As steals the morn upon the night

I love Ian Bostridge, he sings Handel's tenor arias so well.

[achantus1]

Certainly on of the greatest duets ever written. John Eliot Gardiners' version one of the best.

[achantus1]

This is certainly one of the most beautiful pieces ever, but still only one of many "hits" of Handel. He composed so many wonderful songs. I hope this will make more people more aware of Handels qualities. But John Eliot Gardiner's interpretation is still my favourite.

[tassiearn]

Absolutely breathtaking.The best version of the best song ever written.Handel will never be bettered,Of all his works my favourite is 'Theodora'

[LoveInAColdClimate]

Absolute magic.....it rises above so much rubbish on You Tube to stand alone in it's pure beauty.

[bellakemp]

Is this the most beautiful piece of music ever written?

[ras42795]

Oh my goodness, the tenor makes me melt. Does anyone know the names of the the singers?

[thebarroque]

If you read carefully they are on the video description...

@ras42795,

the tenor is Ian Bostridge, IMHO the best baroque tenor in the world, and the soprano is Lynne Dawson. But it is in the description anyway..

un regal de l'ame !

[karwei50]

I heard this on the radio and i cried and i cried... had to put the car aside... what did this song do to me?

[flowforms]

@karwei50 It opened up your heart and emotions - Handel does that

As steals the morn upon the night,

And melts the shades away:

So truth does fancy's charm dissolve,

And melts the shades away:

The fumes that did the mind involve,

Restoring intellectual day.

[BernardProfitendieu]

you copied from a bad source

the 4th line is:

And rising reason put to flight

[thebarroque]

Oh oh, I think that somebody didn't like your correction ;)

[jerald1610]

This is an aria that holds a great sentimental value in my heart. Thank you for including it in your excellent collection and keep posting more! You have a great talent for divers selection and superb taste in music. God Bless You and Happy New Year.

La réconciliation de l'allegro et il penseroso et l'acheminement vers le milieu, bel air de Haendel!

[wimniewenhuijs]
