agree
WOW! I have just watched several versions of this aria, and this soprano is the one who made who made it sound the most effortless and lilting, so that the listener is enjoying the lyrics instead of straining along with the soloist. Well done, Francisca Kusi-Ababio. She also seems to be enjoying the message, instead of of just trying to hit notes..
This young lady stands at the microphone with great poise and confidence, singing with a very beautiful voice to the praise of God, with the magnificent accompaniment of the highly talented musicians.
Tears were rolling down my cheeks.
May God bless this lady, and may God bless this Church.
from Nigel Reilly, age 77, Coventry, England.
Amen!
I shed a few tears too. Her voice is heavenly, the musicians and the conductor were excellent

Amazing Voice❤
A bright new star has risen from Ghana.
Francisca.
How beautiful she is, the African rose.
My admiration for the whole ensemble!
What a blessing ❤
What a wonderful voice!!!!! Beautiful people for Jesus-Christ!!!
Glory to God! Thank you for your magnificent performances that bring glory to our Lord!
A beautiful and full voice regardless of register. And brought about by seemingly little effort. I was actually stunned.
Can you imagine the choir in heaven if the Lord's children can sing this on earth. O praise the Lord. Wonderful wonderful.
amen,oh my dear Lord Jesus, help me today win a soul for You,show me how
Couldn't be more beautiful! Excellent! It left a lump in my throat......... Duch
Wasn't able to finish my comment. Very Enjoyable performance. Thank You.....
What a marvelous voice! And she sings from her heart as well.
Without question one of the most beautiful voices I ever heard sing this piece and I have heard a lot of them! This choral and orchestra has much to be proud of! Absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful performance and rendition! I love the way Francisca Kusi-Ababio smiles throughout and her wonderful improvisations. Great young orchestra too. Thankyou Gramophone Ghana for making this available to us on YT.
Impressive - and sung without ego or bombast, but with quiet faith.
Omg!! Francesca with the angelic voice 😍
Thank you for posting this precious, sacred, astonishingly beautiful video which cuts through all my fears, doubts and hesitations, and takes me home directly to the heart God.
I'm sorry! I meant to say this video takes me home directly to the heart of God.
Fabulous soprano of breathtaking clarity and wonderful interpretation. Congratulations to the Orchestra, Choir and Leader on a beautiful and very enjoyable performance.
Sublime! She makes it appear so effortless.
The lady sings well, very relaxed, delivering perfectly.
Stunning performance. Everything is clear. I hope there is a video of the whole performance of the Messiah. keep going Francisca.
Wonderful!!!! The LORD’s name be praised forever!
Oh my goodness. This is such a beautiful interpretation. Pure notes, so clear and sincere. Thank you so much. You sang effortlessly. What a blessing!
This is indeed an uplifting rendition of this Handel piece. The soprano is just so pure; she's a calm soul singing which such serenity, yet piercing and sweet daintiness. The lyrics are just so fitting in the style of rendition. All thanks be to God.
Francisca, thank you for the commitment in your performance. Nicely done :)
I like the fact that her African accent is coming through in the song just as you would hear an italian accent if done by an Italian for instance. Weldone
Yes! And it adds to her diction coming out clearly, which is a critical aspect of delivery aesthetic. Whitney Houston aways made sure her diction was on point so that people could understand the words to her songs. So many times you hear opera sung in English, but you cannot understand the words. Francisca, well done! You cause us to thoroughly enjoy your rendition of this beautiful, faith building and faith sustaining song. Hallellujah! Well done!
Christ came to redeem all of us- Canadians, British, Germans, Italians, and Ghanaians. ❤
INDESCRIBABLE!! Goose bumps all over ❤
I love her ornamentations - they are a refreshing addition. The Westminster Chimes took their inspiration from this eternally amazing work. God Bless GFH.
Voice of an angel, hair doo of an empress.
Magnífico! Magnificat! (Pr. Ernesto Soares - Feira de Santana, Ba, Brasil)
An Angelic voice wow !, bless God Almighty.
Magnificent conductor, music and singing. Most of all the message of the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, THE PRECIOUS WORD OF GOD.
Um, dude. Try actually reading the Bible won't you?
ALL ARE PERFECT- TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!!!!
I too join every commenter here to air my admiration of this beautiful Queen of Ghana,GOD bless Francisca n the entire group. @ makame mwarabu kenya

Every day I watch this! The Spirit of God anoints this choir, soloists & musicians! And drummer too! Excellent!
j'ai été sidéré par la qualité de la voix et l'aisance avec laquelle la soliste arrive à avoir les sons les plus aigus qu'ils soient ! 👍👍👍
I was touched by the pure joy and adoration on her face and voice. She is so beautiful with such an enthralling voice.
Ghana has some of the world’s best vocalists.
God bless you for this beautiful performance.
0:50 - ok-wow!!! I have no words.
1:25 - I love that y'all have the projection on the wall behind. That is excellent.

