This piece of music at its best is fantastic. I found myself wanting to drive the choir much harder. The introduction was a limp and lifeless. I know that much is often lost on YouTube, but there is deffinitely something missing here.
p.s. I have no religion and am a Democratic Republican so my comments are restricted to the music. The setting is as good as you can find anywhere in the world.

@B21983 Handel was born German but came to England in 1713 at the age of 28. He devoted his life and genius to the service of that kingdom and therefore surely deserves to be recognized as British, no?
The 4 Coronation Anthems are stupendous, but this one is the best!

@1finch2finch I think along with the Messiah, Watermusic Suite, and Music for
the Royal FIreworks, that this is one of Handel's greatest works. Thanks so much
for posting it. I can listen to it all day.

In the last chords of the instrumental, leading up to the climax of 'Zadok the Priest', I always choke up....every time. Magnificent.

The music may have been composed by a German but it is profoundly British.

@B21983 - Handel was German by birth but British by choice. What more needs to be said? His taste was impeccable lol. :0) .

@mmbmbmbmb 'Bombastic' is a perfect word for this piece. Sometimes, there's just nothing like a lung-buster. Glad you enjoyed it!
