This tempo is so great. It gets that perfect lugubrious feeling underneath the soloist. I'm also glad he took the Low G and F pattern. Those are some sexy low notes.
@bluebomber1070 your spot on blue---I'm on it this sunday. 2 days before my 72nd BD. What a charge to still be doing these musical marvels. DG. Thank you G.F. H.
Singing this and "For Behold..." in voice lessons. It's amazing. Handel was a hero. They just don't make composers like that anymore... The entire Messiah oratorio is musical perfection! And he wrote the whole thing in 24 days.

Advert for XBox. Who DARED to put that in the middle of this masterpiece? Could it be (in Dana Carvey's 'Church Lady' voice)....SATAN?!?

Nice job! I do think it is a tad slow but I know that this aria takes a lot of work. It is a tough one to sing but amazing song! You sing it well!

@digbys01 This recording was the first I ever bought of MESSIAH and still my favorite. Your dad's soli are amazing.

This is probably one of the most beautiful pieces in the entire Messiah. (besides the Hallelujah Chorus).

Such a difficult aria to sing. I have to sing this for the Sheboygan Symphony on the 12th.

Fantastic! It is a little to slow for my liking but nonetheless a superb recording. Who is the soloist?
MusicDeviant 2 years ago
If this is the recording conducted by Walter Suskind, the solist is Roger Stalman.
