Händel: He was despised - part two (Messiah, HWV 56)

[PlatoJaspers]

Terrible singing.

[Pretendkid]

what on earth

[rubberry54]

This is the most perfect version of this song I've heard in years.

[appeltjebenoni]

wonderfull! why not show it to others? i understand the fear, but otherwise its so special what you have made here! I wanted to look up the painting in the end, but could not find it. who made this painting and what is the name.

[teetoreeto]

This has brought tears to my eyes. What a gift she has. The orchestra and conductor are perfectly matched. Awesome!!! I am blessed to have heard them!!

@pvpeetje: She's from Sweden though she worked a lot for Nederlandse Opera.

[LaSopRAWna]

the shaking is from lack of support. it is my understanding that this is called a "tremolo." she may present an artistic interpretation, but her body is not under her. In other words, her body is disconnected from her voice. it's like trying to cough without moving your gut. if you sing with no support, your voice shivers and shakes. It's not grounded.

@Steppenwolf68: the singer is Charlotte Hellekant, alto, a Dutch opera singer. Also like very much her expression and her voice.

[Romanticdance]

Perhaps she needs Breath herself?

[Steppenwolf68]

Who is she? Vibrato, yes... but Piaf also had a fast vibrato. This singer might be from oprea: depth, control, a profound understanding and feeling of the dramatic, without which, you cannot sing Handel. She puts herself into the music and brings it all to you.... you only have to be open enough. Wonderful! Thank you!!!

[atravessia]

Very trembling voice!!!!

I don't like at all!!!

[myname4445]

Although the Messiah has been played over and over again, I particularlly love this song. And this one here is heart felt and sincere in performance. The interpretation is wonderful.

[l33tpwnzord]

Dude she is so intense. Like an android from another planet

[JosephPatrickMcmahon]

This is a fantastic production and rendition of this work. Full of character and discipline all at once. The images are emotive, but effective (and this comes from an atheist!)

[Alphonsus0di0Ligouri]

I love a singer who can really feel the peice and put the emotion weight to it that it deserves. Most look like a deer caught in headlights. She's superb.

[lhemmick]

Beautiful in every way. Brava and well done!
