John Eliot Gardiner conducts the Monteverdi choir and English Baroque Sololist,
Sololist : Michael Chance (counter-tenor), Nigel Robson (tenor)
Une oeuvre grandiose, géniale, un "Must"...Les choeurs sont d'une puissance inouïe...A écouter seul ou avec des personnes passionnées de la musique d'Haendel dans une pièce, en silence....
As wonderful as this is to listen to, it is much more fun to sing. Fire mingled with the hail ran along upon the ground!
I think the chorus "He gave them hailstones" out does in power any single chorus from Messiah--an impressively high ba to begin with.
+Jamie Spencer Nor sure I agree with you, in this chorus piece "out-doing” anything from the Messiah, but it is cetainly very powerful and absolutely wonderful!
too bad Handel didn't write it, then :-D I love it as well, btw.
This is beautiful wow He gave them "HAILSTONES "
The choruses are so epic. I think Handel was ahead to his time
Excelente obra, gracias por su maravilloso aporte al arte universal. Todo es perfecto, gracias.
Beautiful.
Me too! Sang this last year for nursery concert. Unbelieveble!
BEAUTIFUL
A masterpiece of the greatest musician of all. Congratulations to John Eliot Gardiner.
Beethoven thought Handel the greatest of composers, which I find somewhat puzzling.
This piece would be enough to consider Haendel the best composer ever born. But there are a lot of others.
Handel's music had never been "forgotten" as Bach's was. Beethoven knew a great deal of Handel, little of Bach. He knew, for example, Handel's Op. 6 concerti, but not Bach's Brandenburg.
Bach's music was never totally forgotten. As a child, Beethoven played the Well-Tempered Clavier, and certainly organists continued to circulate Bach's works. Actually, it was some of Beethoven's (and also Haydn's and Mozart's) works that were forgotten. The Violin Concerto was played once and only revived decades later by Mendelssohn. And probably Beethoven also knew the Art of Fugue, the B-min Mass, and the Goldberg Variations.
To be played when I perish!
You are hearing the world's greatest countertenor, Michael Chance,who at the age of 56 remains one of the best musical interpreters in all that he sings!
...es preferible escuchar una buena contralto en estos roles. Hay muchas donde elegir
I believe that Handel was particularly Divinely inspired by God to write this and the Messiah. I play it on UA-cam quietly at work to keep away the stress.
Sorry, that all I have for this performance. Thanks for viewing this great piece of music.
Don Goncau :) which year was it performed?

Dont worry and thank you so much

Excelente interpretación, alguien sabe cuál es la pieza del inicio que tocan antes del recitativo del tenor ?
Overture is from "The ways of Zion do mourn". Sometimes performed using the Overture from "Solomon" which is also genious but much longer, also depending on the context to be performed, because they are continuing stories. When I performed I.i.Egypt, the subsequent story of Solomon followed up directly. So Solomon Overture was the interlude, and "ways of Zion" comes a an initial illustration of the suffering Jews when being in Egypt - before the Exodus.
Part 2 is now available on UA-cam: ua-cam.com/video/J-TEg9rCeE8/v-deo.html

una version idiomatica con un director conocedor seria ideal la version completa
Smoking weed is illegal, but English opera is ok?
@ coldplayplayer15: If you're referring to Israel in Egypt as an opera, it's not. It's an oratorio, which is a large-scale work for Chorus and Orchestra and soloists without costuming or scenery. Not at all the same as opera, and the singing style is different than opera (no vibrato for the Chorus as one example).
Kudos to all, especially Nigel Robson. Would love to hear him sing the arrangement of "Messiah" with tenor solo "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth."
BTW, totally agree with comment by . I experienced this in a choir of 80 performing at Malibu, circa 1970 - still one of my all-time highs.
+Steve Sexson You are obviously a person of exquisite sensibilities and taste. Will you agree with me that the words "There was not one, not one feeble person among their tribe" MUST be sung forte, straight out at the audience, printed scores at waist level, just to heighten the drama? Gtnsteve1
Steve, I know what you're saying. I performed (on my cello) the Brahms German Requiem with full orchestra and choir, and even though it was in 1975 (when I was in college)--still one of the highlights of my life. I so wish I could do it again. Or this one!
Sounds different when your not singing it yourself
2:33 OMG this guy has a high voice!

Alier its not in egypt
Sorry but what piece is it for the overture?
uhm..why the ridiculus dresses on ladies?
i don't think they're ridiculous at all, but I did have a thought that maybe the different colors of blue was supposed to be representative of the Nile River...as blue is an unusual color for concert dress.
@@letinhsong8024 Around the year 1980 (and all the way to 1990) the ladies in Gardiner's choir wore extraordinary dresses. You can find Monteverdi Vespers from around 1990 performed by them as well.
They always wear uniform but today it is simply black and white, as usual.
