Jessye Norman... you are truely magnificent, may I have the honour of meeting your wonderul self... God bless you at this time of year, you have moved me.... most fantastic musicality from yourself :) x
Incredible! One of the most technically perfect deliveries of a vocal arrangement I've ever seen, and yet it looks like Jessye couldn't care less about the lyrics.... bizarre..... Don't get me wrong, she is one of THE GREATEST SINGERS EVER... and yet...... do you see what I mean..?
@manthasagittarius1 Yes I agree. I love this song and Jesse is amazing but I was inclined to stop it before it began because I wasn't sure I had the correct video. Maybe there are copy write issues (??)
This piece normally takes 5-6 minutes. What in the blazes did the contributor think in trimming it to just over 2. It is an insult to Norman's great voice and to what might have been in this performance. In any case, from the couple minutes we had, it suggests the orchestra played WAY too loud and almost drowned her out. The conductor should be shot.
I listen to this every year, and every year it moves me to tears. To me this is the absolute depiction of God. A gift, grace, strength, immense power and unbelievable joy.
dang her mouth is ENORMOUS

Beautifully sung, but it feels just like she's singing any song. Mahalia Jackson sang this dong with so much feeling that you could sense her faith!

I think it is beatifully done, beginning wih the second verse. How could anyone not love this arrangement? The singer, Jessye Norman, is outstanding.

@eddiecat Yes -- it seems they cut in in the middle of it. And the arrangement is odd.