I'm proud of you girl. I witnessed how you practiced and worked hard on your voice. Combining all these with studies and work, you are a genius. You are getting better and you'll go far.
*You are one who don't pay attention to unhealthy critique, so I know it doesn't budge you.*
Go higher girl
What Jurgen said. Thank you Francisca and all involved.
Very beautiful rendition, such powerful diction, she sings with confidence. Glory to God.
I have listened to many many interesting versions of this, one of of the best. Superb.
No atheist can sing this aria convincingly .May God bless and protect this beautiful woman.
I had just read a devotional about joy. Then the Lord brought to mind, "I know that my Redeemer liveth." And JOY it brought me when I listened to this rendition! Thank you so much for the clarity of diction with which you sing! Thank you! Thank you!
You are a singing sensation. Keep it up. Love it.
I fell in love with this gym 55 years ago. I need to hear it more as my life time draws to a close.
She makes this look easy! Probably the best I’ve seen or heard.
Beautiful voice but disliked the ornamentations. I think Handel knew what he was doing.
Me too, l was thinking the same thing, really loved how her accent came through. Great, bravo .
👏 🙌
Epic performance. Sumptuous delicious
Love at first hear! 😅😅🤩🤩🤩 She's too good!
Nice, very nice. Gentle and melodic.
AWESOME
❤
An outstanding rendition. Well done!
Breathtaking!
Nice voices actually angelic ones
Great rendition Franca 😍😍
My bosses Ato and Dennis on the black and white keys 💥💥
What a wonderful rendition of what I would want to be song at my own funeral!!!
Me too!
Is it because I is black? Utterly thrilling! Beautiful, superb! I mean to say, why is this not better known? It is bloody gorgeous!
No! Yes or maybe. But she does have a truly great voice.
And also seemingly effortless! Wonderful!
Accent??? Miss Ababio has a gifted voice. She's so beautiful.
Very lovely music
Quelle Voix! Les anges pourraient en être jaloux!
Effortless. Calm and effective rendition. No excitement. Wonderful
JESUS IS L-RD.
An angel singing ! Francisca, the flower of Africa !
Best version I've found!😀😊 She sings it like she really feels it! and there are a surprising number who don't use violins which you Have to have with this song!😀. p.s. I also love that this woman is dressed modestly, instead of the extreme inappropriateness of showing cleavage, like so women do in Church!
I think Isobel Baillie beats ‘em all.
Absolutely stunning voice, with phenomenal control and seemingly effortless high notes. The ornamentation was thoughtful and, in my view, entirely appropriate. To top it all, the orchestra performed beautifully and was very well conducted. A revelation.
Waooooo
Waooooo
Utterly beautiful WOW
Utterly beautiful WOW
😊
What a beautiful singer.
Wonderful orchestra ànd voice ❤
Perfect, excellent
Well done!
This is Beautiful,Everything is given
More Grace to strike more higher pitch👏👏
Awesome, superb, great soprano 👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌
very nice orchestra
Such a beautiful voice and performance, sincere and moving. She deserves a real orchestra, a real conductor, a vocal coach who specializes in Baroque performance practice.
Many ways to baroque Handel,especially with modern instrumentation available.
Yes .
Beautiful performance!
Who’s this guy conducting?
❤ so angelic is the voice.. afore taste of the heavenly praises to our Lord
Ian Travers
Excellent!!! I keep Coming back to hear Francisca again and again. What a beautiful voice she has. GFH stopped over in my home town of Chester, putting the finishing touches to Messiah before sailing from nearby Parkgate to Dublin for its world premier. Could he ever have imagined that a performance from Gramphone Ghana would once be freely available at the touch of a button, world wide, in vision as well as sound? How blessed we are.
I know definitely she will be an Alto singer like me 😊
😉
One of the best performances of this beautiful aria that I have ever heard.
No es la mejor interpretación musicalmente hablando, pero es la que más me ha emocionado.
Un saludo y gracias desde España.
Beautiful!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Beautifully beautiful
She is a gift
One of the few times I wish I WEREN'T a Mezzo Soprano. Bravo!!
Pure talent. I love Handel's Messiah.
Primera vez que veo esta versión. Sin duda, distinto y bello. Maravilloso. Emocionante.
Lovely lovely
Beautiful performance!
