Handel: O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion (Messiah HWV 56)

[MrWorldlove]

I have been sitting here all day listening to Handels Messias from carosazone. It is just great

and I feel my life is completed in this music. It holds the future, - and Israel will be safe in the

middle of its enemies. The Lion of Juda will return. Amen forever and ever.

[Obinne]

I felt like clapping . I absolutely adore the conductor, having a good time doing what he loves. His enthusiasm is infectious

[dianabrstar]

A wonderful series...Thank you Carosaxone for posting..Art in all it's forms is infinite and speaks directly to one's soul ...Why would anyone want to control access to something like that?

[helmuthoorn]

Arise!.....

Quelle merveilleuse voix ! Au timbre tout en rondeur, comme un velours sombre. Je ne me lasse pas de l'écouter. Bravo à Alexandra Sherman et merci à caraxone

The best version I've ever heard is with Karl Richter:

Soprano: Helen Donath; Contralto: Anna Reynolds, Tenor: Stuart Burrows; Donald McIntyre: Bass.

Messiah itself is a wonder with not equal...

A delighful voice interpreting this lovely aria. The conductor seems to have had a good time and his enthusiasm has been passed over to the musicians and to the chorus !!!

A very satisfying rendition of this masterpiece..

Thankyou SO much for this clip. I have seen it before and was so impressed with Ms Sherman's voice, I just had to view it again. She surely has a very bright future - and I wish her all the very best. I own a number of different CDs of the Messiah, but Ms Sherman's version of 'Thou that tellest good tidings to Zion' wins hands down. Beautiful voice! Bravo!!

Got to say, all of the recordings in this series are just fantastic.

The men in the chorus are dressed quite dapper. Not the usual boring tux/dinner suit, and the ladies ! Quite a few sharp Aunties in there amongst them. Almost makes me want to get back into a choir.

As allways, well done and thankyou for this, just got in from work on another hot Melbourne day and relaxing enjoying beautifull music.

[carosaxone]

Lucky you that you got a hot Mebourne day. Here it's extreemely cold (-4°C) and foggy.... :-(((

[carosaxone]

In general I agree with you. I have many recordings, CD, video performance of Händel's Messiah but I think that the very best one is really this one performed by this cast

[gerwin991]

What a fantastic voice!

one of the nicest numbers of Händels Messiah
